A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.
At Gateway Dental , we prioritize affordable, high-quality dental crowns and restorative treatments. Our commitment to your care ensures a personalized experience that meets your needs. And with a range of crown options available, we cater to everyone.
The team here is fantastic! I had a front incisor chip right in the middle from an old injury and you may imagine it turned heads in ways no one wants. They got in me in straight away where Dr. Kim Winton and her team were top notch. Even when the initial crown came back as a less-than-perfect match they worked overtime to see that I had a crown that would blend in with my other teeth perfectly. It really underlines the quality of an office to perform so well when things didn't go the way they were intended initially.
I very much appreciated the front desk team's patience and flexibility in working with me for my initial consultation. They were completely understanding about how I did not desire X-rays or a prophylactic cleaning for my initial consultation because I'd already had those procedures done recently. I also appreciated being made aware of the parking options in the nearby neighborhood. As for the services provided by the healthcare team, I was more than satisfied: the dynamic duo of clinician and dental assistant was wondrous, and I was put at ease very quickly. They were more than respectful of the fact that I was there primarily to obtain cost estimates for certain services that I was considering such as Reveal® clear aligners (one of only three providers of this brand in the city, as of the time of writing) and teeth whitening, and they abstained from the kind of upselling you see at a number of dental practices. These were some of the most affordable costs I've seen in my experience shopping around practices and comparing services - I'm inclined to make Gateway Dental my primary care dentist!
Highly Recommended Dental Office. Great Professional staffing. Good Location. Dental treatment was performed same-day as cleaning. Very pleased with experience. Thank you Gateway Dental !!!
