Porcelain Dental Crowns Calgary NW
What is a Dental Crown?
Dental Crowns are primarily manufactured teeth. Made from porcelain or zirconium, it can be coloured and texture-matched to your existing teeth. It can also be made of gold alloys for improved strength when replacing a back tooth, or it can have a metal base with porcelain bonded to the exterior to give it durability and a natural look.
How is a Dental Crown fitted?
The existing tooth which is damaged, weakened or fractured is repaired with a dental crown. Any decay is removed. The tooth is reshaped, and an impression is taken, which is sent to a dental laboratory to fabricate the crown. You will have a temporary crown while the lab tech works on the final crown. The crown fits like a cap over the newly shaped tooth and is cemented or bonded into position, thereby restoring the tooth structure.

What's New in Dental Crowns
Research published in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry has found that modern zirconia crowns continue to show strong long-term durability, with high survival rates over five or more years of clinical use. Zirconia's tooth-like appearance and resistance to chipping make it one of the most widely recommended materials for both front and back teeth. Dentists across Canada are increasingly favouring this material for patients who want a natural look combined with lasting strength.
Same-day crown technology using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) systems has been evaluated in multiple clinical reviews, including research summarized in the International Journal of Computerized Dentistry, showing that milled ceramic crowns can achieve fit and longevity comparable to traditionally made crowns. This means patients can have a damaged or decayed tooth fully restored in a single appointment, avoiding the need for a temporary crown and a second visit. For busy patients in cities like Calgary, this technology represents a meaningful improvement in convenience without sacrificing quality.
