What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a good way to fix a tooth that is broken, cracked, or has a big hole in it. It helps keep your real tooth instead of removing it.

You can put a dental crown on any tooth — the ones in front that show when you smile, or the back teeth you use for chewing. A crown is like a cap that goes over your whole tooth. It makes your tooth look normal again and helps it work the right way. It also stops your tooth from hurting.

Think of a crown as a strong cover for your tooth. It keeps out bacteria that could cause more problems. Once the crown is on, your tooth gets stronger and you can eat without pain.

Different Types of Dental Crowns

Everyone's teeth are unique, so we offer several crown options made from different materials. Here are some examples:

Porcelain crowns - These look exactly like real teeth. We match the shade your natural tooth colour, so no one can tell the difference. Perfect for teeth that show when you smile.
Porcelain with metal crowns- Strong metal on the inside, natural-looking porcelain on the outside. Good for any tooth.
Gold or metal crowns - Are super strong for your chewing teeth in the back. They can last a very long time.
All-ceramic crowns - Look the most real and are quite strong. Great alternative, if you're allergic to metal.
Zirconia crowns - A newer type that's very durable and looks natural. Doesn't stain easily. Works well for back teeth.

Our team will examine your tooth and recommend to you which type will work best for your situation!

Dental Crown Process at Midtown Dental Studio on Eglinton

Step 1: Dental Exam and Review

We perform an initial examination to see look at the area that’s bothering you. We review your dental records and your medical conditions and any medications you take that can have an affect on your teeth. Next, we examine the tooth that needs help.

We will usually perform digital X-rays to diagnose the area better, including the roots underneath. We will review the results with you and recommend if a dental crown is a good treatment option for you and which crown type is best for you.

Step 2: Getting Your Tooth Ready

We always want you to feel comfortable during your treatments! We use special numbing medicine (a local anesthetic) and we carefully work so your tooth and gums don't hurt while we work on them.

Next, we shape down your tooth so the crown will fit on top of it nicely. We take away any damaged parts and change the tooth's shape to create space for the crown. When we're done, we clean everything carefully and might put a temporary cap on your tooth to keep it safe.

Step 3: Creating Your Crown

We take digital scan of your tooth (no-goop impressions) and measurements of your tooth. This helps us build a crown that fits just right and looks like your real tooth.

We send the scans to our special dental lab that makes your crown from the material we have recommended and chosen with you. They colour match the crown to your natural tooth. It takes around two weeks to make before it is sent to our office.

Step 4: Putting On Your New Crown

When we receive the custom crown from the lab, we call you back in. We take off the temporary cover and put your new crown on your tooth.

We test how it feels when you close and open your mouth. If something doesn't feel right, we fix it right away. Then we use strong glue (special dental cement) to permanently stick the crown to your tooth.

Step 5: Last Check and Care Tips

We check one more time to be sure your crown feels right when you close your mouth and bite down.

We also tell you how to take care of your crown at home and what to expect (your tooth might feel a tiny bit different for a short time). Taking good care of your crown will help it stay strong for a long time!

Frequently Asked Questions About a Dental Crown

How do I know if I need a dental crown?

You might need a dental crown if:

Your tooth has a crack or break in it.
You have a big filling that's wearing out.
It hurts when you bite or chew with that tooth.
You just had a root canal and need to protect the tooth.

If any of these sound like what's happening to you, give us a call. Our team will take a look and help you figure out if a crown will fix the problem.

Will getting a dental crown hurt?

We make sure you're comfortable! Before we do anything, we numb the area around your tooth with medicine (a local anesthetic) so you won't feel pain.

You shouldn't feel much at all while we work on your tooth and put the crown in place.

How long will my dental crown last?

A dental crown can last different amounts of time based on what they're made of and how you look after them.

Porcelain and ceramic crowns typically stay strong for 10 to 15 years.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are tougher and often work well for 15 years or more.
Gold and metal crowns are the strongest and can last 20 years or even longer!
Zirconia crowns are also very durable and usually last 10 to 15 years or more.

Important: If your crown ever feels wobbly, you see damage, or you have new pain around it, call us immediately! We'll examine your crown and make sure your tooth stays protected.

Are tooth-coloured crowns as strong as metal ones?

Dental crowns that look like real teeth (porcelain and ceramic crowns) are much more durable now than they used to be. Crowns made from porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia are really strong. They work great for eating normal foods and can last for many years. Metal or gold crowns might last a little longer on your back teeth where you do a lot of hard chewing. But most people prefer crowns that match their tooth colour because they look natural, and they work really well for almost all situations.
