Dental Crowns and Bridges in Thornhill

Overview

Dental crowns and bridges are time-tested restorative solutions designed to repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones. These custom-made prosthetics not only restore function but also enhance the appearance of your smile, helping you maintain a strong and healthy bite.

Dental Crowns: Strengthening and Protecting Teeth

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers and protects a weakened or damaged tooth. It restores the tooth’s structure, function, and appearance while preventing further damage.

When is a Crown needed?

Our Thornhill dentist may recommend a dental crown if you have:

A tooth weakened by decay or large fillings

A cracked, chipped, or worn-down tooth

A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy

A missing tooth that needs support for a dental bridge

A cosmetic concern that requires an aesthetic enhancement

Types of Dental Crown

Crowns are made from various materials, each offering unique benefits:

1

Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns

Blend seamlessly with natural teeth for an aesthetically pleasing result.

2

Metal Crowns (Gold, Alloy, or Stainless Steel)

Known for their durability and strength.

3

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

Offer a balance of strength and natural appearance.

4

Acrylic or Resin Crowns

Often used as temporary crowns or for patients with metal allergies.

Our team will help you choose the best material based on your dental needs and aesthetic preferences.

Dental Bridges: Replacing Missing Teeth

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by using adjacent teeth or implants for support. It consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, anchored by abutment teeth on either side.

Why Choose a Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges offer several advantages, including:

Preventing neighboring teeth from shifting into empty spaces

Restoring the ability to chew and speak properly

Enhancing the appearance of your smile

Maintaining proper bite alignment

Types of Dental Bridges

Just like crowns, bridges are available in different materials:

1

Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns

Best for a natural look that blends with surrounding teeth.

2

Metal or Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Bridges

Offer durability with an aesthetically pleasing finish.

3

Implant-Supported Bridges

A strong and long-lasting solution for replacing multiple missing teeth without relying on natural teeth for support.
