Discover how Granada Dental ensures precision-crafted crowns that feel natural and last the first time.
The Right Crown Should Feel Like Part of You
Dental crowns are one of the most common restorative procedures and for good reason. When a tooth is damaged, weakened, or vulnerable after a root canal, a crown helps restore strength, shape, and function. But if you’ve ever had one that didn’t sit quite right, felt uncomfortable, or needed constant adjustment, you know how frustrating that experience can be.
At Granada Dental in Sherwood Park, we believe you shouldn’t have to settle for a “good enough” fit. A crown should feel seamless, natural, and durable. Our focus is on precision, comfort, and long-term success, starting from the very first appointment.
When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth:
Is cracked or fractured
Has been weakened by a large filling
Requires protection after a root canal
Is worn down from grinding or clenching
Needs cosmetic restoration due to shape or discolouration
We often hear from patients who waited too long or had a previous crown that didn’t meet their expectations. That’s why we approach every case with a long-term mindset — blending dental science with personal comfort.
What Makes a Crown Feel Off? (And Why It Matters)
A dental crown might look fine in the mirror but if it’s even slightly misaligned or too high, it can cause issues:
Bite discomfort or pressure pain
Jaw soreness or headaches
Gum irritation and inflammation
Difficulty chewing on one side
Long-term damage to adjacent teeth or the crown itself
Unfortunately, many of these symptoms are overlooked or dismissed. At Granada Dental, we take time to ensure your crown fits perfectly, using advanced imaging and bite alignment technology to fine-tune every detail.
Modern Tools for a Better Fit
We use digital scanning and imaging to create precise impressions — no more goopy trays that can distort shape or size. This allows us to design crowns that align accurately with your existing bite and tooth structure.
Our lab partners use high-strength ceramic materials that balance durability with a natural appearance. Whether it’s a molar under heavy pressure or a visible front tooth, we match color and contour for a crown that blends in and holds up.
How Long Do Crowns Last? (And How We Help Them Last Longer)
One of the most common concerns we hear is, “How long will it last?” While most crowns last 10–15 years, several factors can affect longevity:
Quality of materials and fabrication
Accuracy of fit and bite alignment
Oral hygiene habits
Clenching or grinding habits
Whether the tooth was properly prepared
Our team builds every treatment plan with long-term success in mind. We educate patients on care routines, watch for risk factors like bruxism, and offer custom night guards when needed.
Insurance-Friendly, With Transparent Costs
Let’s be honest cost matters. And while dental crowns are often partially covered by insurance, there can be surprises if the details aren’t clear upfront.
At Granada Dental:
We direct-bill most major insurance plans
We provide clear estimates before treatment begins
Our team helps you understand what’s covered
We offer payment plan options when needed
We don’t just want to deliver great results we want to make sure you feel supported through the financial process, too.
Common Crown Concerns, Answered
“Is getting a crown painful?”
With today’s technology and our gentle approach, getting a crown is typically a low-discomfort procedure. Local anesthetic ensures you won’t feel pain during the process. After placement, it’s common to experience mild sensitivity — but this usually subsides within a few days.
“How many visits will I need?”
Most patients require two appointments — one for preparation and impressions, and another for placement. We provide a temporary crown between visits to protect your tooth. In urgent cases, we’ll do our best to expedite your care.
“Can I chew normally after the crown?”
Yes, but we recommend avoiding sticky or very hard foods for the first 24 hours. Once your crown is fully seated and bonded, it functions much like a natural tooth.
“What if I’ve had a bad crown before?”
We’ve worked with many patients who’ve had negative experiences elsewhere — and we’re here to help make things right. We’ll evaluate your current crown, discuss options for replacement if needed, and ensure any future crown is tailored to your bite, function, and comfort.
