Your Visit

Your Crown in
4 Simple Steps.

Our streamlined crown process keeps you informed and comfortable at every stage — from the initial consultation to your final, natural-looking restoration.

01

Consultation

We assess the tooth, discuss your options, and create a treatment plan with all costs outlined clearly before any work begins.

02

Tooth Preparation

The tooth is shaped under local anaesthetic and a digital scan taken. A temporary crown is placed the same day.

03

Crown Fabrication

Your permanent crown is precision-crafted by a specialist dental lab to exactly match your tooth shape, size, and colour.

04

Final Placement

Your permanent crown is bonded in place, bite-adjusted for perfect fit, and polished for a natural, comfortable result.

Natural Look

Porcelain crowns are shade-matched to blend invisibly with your surrounding natural teeth.

FAQ

Frequently
Asked Questions.

Everything you need to know about dental crowns.

When do I need a dental crown?

A crown is recommended when a tooth is cracked, severely decayed, weakened after a root canal, or broken in a way that a filling cannot fully restore. Crowns are also used to anchor a dental bridge or to protect a tooth at high risk of fracture.

How long does a dental crown last?

With proper care — regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings — a dental crown can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Avoiding biting hard objects (ice, hard candy, nails) and wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth will significantly extend its lifespan.

How many appointments does getting a crown take?

A traditional crown takes two visits: one for preparation and a temporary crown, and a second to bond the permanent crown. At your first appointment we take digital impressions so the permanent crown is precision-fabricated by our dental lab.

Does getting a crown hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic so you shouldn't feel pain. Some sensitivity around the prepared tooth and gumline is normal for a few days after each appointment. Over-the-counter pain relief is typically all that's needed.

Does insurance cover dental crowns?

Most Canadian dental insurance plans cover a portion of crown costs when the crown is medically necessary (due to decay, fracture, or post-root-canal restoration). We directly bill all major insurers and will confirm your coverage before treatment begins.

What type of crown material do you use?

We offer porcelain, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns depending on the tooth location and patient preference. For back teeth, strength is prioritised; for front teeth, aesthetics. Dr. Pisanu or Dr. Kooner will recommend the best material for your situation.
