If you need to restore a tooth’s original shape, size, and function, dental crowns may be the ideal solution. Crowns are used when a tooth is damaged, decayed, or weakened and cannot be effectively repaired with fillings alone. They protect and strengthen the tooth, helping it remain functional and comfortable for many years. Southdale Square Dental Centre is proud to offer dental crowns to help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
A dental crown, often called a “cap,” is a strong, custom-made dental restoration that covers the entire tooth. It restores the tooth’s original shape, size, and strength. Crowns are commonly used for teeth that are broken, cracked, heavily filled, or have undergone root canal treatment. Porcelain crowns are a popular choice because they closely resemble your natural teeth, providing an attractive, natural-looking finish. Dental crowns are durable and long-lasting, but like any dental restoration, they may eventually need replacement over time.
The dental crown process usually requires two visits. During your first appointment, your Southdale Square Dental Centre dentist will prepare the tooth by removing decay and shaping it to ensure the crown fits properly. Precise impressions of your tooth are then taken to create a custom crown in a dental laboratory, which typically takes about one week. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth during this time. At your second appointment, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is carefully fitted, adjusted, and bonded into place. Your dentist will check the fit, bite, and comfort to ensure everything is just right. You will receive detailed care instructions to help maintain your crown, and regular dental visits will ensure it continues to function well for years to come.
If you have a damaged or weakened tooth that needs restoration, a dental crown may be the ideal solution. Crowns are durable, natural-looking and provide long-lasting protection for your teeth.
