Dental Crowns
A dental crown, commonly called a ‘cap,’ is an efficient and cost-effective way to help repair a lost tooth or compromised tooth structure. The detrimental effects of tooth decay and large cracked fillings can significantly weaken the strength of your teeth. Over time, without a crowning treatment, your teeth may further degrade to the point of becoming unusable. This can lead to the loss of your tooth and result in eating discomfort and aesthetic concerns. Crowning procedures are a simple and effective method of prolonging the life of weakened and compromised teeth. The additional benefit of dental crowns is the improved appearance and functionality they offer. Depending on your clinical needs, you will be given an array of crowning treatment options. Various materials can be selected to fabricate your crown at our dental office in Brampton, ranging from all zirconia, all ceramic, porcelain, gold, porcelain fused to metal, and metal crown materials. These will be tailored to your wants and requirements and can be made to work within your budget.
The first step in the crowning of a tooth involves assessing your needs and wants. An assessment of which type of crowning treatment will best address your concerns will be discussed. After that, dental impressions will be taken of your teeth once that decision is made. This dental imprint is a record of where we will be starting from and will help us achieve the final goal. Your tooth crown will then be prepared and shaped to the chosen design. A new impression will then be taken of your newly prepared tooth so that the most accurate duplicate of the affected tooth can be made. This dental impression is then forwarded to our local dental laboratory, with whom we work very closely during the fabrication process of your custom-made crowning treatment. Working as a team, with constant correspondence between your dentist and the dental laboratory, your crown will be made to the dentist’s and your specifications. As your crown is being fabricated, your tooth will be protected by a temporary customized crown to improve your inter-appointment comfort. Upon receiving your crown from the dental laboratory and after careful assessment and articulation by our dentist, the final customized crown will be permanently cemented as part of our quality assurance protocol.
