Our skilled dental team can provide esthetically attractive outcomes while returning function to your tooth.

Dental crowns are fixed caps covering damaged or decayed teeth to restore strength and beauty. They are an ideal option when bonding or composite fillings are not sufficient. Dental crowns can also preserve a tooth after root canal therapy or restore a permanent dental implant.
A dental bridge is an excellent option if you have lost a tooth but are not ready for a dental implant. These crowns span the gap left after a tooth is lost or extracted. Our dental team will take impressions of the area to ensure a comfortable and seamless fit. Experienced technicians at our partner dental lab will then handcraft your restoration.

What is a dental crown?
Dental crowns are used for various reasons, such as when a tooth has an extensive filling that exceeds the natural tooth structure, when a tooth has undergone root canal therapy, or for cosmetic purposes.
There are different applications for dental crowns. Firstly, they can be installed over a damaged tooth to cap the existing structure, restoring the tooth to its normal function. Secondly, crowns can be attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth. In this procedure, the implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone and serves as the root for the tooth, which keeps the crown steady and secure.
Additionally, dental crowns can also provide extra support for dental bridges. They do not require special treatment and can be brushed and flossed normally.

What is a dental bridge?
Dental bridges are a popular solution for replacing missing teeth. As the name suggests, they consist of one or more replacement teeth that bridge the gap created by the missing teeth. Abutment crowns can be placed on each end to secure the bridge, or precision metal mechanisms can be permanently installed. At Barrhaven Dental Studio, we take pride in custom-designing each component of a dental bridge to ensure that it looks natural and functions optimally.

How do temporary dental crowns work?
Dentists commonly use dental crowns to cover damaged or decayed teeth. Placing a dental crown involves taking an impression of your upper and lower dental arches to create a replica of your teeth. This replica will build a permanent crown that will fit securely on the base of the tooth being crowned without allowing bacteria to enter underneath the tooth structure.
Usually, when you need a dental crown, your dentist will take an impression of your tooth and send it to a dental laboratory for the permanent crown to be made. However, to ensure the impression is accurate, your dentist may need to modify the tooth base beneath it. This can leave your tooth vulnerable between the impression being taken and the permanent crown being fitted. To prevent any damage to your tooth during this period, your dentist will fit a temporary crown.
