Key Benefits of Dental Crowns:

Gregory delayed a crown for a molar with a large filling, leading to a fracture while eating caramel. After emergency treatment and the crown, his tooth was restored, and sensitivity gone.

What Actually Happens During the Crown Process?

Let’s walk through what you can expect when you choose a dental crown at our Abbotsford dental clinic:

We begin with a thorough examination to ensure a crown is the appropriate treatment and to check for any underlying issues that need to be addressed first.

We prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crown, ensuring it will fit perfectly without feeling bulky.

We take precise digital impressions of your prepared tooth to create a crown that fits perfectly and aligns properly with your bite.

We place a temporary crown to protect your prepared tooth while your custom crown is being crafted in a dental laboratory.

When your permanent crown is ready, we remove the temporary and carefully check its fit, appearance, and bite.

The entire process typically requires two appointments over 1-2 weeks. As local resident Vanessa shares, “I was nervous about getting a crown on my front tooth, worried it would look fake. Dr. Ash took the time to match the color perfectly and shape it to complement my smile. Now it’s my strongest, most beautiful tooth—no one can tell it’s a crown!”

Crown Materials: Finding Your Perfect Match

At our Abbotsford dental practice, we offer several high-quality materials for dental crowns to meet your specific needs:

Dr. Ash reviews each material’s benefits, guiding you to the best option based on tooth location, bite, aesthetics, and budget.

After Your Crown Placement: What to Expect

Most people adapt quickly to their new dental crown. Here’s what our Abbotsford patients typically experience:

The day of placement: New crowns may cause temporary sensitivity to temperature and feel different as your mouth adjusts, especially after decay or prior dental work.
The first week: As you adjust to your crown, it should feel natural. Contact us for simple adjustments if you notice high spots when biting.
Long-term care: With proper care—brushing, flossing, avoiding force, using a nightguard, and regular check-ups—your crown can last 15 years or longer.

Common Questions About Dental Crowns Near You

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns typically last 15+ years, though many last much longer. Factors affecting longevity include oral hygiene practices, biting forces, material choice, and regular dental check-ups.

Will my crown look natural?

Absolutely! Modern dental materials and techniques allow us to create crowns that match your natural teeth in color, shape, and translucency. For front teeth especially, we take extra care to ensure your crown blends seamlessly with your smile.

Does getting a crown hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anesthetic, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout. After the anesthetic wears off, you might experience mild sensitivity, which typically resolves within a few days.

Can a crowned tooth still get a cavity?

Yes, while the crown itself cannot decay, the natural tooth structure at the margin where the crown meets the tooth remains susceptible to decay. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential to protect your investment.
