Bridges & Crowns 
in Winnipeg

Are you in need of dental crowns in Winnipeg Manitoba? Our Winnipeg dental team can help restore your smile if you need to cover up teeth that are damaged, cracked, or broken. Many patients wish they could cap those teeth that are misshapen and broken after years of use. The good news is that there’s never been a better time to do just that!

First, the tooth that is going to receive the dental crown or dental bridge is reduced in size so that the dental crown or bridge can fit perfectly over the top of it. Then, since we have the latest and most sophisticated equipment (called an intraoral digital scanner), we will scan your tooth structure without the use of impression material in your mouth. This makes the appointment a lot more comfortable for our patients, less time consuming, and accomplishes a more accurate outcome. The digital scan file will be sent to our dental laboratory which will then prepare the final product in just a few days. While you wait for the lab to fabricate your permanent dental crown or dental bridge, we will provide you with a temporary crown or bridge to prevent damage to the natural tooth. The temporary crown or bridge is cemented with temporary cement, and then removed when the permanent crown comes back from the lab, at which point the permanent crown is cemented to the tooth using a much stronger Dental cement.

Rarely, but when absolutely necessary, or requested by the patient, we can still take a traditional impression (mould) of your teeth with impression material, and proceed to make your crown or bridge that way.

Our dental crowns are made to emulate the form and function of natural teeth. With proper care and service, your dental crowns can last 15 years or longer. The lifespan of a dental crown depends on a number of factors, from where it’s placed in your mouth,to the strength of your bite, or if you glind and/or clench, to how well you take care of your teeth.

Just like your natural teeth, you will need to maintain the same good care for your dental crowns and dental bridges to ensure they function properly. Brushing, flossing and coming in for regular cleanings and check-ups are a must. Don't forget to schedule an appointment!
