Tooth Crown in Burlington, ON

Damaged teeth impact your smile’s appearance and function. They can lead to extra tooth sensitivity and other oral health concerns.

A tooth crown is a great option for restoring broken, chipped or fractured teeth. They are essentially custom made restorations usually in porcelain that envelope or cap your tooth. This restores it back to original function and restores your smile.

Tooth crowns are made from a wide variety of materials, from metal to porcelain, the porcelain option being the most popular for cosmetic reasons.

FAQ

Tooth Crown FAQ

Can I get a dental crown if I have gum disease?

No, we do not install a crown and bridge in Burlington, ON unless your gums are in healthy condition. Our dentist will advise gum disease treatment first, to ensure gum health before installing a tooth crown.

How long does a tooth crown last?

Properly-cared for crowns often last for over 10 years. However, cleaning your teeth and crown daily via brushing and flossing is critical for ensuring the restoration lasts as long as possible. Furthermore, regular dental visits will help keep your crown in good condition, and give the dentist a chance to repair or replace it before it causes any issues. We also share detailed information on how to care for your crown and ensure its longevity.

Is a crown better than a filling?

Tooth crowns are more durable than fillings, especially on a tooth with a bigger biting surface. However, the best option for your tooth depends on the extent of damage and the use of the tooth. We recommend crowns for teeth that handle more biting force and have a larger biting surface, because they can handle the force better.

If I get a root canal, will I need a crown?

Porcelain crowns are common following a root canal, but in some cases a filling may be sufficient. We often use crowns on molars and premolars, because they are used more heavily for chewing. If the root canal is on a canine or incisor, a filling may be fine.

What is the price of a porcelain crown in Burlington?

Porcelain crowns are a bit more expensive than silver ones, but they offer a much more natural appearance. Patients often prefer them on visible teeth. The exact pricing of a porcelain crown will depend on the complexity of your case, but we also offer ceramic crowns as an alternative white tooth crown option. Our dental team will share a detailed cost estimate for your crown after your consultation assessment.
