Restoring Strength and Beauty to Damaged Teeth
Dental crowns are a versatile solution for restoring weak or damaged teeth, bringing back their appearance, structure, and function. At King Dental Center in Alliston, we offer high-quality, custom-made dental crowns to help patients regain confidence in their smiles. Whether due to decay, injury, or wear, dental crowns provide a durable, natural-looking option to protect and enhance your smile for years to come.
A dental crown is a cap placed over a weakened or damaged tooth to restore its size, shape, strength, and appearance. By covering the entire visible part of the tooth above the gum line, crowns provide a protective barrier that reinforces the tooth’s structure. They can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials, closely mimicking the look and function of natural teeth.
Dental crowns are often used for both restorative and cosmetic purposes. With proper care, they are highly durable and can last for many years, providing a reliable way to restore a beautiful, functional smile.
We offer different types of crowns, each with distinct benefits, depending on the location, purpose, and aesthetic needs of the tooth. Our team will help you choose the best material to suit your specific requirements.
Teeth cleanings offer numerous benefits beyond simply keeping your teeth clean. Here are some of the ways that regular cleanings contribute to optimal oral health and overall well-being:

Custom-made crowns blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing a balanced and attractive smile. They can enhance the alignment, colour, and shape of visible teeth.

The process of getting a dental crown generally requires two visits. Here’s what to expect during each step of the procedure:
During the initial visit, we will examine the affected tooth and take X-rays to assess its condition. The tooth is then reshaped to fit the crown. If the tooth has extensive decay or damage, we may need to build up its structure to provide adequate support for the crown.
After the tooth is ready, we take an impression, which is sent to a dental lab to create a custom-fitted crown. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth until your final crown is ready.
During the second appointment, once your custom crown is ready, we remove the temporary crown and check the fit and color of the permanent one. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure an ideal fit. Once everything is perfect, the crown is cemented in place, restoring the tooth’s appearance and function.
If you have a damaged, discolored, or weakened tooth, a dental crown could be the ideal solution to strengthen and enhance your smile. At King Dental Center in Alliston, we offer high-quality, custom-made crowns tailored to your specific needs.

With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, or even longer. Regular dental check-ups and maintaining good oral hygiene are essential to extending the lifespan of your crown.
Getting a dental crown is generally not a painful process. Local anesthesia is used during tooth preparation to ensure your comfort. You may experience mild sensitivity afterward, but this typically resolves within a few days.
Taking care of a crown is much like caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits are crucial. To avoid damaging the crown, try not to bite down on hard objects.
