Dental crowns are one of the most versatile restorations in modern dentistry, and we're excited to offer high-quality, same-day crowns in Etobicoke, ON.
Dental crowns in Etobicoke are tooth-shaped and hollowed out to fit over an existing tooth—always coloured to match your smile precisely. They work in general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative dentistry! Let's look at the role of dental crowns under each of these umbrellas.
Dental Crowns in General Dentistry
If you've suffered trauma to your tooth or an extensive root infection, your Etobicoke dentist may recommend a dental crown to return the tooth to its former strength and increase bite force following treatment or root canal therapy.
Root canal treatment requires our dentist to remove the deep infection, close your tooth with antibacterial agents, and temporarily seal the area. Later, your dentist may recommend a tooth cap.
How Dental Crowns Can Be Used in Cosmetic Dentistry
Same-day tooth crowns conceal several cosmetic tooth issues, including:
- Small chips
- Small cracks
- Discolouration
- Tooth shape issues
- Small gaps between teeth
A dental crown in Etobicoke also tops a dental implant post as part of your permanent replacement tooth.
Custom Dental Restorations
Dental crowns often play host to a dental bridge. A dental bridge is a tooth or row of teeth that stand in for missing teeth lost in a single row. Dental crowns exist on both ends of a dental bridge and cap healthy adjacent teeth to keep your restorations locked in place.
Dental crowns are not only versatile, but they are also durable and always designed to match your smile.
Same-Day Crowns with Innovative CEREC Technology
CEREC technology allows our dentists to design, fabricate, and place a crown in a matter of hours rather than weeks! We're excited to bring same-day crowns to our patients to help them streamline their busy schedules and complete the dentistry they need in a timely manner.
With CEREC, we no longer need to take messy impressions of your teeth that were uncomfortable for our patients to endure. Instead, we can use 3-D imaging to create your crown. The specifications are then sent to our milling machine, which uses high-quality porcelain to make your crown on-site exactly to our dentist's specifications.
We'll seat the crown, make any adjustments needed for proper bite alignment, and you're done and ready to enjoy your new tooth!
