When a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or weakened, a dental crown provides the protection and strength it needs. At BluSky Dental Holland Cross, we offer traditional crowns and advanced same-day crowns using CAD/CAM technology.
Serving Westboro, Hintonburg, Wellington West, Little Italy, and Downtown Ottawa.

Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain crowns typically last 10-15 years, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns 15-20 years, and metal crowns 20+ years with proper care. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, grinding habits, diet, and regular dental visits. Many patients enjoy their crowns for 20-30 years with excellent care.
No. The crown procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during treatment. You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days after, which is normal and typically resolves on its own. Over-the-counter pain relievers usually manage any discomfort effectively.
Same-day crowns (CEREC crowns) are designed, milled, and placed in a single dental visit using advanced CAD/CAM technology. Instead of waiting 2-3 weeks with a temporary crown, you leave with your permanent crown the same day. The crowns are made from high-quality ceramic and are just as durable as traditional lab-made crowns.
Crown costs vary based on material type, tooth location, and complexity. Porcelain crowns typically range from $1,200-$2,500 per tooth. Most dental insurance plans cover 50-80% of crown costs when medically necessary. We provide detailed estimates before treatment.
