Dental Crowns
Protect Your Teeth With A Dental Crown
A porcelain dental crown is a custom-designed cap that is attached to the surface of a damaged or weakened tooth.
Unlike a filling or inlay, a crown provides more comprehensive support and protects the natural tooth from further deterioration.

"For patients who are missing teeth, a porcelain crown can also top a dental implant to fill the gap in your smile." Dr. Berbari
What Kinds of Problems Can a Crown Fix?
Dental crowns are often the last step in a root canal procedure to remove bacteria that causes tooth deterioration. After the tooth is cleaned out and sterilized, the dentist tops it with a durable dental crown to prevent further damage and decay.
Often times a large crack or break can compromise the integrity of a natural tooth. A crown will fortify the weakened structure to save your natural tooth, and repair visible imperfections that result from trauma.
Erroded or misshapen teeth can disrupt the natural balance of your bite and lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. A dental crown is designed to make your upper and lower teeth to meet comfortably and balance the pressure of your bite.
For patients who are missing teeth, a porcelain crown can also top a dental implant to fill the gap in your smile. The dentist surgically places a titanium implant in the gap of your missing tooth to secure your dental crown and replace the tooth roots.
Dental Crown and Bridge Placement
Dental crowns and bridges by Montreal Smiles are crafted to look natural while providing excellent support. A dental crown covers and protects a single compromised tooth. A dental bridge covers two teeth and holds replacement teeth in the middle to replace a missing tooth.

The Advantages of CEREC and CAD/CAM in Restorative Dentistry
Montreal Smiles is equipped with top-of-the-line dental technology such as the CEREC® same-day restorations system. While the most important advantage of CEREC is the reduced treatment time, there are several additional benefits...
Improved Accuracy
CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology is a highly precise system. First, an intra-oral scanner creates a 3-D representation of your teeth using different wavelengths to capture their exact dimensions. These impressions are immediately sent to our chair-side monitor where the dentist designs your crown with maximum accuracy.
Increased Comfort
Unlike traditional impressions, our intra-oral scanner does not require messy gels or uncomfortable trays. The device resembles a small wand that captures images of your teeth and their surrounding structures within seconds.
Better Protection
In a traditional procedure, patients would wear a temporary crown for a few weeks while an off-site dental lab manufactured their permanent restoration. Temporary crowns are flimsy, leaving your tooth vulnerable to damage. CEREC allows us to place your permanent crown at the same appointment, protecting the structure immediately.

A Closer Look at Implant-Supported Crown Treatment
When a patient has suffered tooth loss, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate because it is no longer receiving stimulation from the tooth's roots. Dental implants are the only form of restorative dentistry that can prevent bone recession while replacing your tooth.
Implants are embedded in the jaw and fuse with the bone over the course of several months. They are permanently fixed in place and offer a life-long foundation for your dental crown. While implant treatment is more extensive and involves surgical procedures, it is undoubtedly the most secure and beneficial way to correct tooth loss.
