Dental Crowns are an Excellent Way to Preserve Your Natural Teeth

Posted By: Dr. Rina M. Kotecha | Published On: Dec 1, 2022 | Dental Crowns

If you have a damaged tooth, it doesn’t have to be extracted. A dental crown or a cap is a tooth-shaped cover used by dentists to protect a damaged tooth and improve its appearance. While dental crowns can be made from metal, Dr. Rina Kotecha and the team at Dentistry On 10 in Mississauga, Ontario, prefer porcelain because it can be colour-matched to mimic your natural enamel. Once in place, our porcelain dental crowns are virtually undetectable and restore your smile to its original state, if not better.

How a dental crown preserves your tooth

When you have extensive tooth damage or decay, a dental filling or onlay may not be sufficient to fix your tooth. In such cases, dentists prefer dental caps to maintain the structural integrity of your tooth while improving its appearance.

Unlike dental veneers, dental crowns cover your tooth’s biting surface all the way to your gum line. If you want to figure out how a crown fits over your tooth, think of slipping a thimble over the end of the pencil. In the same way a thimble encases the eraser on your pencil, a dental crown does the same to your tooth.

Dental Crowns Before After — Porcelain crowns are “caps” that cover the teeth. Crowns are indicated for very large fillings that are risk of breaking. In this case old, worn out gold cronws are replaced with tooth coloured porcelain crowns.

The many uses of dental crowns

Crowns do more than just cover your teeth. At Dentistry On 10, our dental team may recommend a dental crown to address numerous dental problems, including:

Holding a cracked or broken tooth together
Covering a dental implant
Anchoring a dental bridge in place
Masking a misshapen or severely discoloured tooth
Replacing a worn-out filling

If you want to experience the “magic” of dental crowns, you only need to commit to at least two dental appointments. During the first visit, we determine your eligibility for a crown, prepare your tooth, and take bite impressions used by our lab technicians to manufacture well-fitting crowns. During your second appointment, we will install your new crown using dental cement. That’s all it takes to rebuild your smile with a dental crown.

Hi, before I come to see Doctor Rina and her amazing staff, I was actually someone that had not gone to the dentist for a while because I was so stressed and very worried and anxious about it.
I had been recommended about her from other people and kept in the back of my mind. I finally made the call and from the first call the reception was absolutely amazing and made me feel at home. I let them know right away, I was really anxious. This is when I came in to see the doctor, Doctor Rena was amazing. She went through everything with me. I wouldn’t even smile when I walked in, she noticed I wouldn’t smile. I had had temporary caps on my front teeth for a really, really long time, so she took me through what her options were and it wasn’t good enough that it was just like here’s ABC. She wanted to make sure that we had gone too. A specialist to make sure mines a little bit more, more, issues. Having had root canal treatments on my front teeth and I went ahead, came back and again she sat down with me and gave me all of my options. What’s best for me? What can we do? What can we expect long term? Everyone here is so nice and warm they from the time I walked in for all my appointments they were all. How are you, Paula? How’s everything going? And you just feel like you’re part of a family and made me really feel at ease within a month and a half, She had me smiling like I am now. It was great, my friends, my family, my work people. They all notice exactly just how much more confident I am that I can smile. And honestly, it’s with her and because of the team here. And I found a place I can come back to and now really put my dental health as a priority. So, I definitely recommend her if there’s anything that you’ve left or you just need help on or you’re just looking for a place that you can come and feel comfortable. I definitely say, come to see Doctor Rina.
