Dental Crowns in Sydenham

Restore Strength, Function, and Beauty to Your Smile

Do you have a tooth that’s cracked, worn down, heavily filled, or weakened by decay or past dental work? At My Smile Dental in Sydenham, we offer high-quality dental crowns that can restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged teeth. Our custom-crafted crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown, also known as a “cap,” is a tooth-shaped cover placed over a natural tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength while improving its overall appearance. Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a filling alone. They are also used after root canal treatment, to support a dental bridge, or to cover a dental implant.

At My Smile Dental, we use crowns made from high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, and zirconia, which are carefully matched to the colour and contour of your existing teeth. These materials are not only durable and long-lasting but also aesthetically pleasing, offering a natural-looking result that can last for many years with proper care.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

• Our dentists may recommend a crown in several situations:
• To protect a weak or cracked tooth from breaking
• To restore a tooth that is already broken or severely worn down
• To support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t much tooth structure left
• To cover a tooth that has had root canal therapy
• To anchor a dental bridge or complete a dental implant
• To enhance the appearance of a discoloured or misshaped tooth

Crowns are often an essential part of restorative dentistry and can also play a key role in cosmetic improvements.

The Dental Crown Procedure at My Smile Dental

Getting a dental crown usually involves two appointments at My Smile Dental.

First Visit: Tooth Preparation and Temporary Crown

At your first visit, your dentist will carefully shape the tooth to make room for the crown. This involves removing any decay or weakened structure and preparing the tooth for a secure fit. We then take digital impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a local dental laboratory where your custom crown is created. A temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth to protect it until your next appointment.

Second Visit: Crown Placement

Once your permanent crown is ready (usually within two weeks), we remove the temporary crown and check the fit and colour of the new one. If everything looks and feels right, the crown is permanently cemented into place. Your dentist will make minor adjustments to ensure your bite is correct and the crown feels natural in your mouth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer a wide range of benefits for both functional and aesthetic purposes. These include:

• Restoring your ability to chew and speak properly
• Protecting and strengthening damaged or weakened teeth
• Enhancing the shape, colour, and alignment of your smile
• Preventing further wear or damage to compromised teeth
• Offering long-lasting results with proper oral care

When crafted and placed properly, crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
