Dental Crowns
The tooth crown, also commonly referred to as a “cap”, is an efficient and cost effective way to help repair lost or compromised tooth structure. The detrimental effects of tooth decay and large cracked fillings can significantly weaken the strength of your teeth. Overtime, without crowning treatment, your teeth may further degrade to the point of becoming un-useable. This can often lead to the loss of your tooth, and result in eating discomfort and esthetics concerns thereafter. Crowning procedures, are a simple and effective method to prolong the life of weakened and compromised teeth. The additional benefit of the crowning of teeth, is the improved esthetic appearance and functionality that can be achieved. 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 located in Brampton, ranging from All Zirconia, All Ceramic, Porcelain, Gold, Porcelain fused to metal, and metal crown materials. These will be tailored to your needs, wants and requirements and can be made to work within your budget.
The steps involved in the crowning of teeth, involve firstly assessing your needs and wants. An assessment of which type of crowning treatment will best address your concerns will be discussed. Through co-diagnosis, a decision on the type of crowning treatment that best suits your needs will be determined and dental impressions will be taken of your teeth once a decision is made. This is a dental imprint and record of where we will be starting from, and how best to achieve where we wish to finish. Your tooth 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 correspondences between our clinic dentist and the dental laboratory, your crown will be made to the dentist’s and your specifications. As your crown is being fabricated, you 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 of your crown by our dentist, as part of our quality assurance protocol, the final customized crown will be permanently cemented.
