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, my name is Naren. I have been coming to dentistry on 10 for at least five years, probably a lot longer than that. I first heard about Doctor Rena, through a friend of mine who was my roommate back in college and the, the, thing that attracted me to her right off the bat is she went to Harvard of course, you know Harvard is one of the top schools in the world, so you know studying at Harvard and Learning dentistry Harvard, I’ve never met anybody who went to Harvard, so that was the number one thing. But when I came here, it’s not the Harvard that I ended up staying here for. It’s because she’s a very caring person and she has a team that really is caring. So, for example, you know I, I, have some health conditions and you know taking care of my gums is really, really, important and I’m like not that good at taking care of myself. So you know she just, just, stuck with me, just kept at me and, you know, just taught me things and talk to me about things and you know. And when I did, you know, kind of mess up and you know, get gum disease again. You know she you know, stuck with me. So, like for me personally, I know people come for dentistry for lots of reasons, some people you know, care about their smile and things like that. For me personally, it’s the health because I have a history of health issues in my family and I know the importance of, you know, taking care of your gums and you overall mouth and health so I would strongly recommend Doctor Rena if you really care about your health. If you really want somebody who’s not just trying to, you know, give you things you don’t need, but really, who’s trying to focus on what’s good for you, helping you achieve your goals. She’s very caring, very, very patient, very, very, gentle and, and, she’s there for you. So, it’s almost like having a partner in health who’s working with you to make your life better. So, we all need it, and especially as we get older when we are in our 40s and 50s, we need to take care of our health and without doctor Rena I don’t think I would have the comes I have and I don’t think I would be working on my health. Thank you very much Doctor Rena and I would, absolutely without a hesitation, recommend anybody and my entire family comes here as well as my two kids and My wife. So, thank you for being an amazing dentist and thank you for caring about people who live in the neighbourhood and their health.
