Crowns in North York

Crowns

At Hullmark Dental we help you achieve a healthy and confident smile and one of the ways we do that is through our Crowns service. Searching for “crowns in North York” can be overwhelming, so we try to make the process simple and transparent. We help you protect your teeth, restore their shape, and have long-term oral health. Crowns can protect your smile from further damage and help you feel more comfortable eating and speaking. Whether you have a decayed tooth, a cracked tooth or a tooth that needs extra support, we have the technology and experience to help you every step of the way.

What are Crowns?

Crowns, also known as “caps,” are custom-made restorations that fully cover or encase a damaged tooth. They are usually recommended when a tooth has extensive decay, a large filling or has had a root canal. A crown reinforces the tooth structure, protects it from further damage and restores its appearance to blend in with the rest of your natural teeth. At Hullmark Dental we design each new crown to match your natural shape and bite so your entire tooth is fully protected. Our dentists use local anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure and help you maintain good oral care.

These solutions are key to restoring and preserving your oral health. Whether you need a dental bridge to replace missing teeth, a root canal to save an infected tooth or dental implants to address more extensive tooth loss, crowns are often a part of the solution. A crown can be an artificial tooth placed over a dental implant or used to reinforce a weakened tooth after a root canal or tooth damage. Many patients find that crowns help them avoid dentures or more complicated treatments by preserving as much of the decayed tooth as possible. At Hullmark Dental in North York we offer full dentistry services to treat, protect and restore your damaged teeth so you can have a stronger smile.

Our Crowns Services

When it comes to crowns in North York, we tailor our care to your unique needs here at Hullmark Dental. We offer a range of high quality crown options from porcelain to gold so our patients get the best possible outcome. Our team works closely with a top-tier laboratory to ensure every crown is made to fit and look natural. We believe every mouth deserves attention so we consider many factors – bite and tooth alignment – to determine the best customized restoration for you. In two appointments we’ll place a temporary crown first and then secure a permanent crown once your final restoration is ready.

  • Porcelain Crowns
    Porcelain crowns are popular because they look like your natural teeth. They blend in with your existing teeth for a uniform smile. Plus porcelain is highly durable and stain resistant.
  • Gold Crowns
    Gold crowns have been used in dentistry for decades because of their strength. While they may not look exactly like your natural tooth, they are very gentle on the opposing teeth during biting and chewing. Patients who opt for gold crowns like their longevity and minimal removal of tooth structure required.
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
    PFM crowns combine the strength of a metal base with the aesthetics of porcelain on top. This type of crown offers durability and a natural appearance, a good balance of form and function. It’s often recommended for patients who want the natural look of porcelain but need the extra strength that metal offers.
  • All-Ceramic Crowns
    All-ceramic crowns have no metal and can match the color, shape and translucency of your other teeth almost perfectly. They’re great for patients who have metal allergies or are concerned about gum discoloration over time. These crowns require two appointments to complete to ensure proper fit and alignment.
  • Implant-Supported Crowns
    When a tooth is lost, a dental implant can replace the tooth root, and a custom-made crown is placed on top as the artificial tooth. This is ideal for patients who are missing teeth and want a stable long term solution that doesn’t involve a denture or dental bridge. Implant supported crowns restore function, maintain the integrity of your bite and help preserve bone in your jaw.

Benefits of Crowns

Crowns protect a damaged or decayed tooth from further harm. By covering the entire surface of the tooth, a crown prevents further decay, breakage, or infection, and helps preserve the tooth structure. They also enhance the tooth appearance to a natural shape and color that blends with your other teeth. A crown can also improve your bite, reduce pain or discomfort and prevent decay from spreading to other teeth. At Hullmark Dental we make sure each new crown is made with your smile, comfort and oral health in mind.

  • Protection Against Further Damage
    Crowns act as a protective cap for your tooth, shielding it from daily wear and tear. They help safeguard against fractures, decay and infection that can arise when a tooth is compromised. By covering the damaged tooth entirely, crowns reduce the likelihood of further damage.
  • Aesthetics
    A crown can be shaped and shaded to match your natural teeth for a uniform and attractive smile. This aesthetic boost can make you more confident in both professional and social settings. Whether you choose porcelain or gold, we always prioritize a pleasing result that suits your preferences.
  • Functionality
    Once placed, a crown can help you chew and speak more easily, just like your natural tooth once did. It restores your bite to a comfortable position so you don’t put strain on your jaw. So you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about pain or further tooth damage.
  • Longevity
    With proper dental care and regular check-ups, a crown can last for many years – sometimes even decades. High quality materials like porcelain or gold and expert craftsmanship ensure a durable solution. By investing in a crown now, you can potentially save time and money by avoiding more extensive procedures later.
  • Oral Health
    A crown not only covers and protects your damaged tooth but also plays a vital role in your overall oral health. By keeping your smile aligned and intact, you can prevent issues like shifting teeth or bite problems. Plus, when damaged teeth are properly treated, you lower the risk of painful infections or more invasive dentistry.

