Whether you’re a busy professional, a caring parent, or an adult seeking a renewed smile, our experienced dentists can guide you through choosing the best crown material for your needs.
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, sometimes called “caps,” are tooth-shaped restorations permanently cemented onto damaged or weakened teeth. Dental crowns in Vaughan are a versatile solution for a variety of concerns, including:
- Repairing Cracked or Broken Teeth: A crown protects the tooth structure from further damage and restores chewing function.
- Restoring Extensive Cavities: When a large cavity weakens the tooth, a crown provides additional support and prevents future decay.
- Replacing Large Fillings: A crown offers a more durable and long-lasting solution if a large filling weakens the tooth structure.
- Protecting Root Canaled Teeth: A crown strengthens a tooth after root canal treatment, preventing future fractures.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Dental crowns can improve the appearance of discoloured, misshapen, or misaligned teeth.
My City Dental's Commitment to Choice
At My City Dental, we understand that every patient has unique needs and preferences. That’s why we offer a variety of crown materials, each with its advantages:
- Ceramic Crowns: These crowns offer excellent aesthetics, mimicking the natural appearance of teeth. They are a popular choice for front teeth or apparent areas.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: These crowns combine strength and aesthetics. A metal base provides durability, while a porcelain layer provides a natural look. They are a good option for both front and back teeth.
- Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia crowns are known for their strength, biocompatibility, and natural appearance. They are a good choice for patients with metal allergies or those seeking a highly aesthetic crown for any area of the mouth.
- Metal Crowns: While not as aesthetically pleasing as other options, metal crowns offer exceptional durability and affordability. They are often used for back teeth that experience a lot of chewing pressure.
The Dental Crown Procedure at My City Dental
Our dentists will work closely with you to determine the best crown material and personalize the process. Here’s a general overview of what to expect:
- 1. Consultation: Our dentist will examine your tooth, discuss your concerns, and recommend the most suitable crown material.
- 2. Tooth Preparation: Minimal tooth enamel is removed to create space for the crown. If necessary, local anaesthesia is used to ensure comfort.
- 3. Impression and Temporary Crown: An impression is taken of your tooth to create a custom-made crown. A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth until the permanent crown is ready.
- 4. Crown Placement: The permanent crown is placed and cemented onto your tooth. Your dentist will check the fit and ensure your bite feels comfortable.
Dental Crowns Cost
The cost of a dental crown can vary depending on the material used, the complexity of the case, and your insurance coverage. At My City Dental, we offer a transparent pricing structure and work with most major insurance providers to make crown treatment affordable. We encourage you to schedule a consultation for a personalized quote.

Thanks to local anaesthesia, the crown placement procedure is typically painless. You may experience mild sensitivity after the procedure, but this usually resolves within a few days.
