Dentistry in a Comfortable Environment that Feels Like Home

Dental Crowns (Caps)

A crown is a covering that sits over the top of the tooth creating a tooth surface to protect, cover, seal and strengthen your tooth. Crowns are used in many different scenarios as they are effective and often allow us to save a tooth rather than turning to implants.Dental Crowns

Situations where a crown may be the solution include:
  • Larger fillings that have broken down or have formed decay around them may need a crown to save the tooth
  • A cracked tooth may need a crown to hold it together. Be careful not to wait too long as an untreated cracked tooth can become sensitive or eventually break
  • Teeth that are very sensitive, either from a lot of 'wear', or from receded gums, sometimes require crowns to seal and protect the teeth from hot and cold sensitivity
  • A tooth that has broken may be too weak to hold a filling. A crown will hold the tooth together and prevent it from breaking again. If the fracture is too deep, Root Canal Therapy may be required before the tooth is crowned
  • A tooth that has undergone Root Canal Therapy will often need a crown to properly seal and protect the tooth

A crown may be the solution to saving that tooth; Dr. Croppo and his Newmarket dental team will evaluate your needs depending on your oral health and the condition of your teeth. To request an appointment fill in the form below and we will contact you to confirm the date you choose.
