Dental Crowns and Bridges in Winnipeg
Missing or damaged teeth can affect more than just your smile; they can impact your confidence, speech, and ability to eat comfortably. At Kildonan Park Dental, we offer dental crowns and bridges to restore both the function and appearance of your teeth. Whether you need to repair a single tooth or replace several, our experienced team in Winnipeg, is here to help.
Located in Winnipeg, our clinic serves patients from across southern Manitoba, including Selkirk, St. Clements, St. Boniface, St. Vital, Fort Garry, Transcona, and River Heights. Many of our patients travel from other communities for the personalized care and long-lasting results we provide.
What Are Dental Crowns?
​
A dental crown is a special type of cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It is custom build to each patient, and it is designed to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage. Crowns are commonly used after root canals, to support large fillings, or to cover cracked or worn teeth.
At Kildonan Park Dental, we use high-quality materials to ensure your crown blends naturally with your surrounding teeth. Our goal is to provide you with a restoration that looks and feels just like your original tooth.
Types of Dental Crowns
We offer several types of crowns to suit different needs and preferences:
-
Porcelain Crowns: These are ideal for front teeth due to their natural appearance and ability to match your existing tooth colour.
-
Ceramic Crowns: Known for their durability and aesthetic appeal, ceramic crowns are a great choice for patients seeking a metal-free option.
-
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: These combine the strength of metal with the beauty of porcelain, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
-
Gold Crowns: Extremely durable and long-lasting, gold crowns are often used for molars where strength is a priority.
Our dentists will help you choose the best crown type based on your dental health, location of the tooth, and cosmetic goals.
What Are Dental Bridges?
​
A dental bridge serves to replace one or more missing teeth by securing artificial teeth to the neighbouring natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help restore your bite, prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
If you’re missing teeth, a bridge can be a reliable and long-lasting solution. Our team in Winnipeg customizes each bridge to ensure a comfortable fit and natural look.
Types of Dental Bridges
We offer several types of bridges depending on your dental needs:
-
Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type, using crowns on either side of the gap to support the replacement tooth.
-
Cantilever Bridges: These are used when there’s only one neighbouring tooth to support the bridge.
-
Maryland Bridges: These use a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth, often used for front teeth.
-
Implant-Supported Bridges: Ideal for patients missing multiple teeth, these bridges are anchored to dental implants for maximum stability.
Each type of dental bridge comes with its own benefits. We will work with you to determine the best option for your situation.
Do I Need a Crown or a Bridge?
​
The choice between a crown and a bridge will depend on your condition and dental needs. If you have a tooth that’s cracked, worn down, or weakened by decay, a crown can reinforce and protect it while restoring its natural shape and function. On the other hand, if you’re missing one or more teeth, a bridge may be the ideal solution to fill the gap, prevent shifting, and bring balance back to your bite.
Our team at Kildonan Park Dental takes a personalized approach to every treatment. During your consultation, we’ll carefully assess your oral health, listen to your concerns, and walk you through your options. Whether you need a single restoration or a more comprehensive solution, we’ll recommend a plan that fits your goals and helps you feel confident in your smile again.
