Dental Crowns

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. At Redwater Dental Clinic, we offer high-quality crowns that restore both the function and appearance of your teeth, including same-day crown options using advanced digital milling technology.

When You May Need a Crown

• After a root canal to protect the treated tooth
• To restore a severely decayed or damaged tooth
• To strengthen a cracked or weakened tooth
• To cover a dental implant
• To improve the appearance of a misshapen tooth
• To support a dental bridge

The Crown Process

We offer both traditional and same-day crown options:

1. Comprehensive examination and digital imaging
2. Tooth preparation and precise digital impressions
3. Custom crown fabrication (same-day with digital milling or lab-made)
4. Careful fitting and bite adjustment
5. Permanent bonding for a secure, comfortable fit

Our same-day crown technology means you can often get your permanent crown in a single visit — no temporary crown or second appointment needed.

Duration & Recovery

With our same-day digital milling technology, your crown can be designed, milled, and placed in a single visit of about two hours. Traditional lab-made crowns require two visits spaced two to three weeks apart. Recovery is minimal — you can eat and drink normally once the numbness wears off. With proper care and regular checkups, dental crowns last 10 to 15 years or longer.

Cost & Insurance

Dental crown costs vary based on the material used (porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal) and whether additional treatment like a root canal is needed. At Redwater Dental Clinic, we'll explain all your options and provide a clear estimate before starting treatment.

• We direct bill most major insurance providers — crowns are typically covered under major dental benefits
• Same-day crowns available, saving you a second visit
• Flexible payment options for patients without full coverage
• CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan) accepted
