Porcelain Crowns in North York Region – Restore & Strengthen Your Smile at Bayview Smile Centre
Crowns are used to restore teeth that are cracked, worn down, or heavily restored. A porcelain crown is a simple, long lasting restoration that allows for both stability and beautiful aesthetics. Let our team at Bayview Smile Centre show you how porcelain crowns may be an ideal dental solution for you!
What is a Crown?
A crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, is a permanent restoration that covers the entire tooth surface above the gumline. Crowns are used to repair damaged teeth, or to protect teeth that are at risk for fracture, such as root canal treated or heavily restored teeth. Crowns are custom made for each patient and they are matched to your surrounding teeth.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
These days, crowns are virtually undetectable. Modern materials mimic the look and feel of enamel and are made to match your other teeth perfectly.
Dental crowns are used to reinforce teeth that have been damaged due to accident or decay, or weakened by extensive restoration.
A well fitted crown can help you to chew normally, just like a natural tooth.
Whether treating a cracked or fractured tooth, a root canal treated or heavily restored tooth, or simply being used for esthetic reasons, dental crowns are very versatile.
Why Would I Need a Crown?
Dental crowns can be used to treat:
- A broken or worn down tooth
- Teeth with large restorations
- Root canal treated teeth, which are prone to fracture
- Cosmetic problems such as staining or teeth that need to be reshaped
- Any tooth that needs a little extra strength due to function or structure
The Porcelain Crown Process
at Bayview Smile Centre
Free Consultation
We always offer a free consultation for any cosmetic procedures. We may take photos or use a digital scan to start planning your crown.
Preparation
Your tooth will be gently shaped to accommodate the crown and ensure a perfect fit. A temporary crown protects the tooth prior to the permanent crown being inserted.
Custom Design
We use state of the art dental labs to custom design and fabricate your new crown.
Installation
Your crown will be fitted and bonded into place.
Homecare
Dental crowns can last many many years with good oral hygiene at home and regular visits to your dentist.
Frequently Asked Questions
While there are no lifetime guarantees, with regular dental visits and by maintaining good oral hygiene habits, your new crown should last 10-15 years, often even longer.
Crown margins are very discreet when placed correctly. The older style crowns which were made with metal underneath a layer of porcelain were notorious for having unsightly borders. The newer, all ceramic crowns are much more difficult to detect. They are very thin and match the tooth colour
Dental crowns are a very comfortable procedure. Most of the time, only local anaesthetic (freezing) is required.
Absolutely. A crown is a restoration designed for strength and function, but they are also a simple way to make minor corrections in colour, shape as well as improve spacing.
