Dental Crowns in Yaletown

A dental crown is one of the most versatile and reliable restorations in dentistry. At Expo Yaletown, Dr. Cornel Gabor places custom-made crowns that restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged or compromised teeth — all in-house at 903 Expo Boulevard.

What Is a Dental Crown?

Full Coverage Protection for a Damaged Tooth A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that fits over the entire visible surface of a tooth above the gum line. It restores the tooth to its original shape, size, and function while protecting it from further damage. Crowns are made from durable materials designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth and withstand the full forces of everyday chewing.

When Is a Crown Necessary? Crowns are one of the most commonly recommended restorations in general and restorative dentistry. You may need a crown if you have:

  • A tooth that is severely decayed and cannot be restored with a filling alone
  • A cracked or fractured tooth that is at risk of breaking further
  • A tooth that has been weakened following a root canal treatment
  • A broken or badly worn-down tooth
  • A large old filling that has failed and needs replacing
  • A dental implant that requires a crown to complete the restoration
  • A tooth that needs reshaping for cosmetic reasons as part of a smile makeover

What to Expect During Your Crown Treatment

A Straightforward Process Completed Over Two Appointments Getting a crown at Expo Yaletown typically takes two appointments:

  • Appointment 1 — The tooth is assessed, prepared, and shaped. Digital impressions are taken and a temporary crown is fitted to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being made
  • Between appointments — Your custom crown is crafted in a dental laboratory to precise specifications
  • Appointment 2 — The temporary crown is removed, your permanent crown is checked for fit, bite, and colour, then bonded permanently in place

 

The entire process is carried out under local anaesthetic for your comfort, and most patients find it straightforward from start to finish.
