Dental Crowns
East York

Dental crowns, or caps as they are often referred to, are common dental restorations that cover, or fully ‘cap’, damaged teeth to improve the appearance and health of your teeth. Whether from disease, decay, an accident, wear and tear, stains, or damage, dental crowns can help restore your smile to what it once was. Even extreme damage that seems beyond repair may be corrected with a dental crown. Crowns are made using a variety of materials, including gold alloy, porcelain, zirconia or a mixture of these. Dolphin Dental will work closely with you to choose the appropriate crown for your situation.

The main difference between a crown and other dental restorations like fillings or inlays and onlays, is that a crown covers the entire tooth that is visible above the gum line and becomes the new outer surface of your tooth. Dental crowns are ideal for teeth with damage, decay, large existing restorations, or teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy.
