When a tooth is damaged, weakened, or aesthetically flawed, a dental crown can restore its strength and appearance. Crowns provide a protective cover for teeth that need extra support, ensuring durability and a natural look. At Georgian Shores Dental Centre, we offer custom dental crowns designed to enhance your oral health and smile.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a cap that’s put on a damaged tooth to restore its size, shape, and function. Crowns can be used for a variety of reasons, including covering a weakened tooth, protecting a tooth after a root canal, or improving the look of a discoloured tooth.
Types of Dental Crowns
- Porcelain Crowns – Blend naturally with teeth, making them an excellent choice for front teeth.
- Metal Crowns – Made from gold or other alloys, they are extremely strong and are frequently used for molars.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns – Offer a combination of strength and a natural appearance.
- Zirconia Crowns – Known for their strength and aesthetics, these crowns provide a long-lasting solution.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Restores Strength and Function – Protects weakened teeth from further damage.

What to Expect During the Process
- Initial Consultation – The dentist examines your tooth and discusses your options.

- Impressions and Temporary Crown – A mould is taken, and a temporary crown is placed.
- Final Crown Placement – Once the custom crown is ready, it is bonded to the tooth for a secure fit.
