Crowns & Bridges
Dental Crowns & Bridges in Mississauga | Shahad Thomas Dental
If you have a damaged, decayed, or missing tooth, a dental crown (or “cap”) can restore both function and aesthetics. At Shahad Thomas Dental in Mississauga, we provide high-quality porcelain crowns, gold crowns, and dental bridges to strengthen your teeth and enhance your smile.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully encases a tooth above the gum line, unlike veneers, which only cover the front. Crowns are ideal for:
✔ Restoring broken or severely decayed teeth
✔ Protecting weak teeth from further damage
✔ Covering discolored or misshapen teeth
✔ Supporting dental bridges
✔ Completing dental implant procedures
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
We use advanced materials to ensure durability and a natural appearance:
Porcelain Crowns – Most natural-looking, ideal for front teeth.
Gold Crowns – Extremely durable, best for back teeth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) – Combines strength and aesthetics.
Zirconia Crowns – Strong, metal-free, and highly resistant to wear.
The Dental Crown Procedure
Getting a crown typically takes two visits:
First Visit: Tooth Preparation & Impressions
The tooth is numbed for comfort.
It is reshaped to fit the crown.
If needed, a filling material is used to rebuild the tooth structure.
Digital or traditional impressions are taken and sent to the lab.
A temporary crown is placed while your permanent one is crafted.
Second Visit: Permanent Crown Placement
The temporary crown is removed.
The permanent crown is checked for fit and bite alignment.
It is securely bonded using dental cement or resin.
Dental Bridges: Replacing Missing Teeth
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap using crowns as anchors:
Two crowns are placed on healthy adjacent teeth (abutments).
A false tooth (pontic) is suspended between them.
The bridge is permanently cemented for a seamless look.
How Long Do Crowns & Bridges Last?
With proper care, crowns and bridges can last 10-15+ years. To maintain them:
✅ Brush & floss daily (especially around crowns).
✅ Avoid chewing hard objects (ice, pens, etc.).
✅ Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
✅ Visit Shahad Thomas Dental for regular checkups.
