Protect and Restore Your Teeth With Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that strengthen and restore teeth damaged by decay, fractures, root canals, discolouration, or irregular shape. Each crown is individually crafted to match the colour, shape, and function of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and attractive smile. With proper care, a dental crown can easily last 15 years or longer.
Crowns are also commonly used to support dental bridges, cover dental implants, or enhance the appearance of teeth that are significantly worn or stained.
Restore your smile’s strength, function, and beauty with durable, natural-looking dental crowns!
The Dental Crown Treatment Process
Dental crown treatment typically involves two appointments. Here’s what you can expect at our Langley practice:
Examining and Preparing the Tooth
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive dental exam. We’ll carefully inspect and clean your tooth, removing decay or damage to ensure a precise fit for your crown. If you’re receiving a crown on a dental implant, we’ll take impressions of the implant and surrounding teeth.
Crafting Your Custom Crown
Next, we take an impression of your tooth or implant using high-quality dental materials. This impression helps our dental lab create a customized crown that perfectly matches your tooth’s shape, size, and colour. While your permanent crown is being crafted, you’ll wear a comfortable, temporary crown to protect your tooth.
Placing Your Permanent Crown
During your follow-up appointment, the temporary crown is removed and replaced with your custom-made permanent crown. It’s carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort, and permanently secured using strong dental cement or bonding agents. Your new crown will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing strength and beauty for many years to come.
Cost of Dental Crowns in Langley
The cost of dental crowns varies based on several factors, including your individual dental needs and insurance coverage.
With a typical insurance plan, the average out-of-pocket cost for a dental crown is approximately $200 to $600+. Without insurance, the cost generally ranges between $800 and $1,200+ per crown.
What Factors Influence the Cost of Dental Crowns?
The exact cost of your dental crown will depend on several factors, including the severity of tooth damage, location in your mouth, and the materials chosen for your crown. Specific factors include the complexity of the tooth restoration, the materials used (porcelain, zirconia, metal, etc.), your overall oral health, and any special procedures or equipment required.
Because every smile is unique, it’s important to have an in-person dental consultation and oral exam. After assessing your needs, we can provide an accurate estimate and discuss the best treatment options tailored specifically to you.
If you have dental insurance, we’ll gladly provide a detailed quote to submit to your provider, helping clarify your coverage and costs upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. Whether you need a crown after a root canal depends on the tooth’s location and function. Back teeth (molars and premolars) typically need crowns because they handle more chewing pressure. Front teeth (incisors or canines) may not always require one.
Crowns are generally recommended over fillings for teeth with significant decay or damage. They offer greater strength and durability, especially for teeth that handle heavy chewing pressure. Fillings may chip or loosen over time in teeth experiencing frequent stress, whereas crowns provide a long-lasting, stable solution.
Absolutely! Dental crowns are customized to match the colour, shape, and contour of your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
A dental post is a small support placed inside a tooth’s root after a root canal. It reinforces a tooth that doesn’t have enough healthy structure left to securely hold a crown. Posts are used only when needed to ensure the crown has proper support.
Getting a crown is generally a comfortable experience, similar to receiving a filling. We thoroughly numb the tooth and surrounding area to ensure the procedure is painless. You may experience minor sensitivity afterward, but this typically resolves quickly.
Dental crowns typically last 15 years or longer. With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, they can remain strong and functional for 25–30 years.
Taking care of a dental crown is simple. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and maintain routine dental cleanings and checkups. Proper care helps keep your crown looking great and functioning well for years to come.
