What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that protects and restores damaged, cracked, or decayed teeth. Backed by Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, crowns are proven to:
- Save teeth from extraction.
- Prevent further decay or fractures.
- Restore chewing function and confidence.
- Match your natural teeth seamlessly.
Types of Dental Crowns: Which One is Right for You?
Not all crowns are created equal. At We Care Dental, we offer several types to match your needs, budget, and aesthetic goals:
Type | Durability | Aesthetics | Cost (CA Average) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Porcelain | 10-15 years | Excellent | $1,200-$1,500 | Front teeth, visible areas |
Zirconia | 15+ years | Natural | $1,200-$1,800 | Molars, high-stress areas |
Metal (Gold/Alloy) | 20+ years | Low | $800-$1,400 | Back teeth, durability focus |
Resin | 3-5 years | Moderate | $600-$900 | Temporary solutions |
During your consultation, Dr. Lardizabal will help you choose the best material based on your tooth’s location, bite pressure, and personal preferences.
