Flawless tooth restoration with dental crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth that has been damaged, treated by root canal therapy, or is misshapen. These crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Crafted for durability, they can last over 15 years with proper care. Crowns are often used to support a dental bridge, complete a dental implant, or enhance the appearance of your smile for cosmetic purposes. At Springdale Family Dental, we ensure that your crown is tailored to match your unique needs and preferences, providing long-lasting results.
How do dental crowns work?
Getting a dental crown typically requires two visits to your dentist. Here’s what you can expect:
Examining and Preparing the Tooth
The first step is a thorough dental examination, where Dr. Harpaul Anand will check your tooth and ensure it’s in good condition for the procedure. If the tooth has damage or decay, it will be cleaned and reshaped to allow for a proper crown fit, protecting it from future damage.
Creating the Crown
Next, we take an impression of your tooth using dental putty, which will help our lab create a custom-made porcelain crown. A temporary crown will be fitted to your tooth during this time, ensuring comfort and protection. If you’re replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant, we’ll take an impression of both the implant and surrounding teeth to craft a crown that fits perfectly.
Placing the Crown
During your second appointment, your temporary crown will be replaced with a permanent one. Dr. Harpaul Anand will secure the crown with durable dental cement or, if needed, a hidden screw. After the placement, the crown will be polished and adjusted to ensure a perfect fit and maximum comfort.
Cost of Dental Crowns in Brampton at Springdale Family Dental
The cost of a dental crown can vary significantly depending on a variety of factors. For patients with dental insurance, a typical crown usually falls within the range of $200 to $600+. Without insurance, the cost typically ranges from $800 to $1200 or more. While the price may give you pause, many patients find that the benefits of restoring the function and appearance of their smile make dental crowns a valuable investment.
What affects the price of a dental crown?
- The type of crown and the materials used

Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you need a crown following a root canal largely depends on where the treated tooth is located. For teeth at the back of the mouth, such as molars and premolars, which are essential for chewing, crowns are generally necessary to restore full function. On the other hand, front teeth, such as incisors and canines, may not always require a crown since they are less involved in chewing.
Crowns offer greater durability than fillings, especially for teeth with a large biting surface. Molars are often subjected to significant pressure from chewing or clenching, which can cause fillings to wear out or even fall out. A crown, made from a single unbroken surface, provides enhanced strength and longevity, making it ideal for such high-pressure areas.
Dental crowns not only restore the function of a damaged tooth, but they are also designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are custom-coloured and contoured to match your smile, so much so that many people may not even be able to tell which tooth is the crown. With a crown in place, you can chew without discomfort and regain confidence in your smile.
A dental post is a supporting structure that helps anchor a crown in place, especially when a tooth has significant damage or has lost a lot of its structure. The post is inserted into the root canal to provide stability and ensure the crown fits securely and functions properly.
Getting a crown is typically as comfortable as getting a filling. At Springdale Family Dental, we take extra care to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the process. Afterward, you might experience mild sensitivity or soreness, but these usually subside quickly.
With proper care, dental crowns can last for 15 years or more. In some cases, they can even last up to 30 years, depending on your oral hygiene and the materials used. Regular checkups and proper maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your crown.
Maintaining your dental crown is just like caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are key to keeping both your crown and the surrounding gums healthy. Don’t forget to schedule cleanings and checkups to ensure that your crown stays in excellent condition.