The Crowns Procedures at Hullmark Dental

Our crowns process takes two appointments to ensure you get a long-lasting custom-made restoration. The first visit includes tooth preparation, impressions, and a temporary crown to protect your tooth until the permanent one is ready. We send the impression to a top-tier laboratory where skilled technicians craft your new crown out of porcelain, gold or another suitable material. During the second visit, we remove the temporary crown, check the fit of the permanent crown, and cement it in place. Throughout this process we use a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort and do everything to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

  1. Consultation and Examination
    At your first appointment, we do a thorough examination of your tooth to determine if a crown is the right treatment. We also discuss any concerns or goals you have for your smile such as color or shape preferences. Our dentist will review your medical history and collaborate with your family doctor if needed, especially if there are underlying health considerations.
  2. Tooth Preparation
    Once we decide to go ahead with a crown, we prepare your damaged tooth by removing any decay and shaping the entire surface. This tooth shaping creates enough room for the crown to fit comfortably and ensures a secure placement that protects your mouth from infection. We take great care during removal of compromised areas to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
  3. Impressions
    After the tooth has been prepared, we take an impression (or digital scan) of the tooth and the surrounding area. This is crucial for creating a cap that matches your natural shape and bite. We also confirm the impression captures the correct dimensions so the laboratory can create a proper prosthetic for your smile.
  4. Temporary Crown Placement
    We fit a temporary crown over your prepared tooth to protect it between your two appointments. This temporary crown allows you to maintain normal function and prevents further damage or infection to your tooth. Although it’s not as strong as the permanent one, it’s an important step to keep you comfortable until your new crown is ready.
  5. Laboratory Fabrication
    Our top tier laboratory then uses the impressions to create your permanent crown. Depending on your needs, your crown can be made from porcelain, gold or other materials that suit your preference and the demands of your bite. Skilled technicians craft the new crown to ensure it fits precisely and looks natural in your mouth.
  6. Second Appointment (Crown Fitting and Cementation)
    At your second visit, we remove the temporary crown and clean the area. We then place the permanent crown and check the fit, the bite, and the aesthetics. If everything is good, we cement the crown in place to ensure a strong, lasting bond that will last for many years.

FAQs

Many of our patients have questions about crowns, from how long they last to what happens if they experience discomfort after the procedure. At Hullmark Dental we believe in patient education so you can feel confident about your treatment. We know that clarity and understanding help to alleviate fear and pain associated with dental work. By answering your questions, we want to make your experience smooth from consultation to your final check-up. Below are some of the most common questions about the crown procedure and other related services.

How long does a crown last?

A crown can last many years or even decades depending on the material used and how well you take care of it. Good dental care such as regular brushing, flossing and professional cleanings can help extend its life. Avoiding habits like chewing on ice or using your teeth to open packages also contributes to longevity. We recommend you visit our office for regular check-ups to catch any early signs of wear or complications.

Is the procedure painful?

We use local anesthetic to minimize any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Most patients describe the experience as similar to getting a filling. Afterward, you may have some sensitivity or tenderness in your gums but this usually subsides quickly. If you have prolonged discomfort, contact our office and we’ll determine the best way to treat it.

Can a crown fix a broken or severely decayed tooth?

Yes, crowns are designed to restore a damaged tooth by covering the entire surface. This not only helps to protect the tooth from further decay but also reinforces its structure so you can bite and chew normally. By placing a crown we can prevent infection from reaching the tooth’s interior. We can maintain your natural teeth, which supports overall oral health.

Do I need a root canal before getting a crown?

Not all patients who need a crown also need a root canal. A root canal is only necessary if the tooth’s pulp is infected or if there’s a severe issue that can’t be treated with a simpler dental procedure. Our dentist will evaluate your tooth damage to determine if a root canal is needed. If it is, we’ll do the root canal first and then the crown for a complete restoration.

Will my crown look natural?

Yes, we will match the color, shape, and size of the crown to your other teeth. Many things are considered, such as the shade of your surrounding teeth, your gum line, and the overall balance of your smile. So when the crown is in place it will look and feel like one of your teeth. We want you to leave feeling confident and happy with your new smile.
