Dental crowns, often known as tooth crowns, are caps that resemble teeth and are placed over natural teeth. For strength, form, and structure, they totally encase the tooth. A tooth that is shattered, severely decaying, or otherwise injured may be saved with the use of these dental caps. A dental crown prevents flaws or cracks from becoming worse and leading to more significant problems with oral health. Ignoring dental cracks may result in infection of the tooth roots, necessitating root canal treatment, or other issues needing oral surgery.

Damaged and weak teeth may be effectively protected with dental crowns. Sometimes a highly decaying tooth cannot be restored with a filling alone; fissures must be fixed. A crown will provide the additional support that natural teeth need to avoid damage during root canal treatment or prior to bridge attachment.

The first visit at Dentistry on Dufferin includes a dental checkup and cleaning. Our Toronto dentist office will then apply a local anesthetic. Teeth that are decayed or damaged are extracted and treated. To provide space for the dental crown and improve its connection, a little bit of tooth enamel is removed. After that, a mold is made for your personalized dental crown. In the meantime, you will get a temporary crown from your Toronto dentist. You will return for a second appointment to have your permanent crown glued on with dental cement when your Toronto dentist receives it from the dental lab. When it comes to dental implants, the crown is positioned after the healing of the surgical site.
