Worried a Dental Crown Will Feel or Look Off?
Discover how Ross Creek Dental crafts custom crowns designed for precise fit, natural aesthetics, and total comfort.
Get Your Smile—and Confidence—Back with Custom Dental Crowns
Life is full of unexpected dental challenges: a cracked molar from a missed popcorn kernel, a deep filling finally failing, or a tooth that just can't keep up with your grind. If you're experiencing tooth damage or need post-root canal restoration, dental crowns can give your smile a fresh start.
At Ross Creek Dental, we help Fort Saskatchewan professionals like you get back to their routines with durable, natural-looking crowns that fit perfectly—because no one has time for discomfort, mismatched teeth, or avoidable follow-ups.
What Is a Dental Crown and When Is It Needed?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. It’s commonly recommended for:
- Strengthening a weakened or cracked tooth
- Protecting a tooth after a root canal
- Replacing large, worn fillings
- Restoring the shape and look of worn-down or discoloured teeth
- Securing a dental bridge in place
Dental crowns aren’t just cosmetic—they’re essential for maintaining dental health and long-term function.
Why Choose Ross Creek Dental for Dental Crowns?
Many parents wonder when to bring their child for their first dental visit and how often they should go.
1. A Natural Look You Can Feel Confident About
Your crown should look like it belongs. Our team uses digital shade matching and natural tooth contours to ensure your restoration is visually seamless with surrounding teeth—no grey lines or overly white “fake” look.
2. Precision-Fit for Long-Term Comfort
Fit matters just as much as appearance. Poorly fitted crowns can lead to bite issues, jaw tension, or chronic discomfort. We use digital imaging and intraoral scanning to design crowns that feel natural from day one.
3. Transparent Pricing with No Guesswork
We walk you through your treatment options and exact pricing—before you commit. Whether it’s material choices, insurance estimates, or payment plans, we believe in keeping costs predictable and pressure-free.
4. Advanced Materials with Proven Longevity
We only use high-grade porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic materials, carefully selected based on your needs. These materials are biocompatible, stain-resistant, and built to last—without sacrificing comfort.
Our Dental Crown Process: What to Expect
Step 1: Consultation and Diagnosis
We start with a complete dental exam, including x-rays and bite analysis, to determine whether a crown is the right solution—and what type will work best.
Step 2: Digital Impressions and Tooth Prep
If a crown is needed, we’ll reshape the tooth to make room for the restoration. Then, we take digital impressions (no goopy trays) to ensure the crown fits precisely.
Step 3: Temporary Crown Placement
You’ll leave your first appointment with a temporary crown that protects your tooth while the permanent version is made in our trusted lab.
Step 4: Permanent Crown Placement
At your follow-up appointment, we remove the temporary crown and bond the final crown in place. Minor adjustments are made to ensure a flawless fit and comfortable bite.
Crown Materials We Offer
We’ll help you choose the right material based on location, aesthetics, and function:

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
With proper care, crowns typically last 10 to 15 years, and often longer. Their longevity depends on:
- Your oral hygiene routine
- Regular dental check-ups
- Avoiding hard or sticky foods
- Managing clenching or grinding with a nightguard if needed
We’ll give you a personalized plan to protect your investment and avoid premature repairs.
What About Sensitivity After Placement?
Some sensitivity is completely normal in the days following crown placement, especially with temperature changes or chewing. However, at Ross Creek Dental, we minimize this risk by:
- Using gentle prep techniques
- Ensuring proper bite alignment
- Offering post-procedure care guidance for symptom relief
If sensitivity lingers beyond a few weeks, our team is available for timely adjustments and follow-up care.

The average cost of a crown in Alberta ranges from $900 to $1,500 per tooth, depending on materials used and complexity. At Ross Creek Dental, we provide:
- Transparent quotes before treatment
- Assistance with insurance pre-approvals

We’ll help you make an informed choice without surprises.
How Do Crowns Compare to Other Restorations?

Treatment | Strength | Aesthetics | Duration | Best For |
Dental Crown | High | Natural | 10–15+ years | Cracks, deep fillings, RCT |
Dental Filling | Medium | Moderate | 5–10 years | Small cavities |
