Why Dental Crowns Are Essential for Your Smile
At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we understand the importance of a confident smile. Dental crowns offer a reliable solution to restore damaged or decayed teeth while maintaining a natural appearance. Whether your tooth has suffered from trauma, decay, or a root canal, dental crowns provide strength, durability, and aesthetics.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that are placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. They restore the tooth’s original shape, size, and function while protecting it from further damage. At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, our team uses modern materials and advanced techniques to ensure your dental crowns look and feel just like your natural teeth.
When Do You Need Dental Crowns?
There are several situations where dental crowns are recommended:
- A tooth with a large filling and not much natural tooth left
- A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
- Cracked, chipped, or severely worn-down teeth
- Cosmetic enhancements to improve tooth shape or color
In all these cases, dental crowns serve as a restorative and cosmetic solution.

The Dental Crown Process
Step 1: Consultation and Examination
Our expert team will examine your teeth and determine whether dental crowns are the right option. We take digital impressions and prepare your tooth for the crown.
Step 2: Custom Crown Creation
We send your impressions to a dental lab to create a custom dental crown. You’ll receive a temporary crown to protect your tooth in the meantime.
Step 3: Final Placement
Once your permanent dental crown is ready, we carefully place and bond it. We ensure the fit is perfect and that it aligns naturally with your bite.
