A damaged tooth can affect more than just your appearance—it can make eating uncomfortable, lead to further dental problems, and impact your confidence. At Dentistry on Ridgeway, we offer custom-crafted dental crowns that restore your tooth’s strength, function, and natural beauty. Whether you need to protect a weakened tooth or complete a smile makeover, we serve patients throughout Fonthill, Welland, and the Niagara region with precision and care.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown—sometimes called a “cap”—is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gumline. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance. Think of it as a protective helmet for a tooth that needs reinforcement.

Types of Dental Crowns

We offer a range of crown materials to suit your functional needs and aesthetic goals. Our team will help you choose the best option for your unique smile.

  • Porcelain
    Highly aesthetic and metal-free. Porcelain crowns mimic the colour, translucency, and texture of natural teeth—ideal for front teeth.
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
    Combines the strength of a metal base with the natural look of porcelain. A reliable, durable option for both front and back teeth.
  • Zirconia
    A modern, metal-free material known for exceptional strength and lifelike appearance. Excellent for molars and patients with heavy bite forces.
  • Gold
    One of the most durable and biocompatible options. Gold crowns wear gently against opposing teeth—often recommended for back teeth where strength is the priority.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Choosing a dental crown offers numerous advantages for your oral health and quality of life:

Protects weak teeth: Prevents further cracking or splitting of damaged teeth

Restores function: Allows you to chew comfortably and naturally again

Long-lasting solution: With proper care, crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer

Natural appearance: Modern crowns blend seamlessly with your existing teeth

Preserves tooth structure: Restores a tooth without the need for extraction in most cases

Completes other treatments: Essential for protecting root canal treated teeth and dental implants

The Dental Crown Process : What to Expect

We believe in making your experience as comfortable and straightforward as possible. The crown process typically requires two visits. During your first visit, we begin by numbing the area to ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure. We then carefully prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the crown, ensuring a strong foundation for your restoration.
