Learn How To Make Your Dental Crown Last

One of the things that’s really great about repairing or replacing teeth with crowns is that these dental caps can be cared for and treated just like your natural teeth. With proper care, a crown can last for many years. All you need to do is:

  • Brush your teeth twice a days using a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste
  • Floss between all of your chompers at least once a day
  • Maintain routine dental cleanings and exams every six months or less
  • Use a Canadian Dental Association approved mouthwash or rinse if desired or recommended

On top of the proper oral hygiene habits outlined above, you should also avoid doing various things so your crown is not damaged. Again, your crown will not need special treatment – these are pieces of advice that apply equally to your natural teeth. To protect your whole smile, including crowns, do NOT:

  • Chew ice
  • Bite down on hard candies or other hard foods
  • Bite or chew your fingernails
  • Use your teeth to open bottles or packages
  • Grind or clench your teeth

Because crowns from a dentist completely cap a tooth with a strong and beautiful tooth-colored shell, they are incredibly versatile restorative options. Here are just a few reasons why we might recommend getting a crown:

  • Protecting a tooth that is already cracked or otherwise damaged from getting worse
  • Strengthening a tooth that has become weakened from repeated dental treatments or some other cause
  • Fortifying a tooth following a root canal procedure
  • Restoring the proper shape of a tooth that is too damaged to be fixed with a tooth filling
  • Covering up severe stains or discoloration
  • Returning a tooth that is thoroughly worn-down to its former glory

If you need to get a tooth completely replaced, we can also attach a crown to a dental implant. We collaborate with a specialist who places dental implants using a special 3-D imaging process to ensure the procedure goes smoothly.
Regardless of why you get a crown from us, we will give you the option of getting one in a single appointment thanks to our CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) machine. This cutting-edge device can create your restoration quickly in-house so we won’t have to wait for a lab to create it.
We’ll also be able to design your crown using digital impressions, instead of having to use the messy and uncomfortable process of getting impressions using molding material.
Don’t wait to get your strong gorgeous set of teeth back – to visit Lakewood Dental Centre for a dental crown, call us at 204-977-8515. You can also book using our online form or swing by our Winnipeg, MB dentist office in person to schedule or ask questions.
