At Maple Ridge Smiles Dental, we know that damaged or missing teeth can affect more than just your smile, they can impact your ability to eat, speak and feel confident. That’s why we offer Dental Crowns in Maple Ridge as a solution for restoring both function and appearance. Our crowns are custom-made to cover the entire tooth and protect surrounding teeth while blending in with your natural smile. Whether you’re dealing with a cracked tooth, tooth decay or need to cover dental implants, we can help. Using modern technology and a caring approach, we make sure your dental crown feels comfortable and looks natural.
Dental crowns are one of the most important restorations we offer. A crown can save a broken or decayed tooth by holding it together & protecting it from further damage. It can also serve as a beautiful replacement for an unsightly tooth.
A crown, also called a cap, is a good way to cover teeth that are discoloured or badly shaped as well, or to cover a dental implant. A crown can make your tooth stronger & improve its appearance.
A crown acts the same way as a tooth, so after your crowns are placed, you should treat it the same way as well. Continue to brush & floss regularly & see your dentist for regular checkups!
A dental crown, also known as a tooth cap, is a covering placed over a prepared tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength and appearance while preventing further damage. Crowns are used for damaged or missing teeth, including after root canal treatment, to protect a weak tooth or to cover discoloured teeth. At Maple Ridge Smiles Dental we create crowns using ceramic crowns, metal crowns and porcelain fused to metal (PFM) for maximum durability and aesthetics. Crowns can also cover dental implants and support dental bridges to replace a missing tooth.
In dentistry a crown or a cap is essentially a fake tooth that fits on top of a damaged tooth. These restorations are custom-made to fit your smile and are built to last. There are many conditions that require crowns to save your teeth. You may even need a crown after certain dental treatments. A root canal or large filling can weaken an affected tooth and make it prone to cracking or breaking so a crown is needed for protection. Crowns can also be used as a cosmetic treatment to improve the look of a misshapen or discoloured tooth.
Dental crowns are a solution for both functional and cosmetic dental needs. They restore your tooth structure, protect natural enamel and help maintain long-term oral health.
Our dental crown process is comfortable, efficient and natural looking.
At Maple Ridge Smiles Dental, we evaluate your oral health to determine if a crown is the right solution. The process includes preparing the tooth, taking impressions, a temporary crown and fitting the final crown once it’s ready. Using computer-aided design and advanced materials like zirconium dioxide or porcelain fused to metal we make sure your crown fits perfectly and restores normal function. Typically the process takes two to three weeks.
Step-by-Step Process
Not every crown is suitable for every tooth. At Maple Ridge Smiles Dental, we offer several types of crowns in Maple Ridge so you can choose the right option for your needs.
Metal crowns are made from gold or other alloys. They are the most durable type of crown and metal crowns rarely chip or wear down opposing teeth. However, they don’t blend into your smile, making them better for back teeth rather than visible teeth.
Ceramic crowns are made from porcelain and are highly valued for their aesthetic qualities. They can be matched to your natural tooth colour, making them ideal for front teeth restorations. However, porcelain can be fragile and may not withstand heavy biting forces, especially on molars.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns offer the strength of metal with the beauty of porcelain. These crowns combine a porcelain exterior with a strong metal base, giving you the advantages of both worlds. However, the metal edge may show at the gum line, and the porcelain surface can still wear or chip against surrounding teeth.
Zirconia crowns are made from zirconium dioxide, a naturally tooth-colored metal that is also very durable. They are a great option for patients wanting a balance of strength and appearance. While tough, zirconia crowns may not be as translucent as porcelain crowns.
Choosing Maple Ridge Smiles Dental means trusting a team experienced in all types of crowns in Maple Ridge.
With proper care and regular dental visits, crowns can last 10–15 years or more. Durable materials like zirconia crowns can last even longer.
