What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown (often called a “cap”) is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Think of it as a protective shell that restores your tooth’s natural shape, size, and strength while enhancing its appearance. Crowns are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth, making them an ideal solution for both front and back teeth.
Unlike fillings that repair a portion of a tooth, crowns encase the entire visible surface above the gum line, providing complete protection and restoration. This makes them the gold standard for saving teeth that might otherwise need extraction.

The Dental Crown Procedure: What To Expect
Getting a dental crown typically requires two appointments at our Winnipeg office, though same-day options may be available with CEREC technology in some cases.
We check your mouth and talk about your options. We take photos and x-rays.
- Local anesthetic administered for complete comfort
- Removal of decay and any old filling material
- Careful reshaping of the tooth to create proper room for the crown
- Digital scanning or traditional impression material used
- Captures precise measurements of the prepared tooth
- Records your bite relationship for proper crown design
- Shade selection to match your natural tooth color perfectly
You wear a temporary bridge while we make your permanent one.
We will remove the temporary crown and place a permanent cementation after you are completely satisfied with the fit and shade of tooth.
Most patients adjust to their new crown within a few days. You can return to normal eating and speaking immediately, though we recommend starting with softer foods for the first 24 hours.
