About Dental Crowns in Windsor
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects the visible portion of a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are designed to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance while helping preserve its function.
You may be a candidate for a dental crown if you have a tooth that is cracked, significantly worn, weakened by decay, or requires additional protection after a root canal treatment. During your appointment, your dentist will assess the condition of your tooth and determine whether a crown is the most appropriate treatment option for your needs.
If you have a damaged tooth, discomfort when biting, a large filling, or concerns about the strength and appearance of a tooth, a dental assessment can help identify the right solution to protect your smile.

Protecting a Weakened Tooth
A crown can help strengthen and protect a tooth that has been weakened by decay, cracks, or significant wear.
Restoring a Damaged Tooth
Teeth affected by fractures, chips, or other damage may benefit from a crown to restore their shape and function.
Supporting a Tooth After Root Canal Treatment
After a root canal, a crown may be recommended to help protect the treated tooth and restore its strength.
Repairing Teeth with Large Fillings
When a tooth has lost significant structure due to a large filling, a crown may provide additional support and protection.
Improving Tooth Appearance
Crowns can restore the shape, colour, and overall appearance of teeth that are damaged or worn.
Replacing an Existing Crown
Over time, crowns may need to be replaced due to wear, damage, or changes in your oral health. Your dentist can assess whether a replacement is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a dental crown and a filling?
A filling is typically used to repair smaller areas of tooth decay or damage, while a crown covers the entire visible portion of a tooth to provide additional strength and protection when more structure has been affected.
How long does a dental crown last?
The lifespan of a dental crown depends on factors such as oral hygiene, biting forces, and regular dental care. Maintaining good oral health and attending routine visits can help support the longevity of your crown.
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
Your dentist will use appropriate methods to help keep you comfortable during the procedure. Some sensitivity or adjustment may occur after placement, but your dentist can provide guidance based on your situation.
How do I care for a tooth with a dental crown?
A crowned tooth should be cared for like a natural tooth with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Good oral hygiene helps protect the tooth and surrounding gums.
Can a dental crown fix a cracked tooth?
A crown may be recommended for certain cracked teeth to help protect and restore the tooth. The appropriate treatment depends on the location and severity of the crack.
What materials are dental crowns made from?
Dental crowns can be made from different materials, including porcelain and other dental materials. Your dentist will recommend an option based on factors such as the location of the tooth, strength requirements, and your treatment goals.
