Cosmetic Crowns In Downtown Toronto
Not every tooth can be fixed with a filling or veneer. Sometimes it needs something sturdier. A crown covers the entire tooth, giving it the strength to chew again and the look of a healthy, natural tooth. Patients often ask about crowns when a filling has failed, a tooth has cracked, or discoloration makes it stand out in photos.
What Cosmetic Crowns Can Help With
Crowns are commonly used to save teeth that feel fragile after years of dental work. They can restore teeth that are chipped or misshapen, and they can hide deep stains that whitening won’t touch. Because the crown surrounds the full tooth, it protects it while improving how it looks.
How The Process Works
At the first visit, the tooth is carefully shaped and either an impression or a scan is taken. You’ll usually leave with a temporary crown to keep things covered. A few weeks later, the permanent crown is ready. On that second visit, it’s adjusted for bite and color, then bonded in place. Once it’s done, it should feel like part of your smile.
Living With A Crown
Crowns don’t need special treatment. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings are enough. They’re made to last, but like natural teeth, they’re not indestructible. Chewing ice or opening packages with your teeth can still cause problems, so it’s best to avoid those habits.
Why People Choose Crowns
For many, it’s about function—they want to chew without worrying that a tooth will break. For others, it’s about appearance and being able to smile naturally again. Often it’s both. A crown takes one problem tooth out of the spotlight and helps the whole smile feel balanced.
