DENTAL CROWNS
Restore & Protect Your Smile with Dental Crowns in Upper Beaches Toronto
A damaged or weakened tooth doesn't always need to be removed. In many cases, a dental crown can restore its strength, function, and appearance while allowing you to keep your natural tooth. At Kingston Park Dental Centre, we provide custom dental crowns for patients throughout Upper Beaches, The Beaches, East Toronto, Scarborough, Birch Cliff, East Danforth, and surrounding communities.
Whether you have a cracked tooth, a large cavity, a worn restoration, or have recently completed root canal treatment, our experienced team will determine whether a dental crown is the best solution to protect your smile for years to come.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that completely covers the visible portion of a damaged tooth.
Often referred to as a "cap," a crown restores the tooth's shape, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage. Each crown is carefully fabricated to match the colour, size, and contour of your surrounding teeth, creating a restoration that looks and feels completely natural.
Whenever possible, preserving your natural tooth is our priority, and a dental crown is often one of the best ways to achieve that.
When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
Dental crowns are recommended when a tooth can no longer be adequately restored with a filling alone.
A crown may be the best option if you have:
- A large cavity
- A cracked or fractured tooth
- A broken tooth
- A tooth weakened after root canal treatment
- A severely worn tooth
- A large filling that is failing
- A dental implant that requires a permanent restoration
During your examination, we'll evaluate the condition of your tooth and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Dental crowns do much more than improve appearance.
They help:
- Strengthen weakened teeth
- Restore normal chewing function
- Protect cracked teeth from further damage
- Improve the appearance of damaged teeth
- Restore the shape and alignment of your smile
- Extend the lifespan of compromised teeth
With proper care, a dental crown can provide many years of reliable function.
The Dental Crown Process
Receiving a dental crown is a carefully planned process designed to restore your tooth while ensuring a comfortable fit.
Your treatment begins with a thorough examination to determine whether a crown is the best option. After preparing the tooth, precise impressions or digital scans are taken so your custom crown can be fabricated to fit your bite and match your natural smile.
Once your permanent crown is ready, it is securely bonded to your tooth and carefully adjusted to ensure comfort, proper function, and a natural appearance.
Our goal is to create a restoration that feels just like your own tooth.
Crowns That Look Natural
Modern dental crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Using high-quality materials, today’s crowns closely resemble natural tooth enamel in both colour and translucency. Whether your crown is placed on a front tooth or a back molar, we carefully match it to your surrounding teeth so your restoration looks attractive and functions comfortably.
Most people won’t be able to tell which tooth has been restored.
Caring for Your Dental Crown
Dental crowns require the same daily care as your natural teeth.
Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and continue scheduling routine dental examinations and professional cleanings. Although the crown itself cannot decay, the tooth underneath and surrounding gum tissue still require excellent oral hygiene.
Avoid using your teeth to bite hard objects or open packages, as excessive force may damage both natural teeth and restorations.
With proper care, many dental crowns last well over a decade.
