A dental crown is a type of tooth restoration that covers a damaged, missing, or worn tooth. Crowns are custom-made and can be made in several different shapes and sizes to fit your particular teeth.
Compared to other types of tooth restoration, crowns are more expensive but they last longer and they look better than traditional fillings. Crowns are also less likely to need replacement in the future because they are more durable.
There are a few types of orthodontic crowns in Scarborough that can be placed on a tooth. The most common type is a full-crown, which covers the entire tooth and replaces the original tooth structure. Partial-crowns replace just part of the tooth, and the abutment or anchor posts that hold it in place are usually still visible. There's also a less common type called a mini- crown, which is basically a small full-crown that's placed over just one denticle of the teeth.

Finally, there's an extremely rare type called an isolated full-crown, which is only used when all other options have been ruled out because there's no other nearby teeth that can support it.
Whatever type of dental crown you choose, your dentist will carefully measure your mouth and determine what style and size of crown would be best for your individual needs. Crowns come in many different colors and materials, so you can choose one that will look great and match your existing dental coloration harmoniously. Depending on the severity of your condition – or if you have very high or low scores on certain dental measurements – your dentist may also recommend either a partial or full crown instead of an isolated full-crown.
