Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental Crowns by your dentist in Markham
Crowns by your dentist in Markham, also known as dental caps, are used to provide structural support for teeth that have been compromised. Teeth with fractures or substantial loss of structure due to trauma or cavities may need a crown to enhance the long term survival of the tooth.
Some indications for a tooth in need of a crown restoration are:
Loss of large amount of tooth structure due to cavities
Severe wear of teeth due to grinding or clinching habits
Root canal treatment of teeth
Restoring the functional and aesthetic contours of teeth
Closing gaps between teeth
There are multiple types of crowns that are used in dentistry today. Depending on the specific conditions of the patient and their individual aesthetic or functional requirements, a certain type of crown may be chosen by your Markham dentist for you. Dr. Riazi discusses this during the treatment planning session with each patient.
