Dental Crowns: Restoring Strength and Function

Dental Exam

Protect and Preserve

A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its original size, shape, and strength. At Ethos Dental Studio, we focus on dental crowns on teeth as a vital restorative service to prevent further decay and save your natural tooth from extraction.

The Restoration Process

When a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, or weakened by a root canal, a crown provides the necessary reinforcement to handle the pressure of everyday chewing. Unlike cosmetic veneers, restorative dental crowns on teeth cover the entire visible portion above the gum line to ensure structural integrity.

What to Expect: The Crown Process

         Benefits

Restoring your smile usually takes two comfortable visits to our studio:


Preparation: We gently reshape the tooth to ensure a perfect fit for the crown and take a digital or physical impression.

Temporary Care: You will receive a temporary crown to protect your tooth while your custom restoration is crafted.

Final Placement: Once ready, we bond the permanent crown, ensuring your bite is aligned and the fit is seamless.

Understanding Dental Crows  Costs

In British Columbia, dental charges for crowns typically range from $1,200 to $1,900 per tooth depending on the material used, such as porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia. Restorative crowns are often essential for oral health, and our team is here to help you navigate your insurance benefits—which often cover up to 50% for major restorative treatments—to maximize your coverage.
