Protect and Strengthen Damaged Teeth

When a tooth is weakened, cracked, or severely worn down, a dental crown can restore its strength, function, and appearance. At East Van Family Dental, we provide custom-made crowns that are durable, natural-looking, and tailored to fit comfortably in your mouth. A crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a damaged tooth to protect it and restore its original size and shape. It fully encases the visible part of the tooth above the gumline, offering support and preventing further damage.

When Do You Need a Crown?

Crowns are often recommended in cases such as:

• Cracked or broken teeth
• Large fillings that weaken the tooth structure
• After a root canal treatment
• Severely worn down or misshapen teeth
• To cover a dental implant or anchor a bridge

If you’re experiencing pain when chewing, tooth sensitivity, or have visible cracks or chips, a crown might be the ideal solution.

What to Expect

Getting a dental crown usually involves two visits. During the first visit, we prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damaged material and shaping it to fit the crown. We then take impressions of your tooth, which are sent to a dental lab to create your custom crown. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth. At your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown and place the permanent one, ensuring a perfect fit and natural look. We make any necessary adjustments so the crown feels just right in your bite. Our crowns are made from high-quality materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, all chosen for their strength, durability, and lifelike appearance.

Natural Look, Long-Lasting Protection

At East Van Family Dental, we focus on both form and function. We want your crown to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and feel comfortable from day one. With proper care and regular dental checkups, a crown can last many years and help preserve your tooth long-term.
