A crown – also known as a cap – is a custom-made artificial restoration that permanently covers your teeth. It restores the appearance, function and shape of your teeth. Often made of porcelain, dental crowns act as a durable solution for tooth decay, cracks and discolorations.
Dental crowns are a long-term option for treating dental health issues as they can last for up to 15 years. They protect your teeth from further damage if you are experiencing tooth decay. They also support your teeth and healing process if you have recently had a root canal or dental implant procedure.
When you have chipped or cracked teeth, dental crowns will be placed over your tooth to visibly and physically revitalize your smile. Getting a crown when you need one will restore and often completely save your tooth’s shape, size and strength.
While there are different types of dental crowns, most of our patients choose a porcelain-finished crown because of its ability to blend right in with their existing smile.
If you are experiencing tooth decay or damage, contact us to create a treatment plan for you.

What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are permanently bonded to the tooth and are commonly used after root canal treatment, large fillings, fractures, or to support a dental bridge.
At The Plaza Dental Centre, we use durable, natural-looking materials—including porcelain and zirconia—to ensure your crown blends seamlessly with your smile.
When Do You Need a Crown?
Our Toronto dentists may recommend a crown if you have:
- A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
- A tooth weakened by a large filling or decay
- Severe tooth wear or grinding damage
- A tooth that has had a root canal
- A misshapen or discolored tooth needing cosmetic improvement
- A dental implant needing a restoration
- A tooth supporting a dental bridge
Dental crowns not only protect your tooth but also restore full functionality for chewing, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
