6 Benefits of Dental Crowns
A dental crown placed by the dentists at Enlighten Dental can do much more than restore your smile's appearance. A dental crown can:
Improve Oral Health and Overall Wellness
A dental crown can restore oral functions like chewing and biting, so you can eat a healthier diet. This can improve your body's overall health. The connection between oral health and general wellness is a basic tenet of our holistic approach to dentistry.
Save Damaged Teeth from Extraction
A crown crafted from high-quality dental porcelain can reinforce a tooth compromised by decay or fractured by trauma. This prevents the need for tooth extraction.
Protect an Infected Tooth
A tooth treated for a bacterial infection in its root canal can be capped by a strong, lifelike dental crown. A crown placed after root canal therapy protects the tooth, and possibly your body, from future infections.Replace Missing Teeth
Dental crowns firmly supported by zirconia dental implants anchored into your jaw can fill gaps caused by missing teeth. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots that encourage healthy jawbone growth. All implant procedure steps can be performed at Enlighten Dental.
Be a Long-Lasting Investment
With proper brushing and flossing, a crown crafted from dental-grade porcelain can protect a damaged tooth for well over a decade.
Be Covered by Insurance
Most dental insurance plans will cover a portion of your dental crown cost. Our staff will help you get the maximum coverage possible if you have insurance. Enlighten Dental also offers flexible payment options to make out-of-pocket costs more manageable.
We Can Create Your Dental Crown in One Visit
Enlighten Dental is proud to offer CEREC ® same-day dental crown technology at our Vancouver, BC, practice. Depending on your individual case, your dentist may be able to design, create, and place your customized, permanent crown in about an hour. This time-saving dentistry procedure makes it possible for you to walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a beautiful dental crown.
The procedure is as follows:
Advantages of CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns
Same-day dental crown technology saves you from having to wear a temporary crown while your permanent restoration is being crafted by an outside lab. That process can take a few weeks and add to the cost of your dental crown procedure. Plus, temporary crowns can break or come loose without proper care.
Another advantage is that you will not have to come back to our Vancouver, BC, practice to have your temporary crown removed and replaced by your permanent restoration. This saves you time and the hassle of making a second appointment.
Please know that our patients with multiple damaged teeth may need their dental crowns crafted by a trusted outside lab.

How Holistic Approach Benefits Our Patients
The holistic approach is based on the idea that oral health is strongly connected to overall health. Therefore, our Vancouver practice uses certain techniques during dental crown placement and other dental procedures that help emphasize total patient wellness.
Ozone Therapy
Our dentists use ozone, a safe, negatively-charged molecule made of oxygen atoms, to kill oral bacteria. This can prevent decay and stop dangerous microorganisms from entering your bloodstream during procedures. Ozone also promotes healing.
Biocompatible Materials
Our crowns, implants, and fillings are completely metal-free. In fact, our dentists can safely replace old fillings containing toxic metals with tooth-colored composite ones if a crown is not needed. This can prevent allergic reactions to metal or toxins from entering your body.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin
Also called PRF, platelet-rich fibrin treatment uses a centrifuge to isolate plasma from your own body. PRF can speed up healing after surgical procedures. This is helpful when performing dental implant placement and the removal of wisdom teeth.
Your Wellness Is Our Main Priority
Our practice conducts material biocompatibility testing to ensure that none of our patients are sensitive or allergic to any dental materials.
