Dental Crowns
Do you have a broken or fractured tooth, or are you self-conscious from discolouration of a particular tooth? Then dental crowns may be the answer. At Bronstein Family Dental in Winnipeg, we often recommend dental crowns in these cases. Dental crowns, popularly known as “caps,” can restore the strength and enhance the appearance of cracked or discoloured teeth. Sometimes even a root canal or an extensive filling in the tooth may make the tooth weak and vulnerable to damage; dental crowns can help in these scenarios as well. Protecting the teeth and making them functional, crowns blend with the other teeth and exude a natural look and feel. Get in touch.
Children who do not maintain their oral hygiene are also at risk of tooth decay. At our clinic in Winnipeg, we also offer dental crowns and other dentistry’s service for children to save their teeth that are eroded from decay and cannot sustain a filing. In certain instances, our dentist will recommend using a stainless steel crown for children based on their age and medical history.
Dental crowns can be made using a variety of different materials. Let us take a look:
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are ideally recommended after a root canal treatment. Your dentist can restore the functionality of your teeth with the help of this crown. Such crowns are durable and strong. It can help your teeth from further damage.
Metal Crowns
There are many different kinds of metals used in making dental crowns. Owing to their longevity, they can withstand tough bites and do not break or chip easily. Their only drawback is their metallic colour.
All Resin Crowns
Dental crowns made from resin are less expensive and more affordable. However, after some time, they tend to break and wear down.
A dental crown is needed in several cases, such as:

A significant part of restorative dentistry, dental crowns are perfect for replacing a single tooth at a time. Completely covering the tooth’s damage, crowns prevent further tooth decay and promote extra support and durability. It is also an alternative for tooth extraction.

While chewing food with damaged teeth, extra pressure and further damage is being inflicted on the teeth.
