Restoring Strength, Function & Confidence

What Are Dental Crowns?

—

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers the visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. Often referred to as a "cap," a crown restores the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance while helping protect it from further damage.

At Dentistry in Oak Ridges, crowns may be recommended when a tooth has significant decay, a large filling, a fracture, or substantial wear. Crowns can also be used following root canal treatment, to restore a dental implant, or to support a dental bridge.

Protect a Weak Tooth

A crown can help protect a tooth that has been weakened by decay, a large filling, or damage and reduce the risk of further fracture.

Restore a Damaged Tooth

Crowns can restore teeth that have broken, become severely worn, or no longer have enough healthy structure to support a filling.

Support Dental Restorations

Crowns can be used to support a dental bridge or cover and restore a dental implant.

Improve Your Smile

Modern tooth-coloured crowns can be designed to complement the appearance of your surrounding teeth while restoring the shape and function of your smile.

What Are Dental Bridges?

—

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. A replacement tooth, called a pontic, fills the space created by the missing tooth and is supported by crowns placed on neighbouring teeth or by dental implants, depending on your treatment plan.

A bridge can restore the appearance of your smile while also helping you chew and speak more comfortably. Replacing a missing tooth can also help prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting into the empty space.

Benefits of Dental Crowns & Bridges

—

Dental crowns and bridges can provide both functional and cosmetic benefits as part of a comprehensive restorative treatment plan.

  •   Restore Tooth Strength: Crowns can reinforce teeth that have been weakened by decay, fractures, large fillings, or other damage.
  •   Replace Missing Teeth: Bridges can fill the space left by one or more missing teeth.
  •   Improve Chewing & Speaking: Restoring damaged or missing teeth can make everyday eating and speaking more comfortable.
  •   Support Proper Alignment:
    Replacing a missing tooth can help prevent neighbouring teeth from gradually shifting into the empty space.
  •   Natural-Looking Results:
    Crowns and bridges can be custom-designed to complement the colour, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth.

The Dental Crown & Bridge Process

—

Every restoration begins with an evaluation of your individual needs. We'll determine whether a crown or bridge is appropriate and explain your treatment options before proceeding.

Comprehensive Examination

We'll examine your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health to determine the best approach for restoring or replacing your tooth.

Treatment Planning

We'll discuss your treatment goals and determine whether a crown, bridge, dental implant, or another restorative option is most appropriate for your situation.

Prepare Your Smile

For a crown or traditional bridge, the necessary teeth are carefully prepared to make room for the restoration. Impressions or other measurements are taken to ensure an accurate fit.

Place Your Restoration

Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, we'll carefully check its fit, appearance, and bite before securely placing it in your mouth.

When Might I Need a Dental Crown?

—

A crown may be recommended when a tooth has been significantly weakened or damaged and requires more protection than a filling or bonding can provide.

Common situations where a crown may be appropriate include:

  1.   A tooth with significant decay
  2.   A cracked or broken tooth
  3.   A severely worn-down tooth
  4.   A tooth with a large filling and limited remaining structure
  5.   A tooth following root canal treatment
  6.   A dental implant that requires a crown
  7.   A tooth that is severely misshapen or discoloured
  8.   A tooth that needs to support a dental bridge

Not every damaged tooth requires a crown. When possible, we'll recommend the most conservative treatment that can provide the necessary strength and protection while preserving your natural tooth structure.

When Might I Need a Dental Bridge?

—

A dental bridge may be an option when one or more teeth are missing and the surrounding teeth or dental implants can provide appropriate support.

Leaving a missing tooth untreated can allow neighbouring teeth to shift and may affect your bite and ability to chew comfortably. Replacing the missing tooth with a bridge can restore the appearance and function of your smile.

Depending on your oral health, the location of the missing tooth, and your individual goals, a dental implant or another tooth-replacement option may be a better choice. We'll explain your options and help you determine the most appropriate solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

—


What is a dental crown?

  • A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers the visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. It can restore the tooth's shape, strength, function, and appearance while helping protect it from further damage.

When do I need a dental crown?

  • A crown may be recommended for a tooth that has significant decay, a fracture, extensive wear, a large filling, or insufficient remaining tooth structure to support a filling. Crowns may also be used following root canal treatment, to restore dental implants, or to support a dental bridge.

What is a dental bridge?

  • A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. The replacement tooth or teeth are supported by neighbouring teeth or dental implants, depending on the type of bridge and your individual treatment plan.

Can a dental bridge replace more than one tooth?

  • Yes. A bridge can replace one or several consecutive missing teeth when there are suitable supporting teeth or implants available. Your dentist will assess your oral health to determine whether a bridge is appropriate.

Will my crown or bridge look natural?

  • Modern crowns and bridges can be custom-designed to closely complement the colour, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Your dentist will consider the appearance of your smile as well as the function of the restoration.

How long do dental crowns and bridges last?

  • The lifespan of a crown or bridge varies depending on factors such as oral hygiene, bite forces, daily habits, and the condition of the supporting teeth. Good home care and regular dental visits can help maintain your restoration and identify problems early.

Can a crowned tooth still get a cavity?

  • Yes. While the crown itself cannot decay, the natural tooth underneath or around the edge of the crown can still develop decay. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups remain important.

How long do dental crowns and bridges last?

  • Brush your teeth twice daily and clean carefully underneath the bridge using floss, a floss threader, or an interdental cleaning device. Your dental team can demonstrate the best technique for keeping your bridge and surrounding teeth clean.

Is a dental bridge better than a dental implant?

  • Both bridges and dental implants can replace missing teeth, but they work differently. A bridge uses neighbouring teeth or implants for support, while a dental implant replaces the missing tooth root and supports an individual restoration. We'll help you compare your options based on your oral health and treatment goals.
