What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that help improve the strength and appearance of damaged teeth. Crowns are also used to enhance the look of discoloured or misshapen teeth, helping preserve your smile for years to come.
A dental crown fully encases the visible portion of the tooth above the gumline. It is custom-made to fit securely and blend with neighbouring teeth. Crowns are used in a range of clinical situations and aim to preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.
Common reasons a dental crown may be recommended include:
-
Severe decay where a filling is insufficient.
-
A cracked or fractured tooth.
-
A tooth weakened after root canal therapy.
-
Significant wear from grinding.
-
Replacement of old or failing restorations.
-
Restoring a dental implant.

What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic solution that replaces one or more missing teeth. Anchored by neighbouring crowns or implants, a bridge fills the gap with a lifelike artificial tooth. Types of dental bridges we offer include the following:
Traditional Bridges
Ideal for gaps between healthy, natural teeth.
Implant-supported Bridges
Best for multiple missing teeth or when natural teeth can’t support a bridge.
Resin-bonded Bridges
Commonly used for missing front teeth.
Cantilever Bridges
Used when there's support on only one side of the gap.
Caring for Dental Crowns
Good oral hygiene remains essential after receiving a dental crown. Proper care helps support long-term success and reduces the risk of complications.
Recommended care includes:
-
Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
-
Flossing around the crown to protect the gumline.
-
Attending scheduled dental examinations.
-
Using a nightguard if grinding or clenching is present.
-
Avoid chewing hard substances that may cause fractures.
Dental crowns depend on can function for several years when maintained consistently.
What to Expect During a Bridge Procedure
While treatment plans vary, a typical bridge procedure involves the following:
-
A detailed oral examination.
-
X-rays and digital measurements.
-
Custom bridge preparation and fitting.
You’ll leave with a smile that looks great and feels natural.
When a Dental Crown May Require Attention
Over time, normal wear or changes in the tooth structure may necessitate the repair or replacement of a crown.
Signs that warrant evaluation include:
-
Sensitivity around the crown area.
-
Visible chips or cracks.
-
Loosening or shifting during chewing.
-
Recession exposing the crown margin.
If any of these signs appear, Pristine Dental Group aims to assess dental crowns in Winnipeg and determine the most appropriate next steps.
