Some seniors wonder, “Am I too old for a crown?” as dental needs change with age and health. The good news is that age alone doesn’t usually prevent someone from receiving a dental crown. Dentists assess several factors beyond age to support safe, effective treatment. This blog helps clarify those factors so patients can make confident decisions.

Dental crowns are widely used in restorative and cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance and function of teeth. They may help improve the function and appearance of teeth affected by chips, cracks, discolouration, or irregular shape. Many patients wonder, “Do crowns make your teeth look better?” While crowns can improve the function and appearance of damaged teeth, the extent of aesthetic improvement varies based on the dental condition.

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. While they’re often associated with adult dental care, they can also play an important role in preserving a child’s oral health. Parents are sometimes surprised to learn that this treatment may be recommended for children, especially if their child still has baby teeth.

Dental crowns are a common way to restore and protect teeth that have been damaged or weakened. A crown fits over your tooth like a protective cap, helping to bring back its natural strength, shape, and function. Dentists often recommend this option when a tooth has cracked, worn down, or needs extra support after a root canal procedure.

Investing in a dental crown is both a financial and personal commitment to your oral health and smile. Naturally, many patients wonder, “How can I make my crown last longer?” With proper care, most crowns last between 10 and 15 years or even more. This guide outlines practical, evidence-based strategies to help you protect your crown and extend its lifespan.

Many patients feel unsure or nervous about getting dental crowns, especially if it’s their first time. It’s completely valid to ask questions and want to understand risks. At our dental clinic, we believe informed patients feel more confident in their care. This guide was created to help you feel supported with reliable information to guide your dental care decisions.

Choosing between metal and porcelain crowns can feel overwhelming without the right information. It’s a common question in dental care: are metal crowns better than porcelain crowns?

Natural-looking front teeth play an important role in how confident we feel when smiling or speaking. Because these teeth are so visible, even small changes in shape or colour can affect your smile’s appearance.
