Serving Rosedale, Summerhill, Deer Park, Moore Park, and the Yonge-St. Clair community
Do You Need a Dental Crown?
You might need a dental crown if you have:
- A severely damaged or broken tooth that needs complete coverage
- A large filling that has failed or needs replacement
- A root canal-treated tooth that needs protection
- A cracked tooth that hurts when you bite down
- A tooth weakened from grinding or clenching habits
We restore compromised teeth to optimal function with custom crowns tailored to your individual requirements, offering both same-day solutions and traditional laboratory-crafted options to ensure the highest standards of care.
Our Dental Crown Service
At St. Clair Dental, we specialize in crafting custom dental crowns designed to protect and restore teeth that have been damaged. Our crowns are tailored to each patient, ensuring that the restoration fits comfortably and blends seamlessly with your natural smile.

Common Questions
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, quality dental crowns typically last many years.
What's the difference between traditional and same-day crowns?
Traditional crowns are crafted in a dental lab in approximately one week, offering more material options including gold. Same-day crowns are milled in-office in one visit using CAD/CAM technology.
Do you serve my area?
Yes! We're located at Yonge and St. Clair and serve patients from Rosedale, Summerhill, Deer Park, Moore Park, and throughout Midtown Toronto.
Is getting a crown painful?
No, the procedure is comfortable with local anesthesia. Any mild sensitivity after preparation resolves quickly.
