Dental Crowns and Bridges
A dental crown, often known as a cap, is a covering that is used to completely encapsulate a damaged tooth for either functional or aesthetic purposes. It can improve the form, alignment, and look of teeth in addition to fortifying a badly decaying tooth. Crowns are routinely used to reinforce teeth that have had root canal therapy because they might become brittle and fractured. They can also be used to treat big, irritating fillings, aging teeth, poor bite owing to prolonged grinding, and dental implant treatments to replace missing teeth.
A bridge, as opposed to a cap, replaces a missing tooth. It is secured, or “bridged,” between two existing teeth. You’ll be able to chew food without worrying about a gap or sensitive area.

Frequently Asked Questions
A dental crown is a long-lasting restorative treatment. That means you will have a crown for many years in your mouth. Certainly, you want to have it done in the most professional and skill full way. So, if possible, when considering types of dental crowns and cost, try not to go directly to the least expensive dentist in Abbotsford without analyzing your options. Weigh in all factors before deciding. Maybe it’s better to spend a bit more and be sure the results will be good and long-lasting by visiting your Allwood Dental dentists.
On average, dental crowns last between 10-20 years. The life span of a crown depends on the amount of “Wear and Tear” the crown is exposed to how well you follow good oral hygiene practices, and your mouth-related habits such as grinding or clenching your teeth, chewing ice, biting fingernails and using your teeth to open the packaging. As a general rule, gold crowns and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns (PFM) tend to last the longest. All ceramic crowns may look more natural, but they’re usually not as strong as the metal or PFM versions. All-resin crowns tend to wear down faster, too.
Preparing a tooth for a crown usually requires two visits to the dentist :
- The first step involves examining and preparing the tooth.
- The second visit involves placement of the permanent crown.
