Dental Crowns in Toronto, ON

A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape and function. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by attaching an artificial tooth to the healthy teeth on each side of the gap. Crowns are often recommended after a large filling or a root canal, and both are chosen after a clinical evaluation.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown in Toronto covers the whole visible part of a tooth. The [Canadian Dental Association] describes a crown as a hollow, artificial tooth that covers and protects the natural tooth underneath. Crowns are often recommended:

• after a large filling, when the remaining tooth needs support
• after [root canal] treatment
• when a tooth is damaged or weakened and needs protection

Crown Materials

The material and design are chosen based on strength, aesthetics and bite. Options include:

• porcelain or ceramic crowns
• zirconia crowns
• porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns

The CDA notes that porcelain looks very natural, while porcelain-fused-to-metal balances strength and appearance.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge in Toronto replaces one or more missing teeth. Bridges are used when the teeth next to the gap can support the replacement, and they are discussed when teeth are missing and implants are not chosen. According to the CDA, a bridge joins an artificial tooth between two crowns, and it is held in place by your natural teeth or by implants.
