Restore Damaged Teeth With A Natural-Looking Crown
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a tooth that has been weakened, broken, discoloured, affected by decay, or reshaped after a root canal. Designed to match the colour, size, and shape of your surrounding teeth, a crown can help restore your smile while providing lasting protection. With proper care, dental crowns can remain functional for many years. Crowns can also support a dental bridge, complete a dental implant, or be incorporated into select cosmetic dental treatments.
What To Expect When Getting A Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown generally involves two dental appointments. During each visit, your dentist will carefully prepare your tooth, create a comfortable fit, and ensure your final restoration looks and functions naturally.
Here Is What You Can Expect:
Examining And Preparing The Tooth
Your treatment begins with a thorough dental examination to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding area. We will clean and prepare the tooth so there is enough space for the crown to fit securely. If decay, cracks, or other damage are present, the affected areas will be carefully removed before the tooth is restored.
Creating Your Custom Crown
Once your tooth is prepared, we will take an impression of your teeth to help create a crown that fits comfortably and complements your smile. A temporary crown may be placed to protect the prepared tooth while your permanent restoration is being made. For an implant-supported crown, an impression of the implant and nearby teeth will be taken so our dental lab can create a custom restoration.
Securing Your Permanent Crown
At your next appointment, your temporary crown will be removed and your permanent crown will be carefully positioned. Once we confirm the fit, appearance, and bite are comfortable, the crown will be securely attached with dental cement or, when appropriate, a small concealed screw. We will then polish the restoration and make any final adjustments for a comfortable, natural-feeling result.
Dental Crown Costs In Mississauga
The amount you pay for a dental crown depends on your individual treatment needs, the type of restoration selected, and your insurance coverage. While dental insurance may cover part of the cost, your remaining portion will vary depending on your specific plan. Without insurance, the total cost can also differ based on the materials and procedures involved. Although cost is an important consideration, a dental crown can be a practical way to restore a damaged tooth and protect it for the future.
What Can Affect The Cost Of A Dental Crown?
- The crown material and restoration selected.
- The condition and location of the tooth being treated.
- How many crowns are needed to restore your smile.
- Whether the crown is part of a larger treatment, such as a dental bridge.
- Any additional supplies, procedures, or equipment required for your treatment.
Because every patient has different dental needs, an exact crown price cannot be determined accurately over the phone. An in-person examination allows your dentist to assess your tooth, discuss suitable treatment options, and provide a personalized estimate. If you have dental insurance, we can also provide documentation or a treatment estimate that you can submit to your insurance provider to help you understand your expected out-of-pocket expenses before proceeding.
