Crowns in Markham, ON

You only get one set of natural teeth—that is, after your primary (baby) teeth fall out and the adult set grows in. However, thanks to modern dentistry, there is a lot we can do to repair or restore them even if they become damaged or lost.

Dental implants were a revolutionary breakthrough because they mimic the root of your tooth. That means they can hold various restoration options on top to mimic a natural tooth and improve your smile.

What are dental crowns?

A dental crown is essentially a covering to go over your real tooth. This is helpful if your natural tooth is broken, fractured, discoloured, misshapen, or has old fillings. We may also recommend a dental crown in Markham after conducting root canal therapy. It is artificial and hollow yet works effectively to help us “makeover” a bad tooth. Dental crowns in Markham have many different uses and are popular among both patients and dentists as a result.

What are the types of dental crowns?

To blend in with your other teeth, a crown works best if it matches the colour and texture. There are different materials available, and some do not follow this thought method, but we are happy to discuss each option’s pros and cons. Overall, the purpose of a dental crown in Markham is to reinforce your natural tooth and act as a barrier to prevent further damage.

The materials we can use for your dental crowns are:

If you think you may need a crown in Markham to help restore your tooth, please feel free to book an appointment at our Markham dental office. We can examine your mouth to determine if this is the case and, if so, suggest the most suitable material. Our dentist may otherwise recommend an alternative treatment to help restore your smile.

How is a dental crown created and applied?

With our iTero digital scanner, our dentist uses optical imaging to quickly capture all of the tooth’s surfaces and contours, along with your surrounding gums, to help create your crown. We prefer this option, significantly overtaking traditional putty impressions, which are messier and often cause patients to gag. You can also view the images of your mouth that we capture in real time on our screen and get a sense of the restoration process.

Beyond your initial consultation to determine whether crowns are suitable for you, we will test your custom crown to ensure your satisfaction and comfort, and then place a temporary crown. At the same time, the permanent one is created in a lab. Our dentist will ensure the crown fits as perfectly as possible on your tooth and ultimately cement it in place on your final visit.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dental Crowns

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It’s commonly used for teeth that are broken, worn down, or after root canal treatment.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or even longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help extend their lifespan.

What materials are crowns made from?

Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials. Your dentist will recommend the best option depending on the tooth’s location, your bite, and cosmetic preferences.

How much do dental crowns cost?

The cost of a crown varies based on the material chosen and the complexity of the treatment. It’s best to discuss options with your dentist to find a solution that fits your needs and budget.

Are dental crowns covered by insurance?

Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for crowns, especially if they are needed for functional reasons rather than purely cosmetic ones. Coverage depends on your plan.

What is the process of getting a crown?

The procedure usually requires two visits. In the first, the tooth is prepared, impressions are taken, and a temporary crown is placed. In the second, the permanent crown is fitted and cemented.

How do I take care of my crown?

Care for a crown as you would your natural teeth—brush twice a day, floss daily, and avoid habits like chewing ice or biting hard objects. Regular checkups help ensure your crown stays in good condition.
