Dental Crowns
What Are Dental Crowns?
Can Dental Crowns Help Me?
Dental crowns are primarily used to repair damaged teeth, but they can also have cosmetic benefits. They are most commonly used to address:
A broken or chipped tooth can be repaired with a custom crown. It will cover the entire tooth from the chewing surface to the gumline for excellent support.
In cases where cavities can't be treated with fillings, you may need a crown to protect the integrity of your tooth. Crowns are also commonly used to cover teeth after root canal therapy.
Uneven or discolored staining can make patients feel unhappy with their smile. If you have stains that won't respond to whitening, you can consider dental crowns.
Do you have a large metal filling that needs to be replaced? Is it too big to be replaced by a tooth-colored filling? A dental crown can provide support while achieving a better appearance.
Do you have one tooth that's a different size than all the others? Our dentist can make your smile look more uniform just by attaching a durable dental crown.
If you have lost a tooth or need an extraction, Dr. Robert Zboril can replace the tooth from the roots to the chewing surface with an implant-supported dental crown.
Crowns May Be the Answer When More Popular Solutions Are Not
/
Today, solutions like veneers and teeth whitening are practically household names, but they may not be right for you. If your tooth is severely misshapen, for example, a crown may be a better solution. Or if your tooth has deep intrinsic stains that whitening can't help, a crown can achieve an enhanced look. Dr. Zboril will only recommend the most effective and conservative solution to your needs.
Beyond Porcelain The Benefits of Ceramic and Zirconia
Our dentist places BruxZir® crowns, made from zirconia, and Empress® crowns, made from glass ceramic. For many years, porcelain crowns have been the most common solution for those who want durability and a natural appearance, but these premium materials surpass porcelain in both respects.
In fact, zirconia is the strongest material used in restorative dentistry. It can also be made to look incredibly realistic.
Meanwhile, Empress crowns can be made to look indistinguishable from natural teeth, and are far stronger than porcelain. However, if you prefer porcelain, we can use that material. Our dentist is happy to help determine which type of crown best suits your needs and goals when you visit our Victoria dentistry practice.
A Natural-Looking and Long-Lasting Solution
Dr. Zboril can restore functionality to your teeth and boost your confidence with a natural-looking, durable dental crown. If you are suffering with a compromised tooth, visit our Victoria office. From your initial consultation to your temporary crown and your permanent restoration, you can expect excellent care every step of the way.

Overall a fantastic experience from start to finish! The environment is super clean, comfortable, and every staff member is very nice! I was anxious about going to a new dentist, but after the professionalism of Dr. Zboril and his staff, I confidently have chosen a new dentist, and won’t keep driving “back home,” to see the dentist I’ve had the last 7 years.

You're a partner at our office. Under our care, we will make sure you know what to expect every step of the way. Although every treatment plan is different, these are the general steps you can expect your treatment to follow:
From protection after a root canal to brightening up your smile, dental crowns have a wide range of uses.
If you are replacing a lost tooth with a dental implant-supported crown, you will need to wait three to six months after implant placement surgery before you can receive your permanent crown. During that time, the implant will become fused to the jawbone. We can provide a temporary crown to wear while you heal.

"Being 68 I have been to a lot [of] dentist[s]...I have to say I have never been to a dentist like Dr. Zboril. He and his entire staff are amazingly coordinated and pleasant to be around. Dr. Zboril does not push anything on his patients. He is informative when speaking of options. His statement to me was that he works by my timing and my budget. I would advise anyone to go to him."
