Dental Crowns in Peterborough, ON

Strong, natural, and built to last. Dental crowns restore and protect damaged teeth while blending beautifully into your natural smile.

Strength and Stability—Right Here in Peterborough

At Cornerstone Family Dentistry, we use dental crowns to reinforce weakened teeth, protect cracked or broken enamel, and restore function. Whether your crown is needed after a root canal, injury, or large filling, our Peterborough dental team delivers long-lasting results with care that’s always patient-first.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a tooth that’s damaged, decayed, or weakened. It’s shaped and shaded to match your natural teeth, restoring both strength and appearance. We use digital scanning and modern materials to create precise, comfortable crowns that last for years.

Designed for Comfort, Made to Last

We use high-quality materials and precise digital impressions to create bridges that fit seamlessly into your smile. Every bridge is colour-matched to your natural teeth and carefully shaped to ensure comfort and long-term durability.

Durable Protection with a Natural Look

Our crowns are designed to feel like your real teeth. Using advanced techniques and high-quality materials, we ensure a natural fit and seamless appearance—so you can eat, speak, and smile confidently again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my crown feels loose or uncomfortable?

Call us right away. We’ll assess the fit and make adjustments if needed to keep your bite balanced and comfortable.

Can I eat normally with a crown?

Once your crown is placed, you can eat and drink as usual. We’ll give you tips on what to avoid while it’s settling in.

Will the crown look natural?

Yes. We colour-match your crown to your natural teeth and use materials that reflect light like enamel for a seamless look.

How do I care for a dental crown?

Brush and floss daily, avoid chewing very hard objects, and come in for regular checkups to keep your crown and surrounding teeth healthy.

What’s the difference between a crown and a filling?

A filling repairs a small area of decay. A crown covers and protects the entire tooth when it’s too damaged for a filling alone.

Do you offer same-day crowns?

Yes. For eligible cases, we offer same-day CEREC crowns made right here in our office—no temporary crowns or second visits required.

Is a crown covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover part of the cost. Our team will review your benefits and provide a clear explanation of any out-of-pocket costs.

Does getting a crown hurt?

We use gentle techniques and offer comfort options to make the process easy. Most patients feel little to no discomfort.

How long does a crown last?

With proper care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or more. We’ll help you maintain your crown with personalized care instructions.

What is a dental crown made of?

Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, or metal. We’ll recommend the best material based on your needs and the location of the tooth.
