Restore Strength, Function, and Beauty with Custom Crowns at Glenashton Dental Centre

A dental crown—sometimes called a cap—is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. Designed to look and function like your natural teeth, crowns restore strength, shape, and aesthetics while preventing further damage.

At Glenashton Dental Centre in Oakville, our skilled dentists create durable, natural-looking crowns that seamlessly blend with your smile.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A crown fits snugly over the entire visible portion of a tooth, acting as a protective shell. Before placing the crown, your dentist gently reshapes the tooth by removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a perfect fit. The crown is then cemented securely into place for long-lasting stability and comfort.

Crowns can be made from a variety of high-quality materials, including:

• Porcelain or ceramic: for the most natural appearance and translucency.
• Metal alloys: for exceptional strength and durability.
• Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): for a balance of strength and aesthetics.
• Resin or composite: for temporary or budget-friendly solutions.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

Dental crowns are versatile and used in a wide range of restorative and cosmetic treatments. Your dentist may recommend a crown to:

• Strengthen a weak or decayed tooth.
• Restore a cracked, broken, or worn-down tooth.
• Protect a tooth after root canal therapy.
• Cover a dental implant as a permanent tooth replacement.
• Anchor a dental bridge in place.
• Improve the appearance of a severely discolored or misshapen tooth.

The Crown Placement Process

• Examination & Preparation: The dentist evaluates your tooth and prepares it for the crown by reshaping its surface.
• Impression: A digital or traditional mold is taken to ensure a precise fit.
• Temporary Crown: A temporary crown protects your tooth while your custom crown is being fabricated.
• Final Placement: Once ready, your permanent crown is carefully adjusted, cemented, and polished for a perfect, natural finish.
