Dental Crowns in North York
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are a custom, tooth-shaped “cap” designed to be placed over a compromised tooth to restore its original shape, size, and structural strength while significantly improving its overall appearance. These durable restorations are meticulously crafted to match your natural smile, and when they are permanently cemented into place, they fully encase the entire visible portion of the tooth located at and above the gum line. For patients seeking to protect and strengthen their smiles, we offer high quality dental crowns in our North York clinic that provide long term stability and a seamless aesthetic result.
All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide a superior natural color match compared to any other restorative material, making them an ideal choice for restoring front teeth. These restorations are often the preferred option for patients with specific metal allergies or sensitivities who require a biocompatible solution. While they offer unmatched aesthetics and mimic the translucency of natural enamel, it is important to note that they may not possess the same structural durability as porcelain-fused-to-metal varieties, and they can occasionally cause slightly more wear on the opposing natural teeth than metal or resin alternatives.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns are highly reliable and relatively aesthetic restorations that have been the gold standard in dentistry for more than 40 years. These crowns effectively combine the best of both worlds by utilizing a substructure made of precious or noble metals, such as gold or platinum, which ensures a precise fit and exceptional strength. This metal base is then bonded to a porcelain exterior to provide a natural look, making it an excellent choice for those seeking durable dental crowns in our North York clinic that can withstand the heavy pressure of chewing and last for many years.
