Dental crowns are a popular dental treatment that offers both restorative and cosmetic benefits. When a tooth is damaged, decayed, or aesthetically unpleasing, a dental crown can be the perfect solution. These tooth-shaped "caps" are placed over the affected tooth, fully encasing the visible portion above the gum line. Dental crowns are custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, providing a seamless, natural-looking finish. At Red Rock Dental, Dr. Dallin Kay and Dr. Matt Gibb utilize their extensive experience and advanced technology to deliver high-quality dental crowns to the residents of Medicine Hat, Alberta.

Why Should I Get Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a versatile treatment option that can address a variety of dental issues. If you have a tooth that is severely decayed, broken, or cracked, a dental crown can restore its function and appearance. Dental crowns can also be used to hold a dental bridge in place, cover a dental implant, or improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth. Furthermore, dental crowns can provide a protective barrier, preventing further damage or decay. With the help of Dr. Kay and Dr. Gibb at Red Rock Dental, you can achieve a healthier, more beautiful smile with dental crowns.

The Benefits Of Dental Crowns
Improved Aesthetics
Dental crowns can significantly improve the appearance of your smile. Whether you have a discolored, chipped, or misshapen tooth, a dental crown can be designed to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. This ensures a seamless, natural-looking result that can boost your confidence and make you feel great about your smile.
Enhanced Functionality
A damaged or decayed tooth can make it difficult to perform everyday tasks like eating and speaking. With a dental crown, the functionality of your tooth can be fully restored. Dental crowns are designed to withstand the pressures of biting and chewing, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort or difficulty.
Long-lasting Solution
Dental crowns are a durable and long-lasting solution for damaged or decayed teeth. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last for many years. This makes dental crowns a cost-effective treatment option, providing long-term value for your investment.
The Dental Crown Treatment Process
Examination and Preparation
The first step in the dental crown process is a thorough examination of your oral health. Dr. Kay or Dr. Gibb will evaluate the condition of your tooth and determine if a dental crown is the right solution for you. If a crown is recommended, your tooth will be prepared by removing any decay and reshaping the tooth to accommodate the crown.
Impressions and Crown Creation
Once your tooth is prepared, an impression will be taken. This impression will be used to create a dental crown that perfectly fits your tooth and matches your natural teeth. At Red Rock Dental, we use high-quality materials to ensure your crown is durable and aesthetically pleasing.
Crown Placement
The final step in the dental crown process is the placement of the crown. Once your custom crown is ready, it will be checked for fit and color match. If everything is satisfactory, the crown will be permanently cemented in place, fully restoring the function and appearance of your tooth.
