Do I need tooth cap services to restore my smile?
At Huron Dental Centre, Dr. Jameela Jifri and her associates in Mississauga, Ontario, ensure patients can restore their smile after trauma, decay, or disease. Teeth that have been negatively impacted can be fixed with a dental crown, also known as a “tooth cap.” With years of experience, our dental crown specialist can determine if you might benefit from a cap over a single tooth or if alternative options are better suited for your unique situation.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown essentially “caps” over a natural tooth to offer strength and protection on a tooth that has lost significant structure, undergone root canal therapy, or is impacted severely by decay or trauma. These restorations are made of porcelain, a material often used in dentistry thanks to its ability to mimic the natural appearance of tooth enamel in colour and opacity. Dental crowns are bonded over teeth and can last many years with appropriate care and regular monitoring and evaluation with a dental team.
Do I need a dental crown?
Tooth caps may be recommended for patients in the following situations:
- Large areas of decay that cannot be effectively treated with composite resin fillings alone.
- Patients who have had recent root canal therapy or endodontic treatment on a tooth that has caused weakening and brittleness.
- Covering the abutment of an implant to replace a single tooth.
- Bonding to false teeth called pontics to create a dental bridge, a dental restoration used to replace one or more teeth in a row.
- Covering teeth that are damaged by trauma or disease.
