Dental crowns and CEREC crowns in Guelph
Custom crowns for teeth that need more protection than a filling.
Ironwood Dental provides dental crowns and CEREC crowns in Guelph for broken, cracked, heavily filled, worn, or root canal treated teeth that need stronger coverage.
Why Guelph patients ask about crowns
A crown can protect a tooth that is too weak for a smaller repair.
Guelph patients often ask about crowns when a tooth breaks, a large filling is failing, or a tooth has had root canal treatment.
We assess how much natural tooth remains and how the bite loads the area before recommending a crown.
When a crown is appropriate, the goal is to rebuild the tooth shape, protect the remaining structure, and keep chewing comfortable.

Your appointment
What to expect at your crown assessment visit.
Assess the tooth
We check tooth structure, gums, bite, x-rays, cracks, old fillings, and whether a crown is the right level of protection.
Prepare and scan
The tooth is shaped for the crown, then a digital scan or impression is taken to plan the restoration.
Design and shade
The crown shape, contacts, and shade are planned so the restoration fits the bite and blends with nearby teeth.
Fit and care
The crown is checked, adjusted, and polished or cemented, then we review how to clean and maintain it.

Questions patients ask
Dental crowns in Guelph FAQs
A crown recommendation depends on how much tooth remains, the bite, gum health, and whether other treatment is needed first.
When is a crown better than a filling?
A crown may be better when the tooth is too weak, cracked, or heavily restored for a filling to protect it predictably.
Can a CEREC crown be done in one visit?
CEREC crowns can often be designed and made in the office, but suitability depends on the tooth and clinical situation.
Do crowns need regular checkups?
Yes. Crowns, gums, bite, and the tooth underneath should be monitored at routine dental visits.
