Dental Crowns in Toronto
Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.
Where damage to a person’s teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain crowns to make the smile appear natural. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing significant dental problems and/or replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this service. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for a long time depending on various factors including but not limited to the level of oral hygiene care.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their shape, size, and functionality. They are designed to protect and strengthen teeth while also enhancing their appearance. Whether you have a cracked tooth, severely decayed teeth, or a tooth that’s undergone root canal therapy, a dental crown can provide a reliable solution to restore your perfect smile.
Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape/build up the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown.
On the subsequent visit we will remove the temporary crown, and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful looking tooth.

Cowns are a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using thos technique. Material used in this repairs is either high-grade porcelain, or porcelain bonded to gold. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns can be used as a long-term solution.
Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings might weaken the teeth and cause esthetic problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.

How to Care for Your Dental Crowns
Proper care is essential to ensure the longevity of your dental crowns. Here are some tips to keep your crowns in excellent condition:
- Maintain Regular Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss around the crown to prevent decay or gum disease near the treated tooth.
- Avoid Hard Foods: While crowns are strong, biting into hard objects like ice or hard candy can cause damage.
- Schedule Routine Checkups: Regular dental visits allow us to monitor the health and condition of your crown, ensuring it lasts as long as possible.
- Wear a Nightguard: If you grind your teeth at night, a custom nightguard can protect your crown from excessive wear.
