Perfectly Seamless Tooth Restoration

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Crowns are ideal for teeth that are broken, treated by root canal, stained, damaged by decay, or misshapen. Each crown is crafted to match the colour and contour of your natural teeth, creating a flawless and durable restoration that can last over 15 years.

Dental crowns are also versatile—they can anchor dental bridges, complete dental implants, or enhance your smile through cosmetic modifications. Enjoy a seamless blend of function and aesthetics with professionally fitted crowns!

What’s the Process of Getting a Crown?

The dental crown procedure typically involves two office visits, ensuring your tooth is restored effectively and comfortably.

Examining and Preparing the Tooth

Every dental crown procedure starts with a thorough examination and cleaning. The dentist assesses your teeth and removes any decay or damaged areas if necessary, preparing the tooth to fit the crown securely. This step ensures the crown can protect the tooth from further damage.

Shaping the Crown

Next, we take an impression of your teeth using dental putty to create your custom porcelain crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth until your permanent crown is ready. If replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant, an impression of the implant and surrounding teeth will be taken to craft a precise crown.

Placing the Crown

During your second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and your custom crown is securely attached using dental cement or a hidden screw. The dentist will polish the crown and make adjustments for a perfect fit, ensuring comfort and long-term stability. With proper care, your dental crown will blend seamlessly with your smile and provide lasting protection for years to come!

Cost of Dental Crowns in Waterdown

The cost of a dental crown can vary depending on your unique needs. With a typical insurance plan, the out-of-pocket expense for a single crown generally ranges from $200 to $600+. Without insurance, crowns typically cost $800 to $1,200 or more. While crowns are a practical choice to restore your teeth and smile, understanding the cost factors can help you make an informed decision.

    What Determines the Cost of a Dental Crown?

  • Type and Material: The type of crown and materials used (e.g., porcelain, metal, or zirconia) influence the cost.
  • Location and Complexity: Crowns for molars or more complex procedures may cost more.
  • Number of Crowns: Multiple crowns can increase the overall expense.
  • Additional Dental Appliances: Combining crowns with bridges or implants can impact costs.
  • Supplies and Equipment: Tools and materials specific to your treatment affect the pricing.

Since every case is unique, an oral examination is essential to provide a precise quote. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your needs, discuss your options, and provide a detailed breakdown of costs. If you have insurance, we can assist you in determining your out-of-pocket expenses to help you plan effectively.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the location of the tooth. Back teeth, like molars and premolars, handle heavy chewing and typically require crowns for added strength. Front teeth, such as incisors and canines, which aren’t as involved in chewing, may not always need crowns.

Crowns are generally more durable than fillings, especially for teeth with large biting surfaces. Fillings on molars may chip or loosen under repeated chewing pressure or clenching. Crowns, with their single unbroken surface from gumline to gumline, are designed to withstand greater forces over time.

Dental crowns restore the full function of your tooth while seamlessly blending with your natural teeth. They’re custom-coloured and contoured to match your smile, making them virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Many patients forget which tooth has the crown!

A dental post reinforces the base of a crown in cases where there isn’t enough healthy tooth structure left. Unlike a dental implant, which is surgically placed in the jawbone, a post is cemented into a root canal-treated tooth to provide stability.

Getting a crown feels similar to receiving a filling. The area is numbed thoroughly to ensure comfort during the procedure. Some sensitivity or mild gum soreness may occur afterward but usually resolves quickly. If you’re anxious about dental visits, let us know—we’re here to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

Dental crowns typically last up to 15 years, but with proper care, they can last 25-30 years.

Caring for a crown is similar to caring for a natural tooth. Brush and floss regularly to maintain the crown and the supporting gums. Routine cleanings and checkups are essential for long-term oral health.
