Dental Crowns
Durable, natural-looking restorations to protect and strengthen damaged teeth.
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully covers and protects a tooth that has been weakened, damaged, or can no longer be restored with a filling. It restores the tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance so you can bite, chew, and smile comfortably again.
Crowns are commonly recommended for teeth that are cracked, broken, worn down over time, or have large fillings that have compromised the remaining tooth structure. They are also used after root canal treatment to protect the tooth long term, and on top of dental implants to replace missing teeth in a way that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Key Benefits of Dental Crowns
Patients often choose crowns because they offer both immediate and long-term improvements, including:
What Results You Can Expect
One of the most noticeable changes after getting a crown is how natural everything feels again. Modern crowns are carefully designed to match your surrounding teeth in colour, shape, and translucency, so they blend seamlessly into your smile.
Most patients experience:
- A stronger tooth that feels secure when biting and chewing
- A more comfortable bite with less hesitation or sensitivity
- A natural-looking result that blends in with surrounding teeth
- Improved confidence when smiling, speaking, and eating
In many cases, patients quickly forget which tooth was treated because it feels so integrated into their natural bite and smile.
What to Expect During Treatment
The process of getting a crown is designed to be straightforward and comfortable. It typically involves preparing the tooth, taking precise impressions, and placing a temporary crown while your final restoration is made.
Once your permanent crown is ready, it is carefully fitted and adjusted to ensure a comfortable bite and natural feel.
At Beacon Hill Dental, we focus on creating crowns that are strong, long-lasting, and beautifully natural-looking, so you can get back to eating, smiling, and living without discomfort or worry.
