Restore Your Smile with a Custom Dental Crown
A damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth may need additional support to stay strong and function properly. At Urban Smiles Family Dental Centre, dental crowns are custom-made to restore the shape, appearance, and function of a tooth while helping protect it from further damage.
Whether you need a crown after a large filling, fracture, decay, or another dental concern, our team will take the time to understand your needs and discuss your options.
We offer several types of crowns and, for select patients, can create your crown right here in our office for same-day treatment. Contact us to schedule your appointment today.

What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom restoration that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It helps restore the tooth’s shape and function while providing additional protection.
Crowns may be recommended when a tooth:
- Has significant decay or damage
- Has a large filling that needs additional support
- Is cracked or weakened
- Has undergone root canal treatment
- Needs to be restored after an injury
- Requires a cosmetic improvement
Your dentist will assess your tooth and discuss whether a crown is the right option for you.
Your Dental Crown Options
At Urban Smiles Family Dental Centre, we offer different crown materials to meet a variety of functional and aesthetic needs.
- Composite Crowns: Composite material can provide a tooth-coloured restoration for select situations. Your dentist can determine whether this option is appropriate based on the tooth and your individual needs.
- Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain crowns can provide a natural-looking appearance and are often chosen when aesthetics are an important consideration.
- Metal Crowns: Metal crowns are known for their strength and durability and may be an option for teeth that experience significant chewing pressure.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: These crowns combine a strong metal foundation with a porcelain exterior, offering a balance of durability and a tooth-coloured appearance.
Every smile is different. During your consultation, we’ll explain your options and help you understand which type of crown may be appropriate for your tooth, oral health, and goals.
Same-Day In-Office Crowns
When appropriate, you may not need to wait for a dental laboratory to create your crown. Our Glidewell iO milling unit allows us to create select custom crowns right here in our office.
For eligible cases, same-day crowns can mean fewer appointments and less time spent waiting for your final restoration. Your dentist will let you know whether an in-office crown is suitable for your needs.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Getting a dental crown typically begins with an examination of the affected tooth. Your dentist will assess its condition and discuss your treatment options with you.
If a crown is recommended, we’ll prepare the tooth, take the necessary digital information, and design your restoration. Depending on your treatment and the type of crown selected, your restoration may be completed in the office or created through a dental laboratory.
Our iTero scanner and other dental technology can help support accurate treatment planning and the fit of your restoration.
A Crown Designed Around Your Smile
A dental crown should do more than cover a damaged tooth. It should fit naturally within your smile and support the way you eat, speak, and live.
At Urban Smiles Family Dental Centre, we combine modern technology with personalized care to help restore your tooth and protect your long-term oral health. If you’re looking to get a crown, we have you covered. Contact us to schedule your appointment today.

A crown may be recommended when a tooth is significantly damaged, weakened, cracked, or has a large restoration. Your dentist will examine your tooth and explain whether a crown or another treatment would be the better option.
Once your crown has been placed and your dentist confirms that everything is functioning properly, you should be able to use the restored tooth normally. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits remain important for protecting your crown and surrounding teeth.
