Dental Crowns in Scarborough Revive Your Smile

Dental Crowns and Bridges in Scarborough ON

A man smiling after receiving a dental crown service in Scarborough ON A broken or missing tooth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile, impacting your daily quality of life and your interpersonal relationships. A compromised tooth may also make chewing, eating, and enjoying the foods you usually love difficult.

A dental crown or bridge offers an excellent solution for repairing or replacing a compromised tooth, and our dentists can help create a restoration that restores chewing function and aesthetics to your smile.

When Do I Need a Dental Crown in Scarborough?

A crown completely covers your damaged tooth, restoring form, function, and aesthetics. Our dentists use customized ceramic porcelain to match your other teeth and complement your smile.

We may recommend a crown in these situations:

To strengthen a broken, cracked, or decayed tooth
To replace a large, broken-down filling
To restore a dental implant
To rebuild a tooth that's had a root canal
To cover a misshapen or cosmetically compromised tooth

When Do We Recommend a Dental Bridge?

Bridges are an ideal tooth replacement option for one or more adjacent teeth. They cover healthy teeth with anchor crowns that support one or more prosthetic teeth in between, filling the gaps in your smile and restoring chewing function.

A bridge is also made of porcelain and custom-designed to blend seamlessly into your smile to restore aesthetics.

Dental bridges in Scarborough can be an excellent option for those needing tooth replacement but may not be candidates for dental implants, as no surgery is required to place a bridge.

The Crown and Bridge Treatment Process

family hugging | dental crowns scarborough on Completing a dental crown or bridge is similar and takes two visits with your Scarborough dentist.

During the first visit, we'll prepare your tooth for restoration, take impressions of your smile, and create a temporary crown or bridge for you to wear. A dental lab will create your final restoration, which takes two to three weeks.

Once the lab has completed your bridge or crown, you'll return to Dentistry at Alton Towers to have our dentists place it permanently. We'll also make any adjustments to your smile to ensure that your bite is comfortable and properly functioning.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge or Crown

Daily brushing and flossing are the keys to keeping your restoration clean and promoting longevity. Routine checkups with your team at Dentistry at Alton Towers will also help to protect your restoration, as our dentists can identify early signs of wear or breakdown that could be problematic.

Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage or pull off a dental restoration. Enjoy hard foods in bite-size pieces that won't harm your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental crowns made of?

Our dentists use a few different materials to make dental crowns in Scarborough.

They may recommend a gold crown for a molar that takes the impact of your chewing force because it's the most durable material for that job.

A ceramic porcelain crown is best for teeth you can see because we can customize it to match your teeth and blend beautifully with your smile.

Porcelain fused to metal may provide more durability but might not be the right aesthetic choice.

The Dental Crown Process

Completing a dental crown at Dentistry at Alton Towers is straightforward and should take two appointments. After determining that you need a crown, here's how the process works.

The first appointment — Our dentists get your tooth ready for its new crown by taking impressions and making a temporary crown for you to wear.
A dental lab prepares the crown — It takes two to three weeks for our dental lab to make your new restoration.
Permanent placement — Once your crown is ready, you'll return to Dentistry at Alton Towers to have it permanently placed.

If you have questions about your treatment or the type of crown recommended, you can contact your dentist in Scarborough at (416) 366-8188.

How long do dental crowns last?

Dental crowns are renowned for their durability and versatility. More effectively than any other dental restoration, crowns restore the form and function of damaged or weakened teeth. Additionally, after tooth loss, they function optimally as long-lasting replacements atop dental implants.

But how long can you expect your dental crowns to last?

Lifespan of Dental Crowns

Generally, dental crowns last between 10 and 15 years. With robust at-home and professional care, they can last even longer! However, the most significant factor in a dental crown’s lifespan is the material from which it’s made:

Porcelain or Ceramic — The most aesthetically seamless option, with a lifespan of 10 years or more.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal — The best balance of durability and aesthetics, typically lasting between a decade and 15 years.
Metal (Gold/Alloy) — Best suited for less visible, high-use teeth, offering incredible durability of 15-20 years or more!

Maximizing the Life of Your Dental Crown

Here are some tips to help ensure the longevity of your dental crowns, regardless of material:

Maintain good oral hygiene, including daily brushing and flossing.
Avoid biting down on hard objects.
Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth (bruxism) while sleeping.
Schedule regular dental visits to assess and monitor the crown’s condition.
