Dental Crowns Near You
There are a variety of reasons that can cause damage to your teeth, from accidents to poor oral hygiene. Dental crowns are custom-made caps that encase the entire surface of your teeth. These crowns are made to match the colour of your teeth to seamlessly blend into your smile. Not only do crowns look natural, but they can also enhance the appearance of your smile. Our practice is happy to offer dental crowns in SW Calgary to restore your smile. Contact us to schedule a consultation with our dentist in SW Calgary today.
A crown is also the visible tooth placed on top of dental implants.

The Process of Receiving Dental Crowns
Are you looking to receive dental crowns near you? If so, you will schedule a consultation with our dentist to determine if this is the right solution for your concerns. Afterward, we will shape your tooth and take a mould to create your custom-made crown. This mould is then sent to a lab for fabrication and can take up to a few weeks to create. We will schedule you a second appointment to come back and have your new crown permanently placed.
