Perfectly Seamless Tooth Restoration

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” placed over a tooth that’s been broken, undergone a root canal, stained, damaged by decay, or misshapen. Crafted to match the tone and shape of your natural teeth, crowns provide a seamless restoration and can last over 15 years. Crowns are also used to support dental bridges, complete implants, or for cosmetic enhancements to improve your smile.

What’s the Process of Getting a Crown?

The process of getting a dental crown typically requires two visits to your dentist. Here’s how it works:

Examining and Preparing the Tooth

The procedure starts with a thorough dental exam. The dentist will clean and prepare the tooth for the crown. If the tooth is broken or decayed, the damaged areas will be removed to ensure the crown fits securely and protects the tooth from further harm.

Shaping the Crown

Next, we’ll take an impression of your tooth using dental putty to create a custom-fit crown. You’ll receive a temporary crown to wear until your permanent one is ready. If you’re getting a crown to top a dental implant, we’ll take an impression of the implant and surrounding teeth. A custom crown will then be crafted in a lab to match your natural teeth.

Placing the Crown

At your second visit, the temporary crown will be replaced with the permanent one. The crown is securely attached using dental cement or a hidden screw. Finally, your dentist will polish the crown and make adjustments to ensure it fits comfortably and looks natural.

Cost of Dental Crowns in Oakville

The cost of a dental crown can vary depending on several factors. With insurance, the cost for a single crown typically ranges from $200 to $600 or more. Without insurance, the price is usually between $800 to $1,200 and higher. While most people find that a dental crown is a worthwhile investment to restore the function and appearance of their teeth, it’s understandable that the cost may be a concern.

    Factors that Affect the Cost of a Dental Crown:

  • The type of crown and materials used (e.g., porcelain, ceramic, metal).
  • The location and complexity of the procedure.
  • The number of crowns required.
  • Whether the crown is combined with other treatments like bridges.
  • Supplies and specialized equipment needed for your specific case.

It’s important to note that an accurate quote can only be provided after a dentist has examined your mouth. If you have dental insurance, we can help provide a detailed quote for you to submit, so you can know your out-of-pocket costs before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you need a crown after a root canal depends on the tooth’s location. Back teeth, like molars and premolars, are more likely to need crowns due to the chewing force they endure, while front teeth like incisors and canines may not always require a crown.

For teeth with large biting surfaces, crowns are typically more durable than fillings. Fillings can chip or come loose under the repeated pressure of chewing or grinding, while crowns provide a stronger, continuous surface that can withstand greater force over time.

No, dental crowns are designed to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are coloured and shaped to match the surrounding teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. In fact, many people forget which tooth has the crown!

A dental post is used to reinforce the structure of a tooth after a root canal when there isn’t enough healthy tooth left to hold a crown. It’s cemented into the root canal, providing a sturdy foundation for the crown.

Getting a crown is similar to getting a filling. The area is numbed, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity or gum soreness may occur afterward, but it typically subsides quickly. If you’re nervous, let us know so we can ensure a comfortable experience.

With proper care, dental crowns can last 15 years or more. In some cases, they can last up to 25-30 years if maintained well.

Caring for a dental crown is just like caring for a natural tooth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups will keep your crown and the surrounding gums healthy. Routine cleanings are essential for long-term maintenance.
