Tooth Restoration That Looks And Feels Natural

A dental crown is a restorative dental treatment for repairing damaged or stained teeth, as well as teeth recently treated by a root canal.

Also known as a tooth cap, a dental crown is made of synthetic material and is fitted over the tooth to create a natural appearance. Doctors recommend crowns to repair teeth, but they’re also used for a variety of dental applications, like:

Your current oral health.
How many fillings you’ll need.
Where the cavity is located in your mouth.
Whether or not any new x-rays are required.
The amount of time required by the dental team to meet your specific needs.
The equipment and supplies that needed to perform the procedure.

A dental crown is also a long-lasting solution. You can expect a crown to last up to 15 years with proper care!

The Dental Crown Process

Dental fillings are such common preventative procedures that most insurance companies provide significant coverage for them. With a typical insurance plan, expect to pay between from $0 to $100+ for filling. If you don’t have dental insurance, you could pay anywhere from $120 to $300 or more, especially if you require multiple fillings at once.

When we determine the actual cost of your treatment we consider a few important factors:

Examining and Preparing the Tooth

Before performing any dental work, your dentist must examine the condition of your teeth. This process includes checking the health of your teeth and cleaning them to prepare them for the tooth caps.

If a tooth is broken or damaged by a cavity, the doctor will remove the damaged areas so the crown can effectively protect the tooth from further decay.

Shaping the Crown

Once your doctor has prepared the teeth, they will use dental putty to make an impression of your teeth. We send this impression to a lab, where a team of specialists will use it to construct your porcelain crowns. We’ll then provide you with a temporary dental cap until your next appointment.

Placing the Crown

At your second appointment, we will remove your temporary crown and replace it with a permanent crown. The dentist secures the crown to the tooth with a durable dental cement or a hidden screw. To complete the process, the dentist polishes the crown and makes any necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort and security.

Types Of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are typically made from one of four materials: metal, ceramic, porcelain, or resin. The type of dental crown you choose will depend on your preference and specific dental condition. Consult with your doctor to help determine which material best suits your needs.

All-Resin Dental Crowns As the name implies, all-resin dental crowns are made entirely from resin. All-resin crowns look great and are more affordable than the other crowns on this list. But beware– resin crowns tend to wear down quicker than the other types over time.
Metal Dental Crowns Metal crowns are made from one of four common metals: gold, palladium, nickel, and chromium. These are the most resilient dental crowns. They rarely chip or break and don’t wear down over time. The only drawback to metal dental crowns is their appearance. Due to their unnatural look, we find them better suited to less visible teeth, like molars.
All-Ceramic & All-Porcelain Dental Crowns Best suited for front teeth, all-porcelain and all-ceramic dental crowns provide the most natural look and feel. While not as strong as metal crowns, ceramic or porcelain is an excellent alternative for patients with metal allergies who still value strength and longevity in their dental crowns.
Pressed Ceramic Dental Crowns Pressed ceramic dental crowns are a best-of-both-worlds option. This crown features a hard core of pressed ceramic, providing ample strength and resilience, but it’s capped with porcelain to appear more like a natural tooth. As a result, pressed ceramic dental crowns are both long-lasting and natural-looking.

Cost Of Dental Crowns In Mississauga

The out-of-pocket cost for a dental crown can vary widely from patient to patient. With a typical insurance plan, a single crown averages about $200 to $600+. Without insurance, a reasonable figure for a crown is about $800 to $1200 and up.

So what goes into determining the cost of a dental crown?

The type of crown and the material that is used
The location and complexity of the procedure
The number of crowns that may be required
Combining the crown with other dental appliances like bridges
Supplies and equipment required for your specific treatment
