Crowns & Veneers to Restore Teeth with a Natural Look

Dental Restoration in Edmonton

Often dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal at Kucey Dental Group, serving St. Albert, AB, is to  replace existing crowns and fillings with new restorations. Contact us today for an appointment.

Reliable Repairs for Teeth

Where damage to a person’s teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain “pasted on gold” crowns to make the smile appear “as new.”  These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems.

How Long Does It Take to Fit a Dental Crown?

Fitting a crown requires at least 2 visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of either plastic or metal.

On the subsequent visit we will remove the temporary crown, and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful looking tooth.

Key Benefits of Dental Crowns & Bridges

The benefits of dental crowns include:

• Replaces missing teeth

• Offers support to misshapen teeth or badly broken teeth

• Looks completely natural

• Fixes “smile” and functional chewing problems

What Are the Capabilities of Crowns?

Crown and bridgework is a solution for major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases, or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either high-grade porcelain, or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or bridges can be used as a long-term solution.

Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause “appearance” problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.
