Book a Dental Crowns Consultation in Sherwood Park for clear answers, transparent pricing, and a plan built around your bite, timeline, and comfort.
A dental crown is only as good as the plan behind it. If the evaluation is rushed or incomplete, even a premium crown can feel “off,” look mismatched, or fail early. Your Dental Crowns Consultation at Granada Dental is designed to slow things down and get it right. We look at more than the tooth: bite alignment, gum health, material choice, and your schedule all influence the outcome.
By the end of your visit, you’ll have:
A diagnosis you understand
A custom treatment plan (including alternatives)
Insurance and fee clarity so there are no surprises
A realistic timeline that respects your calendar
What You’ll Get in a Granada Dental Crowns Consultation
We keep the process simple, thorough, and conversation-driven.
1) Comprehensive Assessment
Digital X-rays and intraoral imaging to evaluate cracks, fractures, and previous restorations
Periodontal review to ensure healthy tissue around the tooth
Occlusion/bite check so your crown functions smoothly with natural jaw movement
2) Options, Not Just Crowns
Sometimes a crown is ideal. Sometimes a filling, onlay, veneer, or bonding is smarter. We’ll cover pros, cons, expected longevity, and cost for each so you can choose confidently.
3) Material Guidance for Strength and Aesthetics
We match material to location and lifestyle:
Zirconia for high-pressure molars and grinders
Porcelain / porcelain-fused options for a natural look in the smile zone
Metal blends in select cases where durability is the top priority
4) Insurance & Cost Clarity
We review your plan, estimate out-of-pocket costs, and outline direct billing so you aren’t guessing. You’ll leave with a written estimate and a plan that fits your budget.
5) Timeline and Next Steps
We map out visit one (prep + temporary crown) and visit two (fit + bond), with guidance on chewing and sensitivity during the interim. If you’re on a tight schedule, we discuss ways to minimize disruption.
The Pain Points People Ask About (and How We Address Them)
“What will this really cost?”
We provide clear estimates before you start, explain what your insurer typically covers, and outline payment options if you prefer to phase treatment. We’re committed to no-surprise billing and direct insurance billing wherever possible.
“I’ve had a crown that never felt right.”
Poor fit is more than annoying—it can lead to bite pain, jaw soreness, gum irritation, or chipped porcelain. Our process uses digital scans and precise bite mapping to design a crown that matches your unique occlusion. At placement, we take the time to adjust contact points until chewing feels natural.
“How long will it last?”
Crown longevity depends on materials, preparation quality, hygiene, and habits like clenching or grinding. We choose material for your risk profile, coach you on home care, and may recommend a custom night guard if you grind. Our goal is to maximize years, not just complete a procedure.
“How many appointments do I need?”
Most treatments take two visits: preparation and placement. Your consultation sets clear expectations for timing, any interim restrictions with a temporary crown, and the follow-up you can expect from our team.
“Will it look natural?”
For visible teeth, we prioritize shade matching, translucency, and contour so your crown blends into your smile. We communicate with the lab using photos and notes from your consultation to align on color and shape.
When a Crown Is the Right Choice
A crown protects and restores teeth that are too compromised for fillings. Common reasons include:
After a root canal to reinforce a weakened tooth
Cracked or fractured teeth from trauma or grinding
Large or failing fillings that leave thin walls at risk
Worn-down teeth from clenching/bruxism
Cosmetic rebuilding for discolored or misshapen teeth
Replacement of old crowns that are loose, discolored, or leaking
If we can solve your problem with a more conservative option, we’ll say so. If a crown is truly the best path, we’ll show you why.

Follow-Up
Most patients return to normal chewing within a day. Minor sensitivity usually fades quickly. We book a short follow-up if adjustments are needed—comfort is the goal.
A Note on Sensitivity and Comfort
It’s common to experience mild temperature sensitivity or pressure tenderness right after placement, especially if the tooth had deep decay or a large previous filling. We’ll walk you through what’s expected, when to call, and quick fixes for typical issues. If a high spot is causing bite discomfort, we’ll smooth it—it’s a simple adjustment that makes a big difference.

Tell us about your schedule. We’ll map appointments to minimize disruption.
These steps make your Dental Crowns Consultation efficient, informative, and tailored.
Home Care for Long-Lasting Crowns (After Treatment)
Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle brush; floss with a gentle seesaw motion near crown margins.
Use fluoride toothpaste to protect against decay at the edges.
Avoid opening packages with your teeth and limit very hard or sticky foods.
If you clench or grind, wear your custom night guard.
Keep regular cleanings and exams so we can monitor margins and bite.
Small habits protect your investment and keep the tooth healthy for the long run.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a crown or something else?
That’s exactly what the consultation clarifies. We’ll compare crowns vs. onlays vs. large fillings and explain the tradeoffs in strength, longevity, and cost.
Will people notice I have a crown?
With careful shade matching and contouring, front-tooth crowns can blend seamlessly. We work closely with our lab to align the crown’s colour, translucency, and shape with neighbouring teeth.
What if I’m nervous about dental work?
Tell us. We take a gentle, step-by-step approach and offer strategies to help you feel calm and in control throughout your visit.
Can a failing crown be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. If the crown is intact and the issue is cement failure or a minor chip, repair may be possible. If decay is present under the crown or the fit is poor, replacement is usually the safer option.
