Situations where a dental crown may be the solution include:

Larger fillings that have broken down or have formed decay around them may need a crown to save the tooth.
A cracked tooth may need a crown to hold it together. Be careful not to wait too long as an untreated cracked tooth can become sensitive or eventually break.
Teeth that are very sensitive, either from a lot of 'wear', or from receded gums, sometimes require crowns to seal and protect the teeth from hot and cold sensitivity.
A tooth that has broken may be too weak to hold a filling. A crown will hold the tooth together and prevent it from breaking again. If the fracture is too deep, Root Canal Therapy may be required before the tooth is crowned.
A tooth that has undergone Root Canal Therapy will need a crown to properly seal and protect the tooth.

A dental crown is a covering that sits over the top of the tooth creating a tooth surface to protect, cover, seal and strengthen your tooth. Cosmetic Dental crowns are used in many different scenarios as they are effective and often allow us to save a tooth rather than turning to implants.

The dental crown procedure usually involves 2 stages. During the first stage, portions of your natural tooth structure will be removed to accommodate the dental crown. An impression is made and sent to the lab where the custom dental crown will be created in about 2 weeks. During this time period, a temporary crown will be placed until the custom dental crown is ready to be bonded in place.

A crown may be the solution to saving that tooth. Our multilingual dental team in North York and Toronto Beaches will evaluate your needs depending on your oral health and the condition of your teeth.
