Why Damaged and Missing Teeth Need Prompt Attention
A cracked or heavily decayed tooth does not stabilize on its own. Left untreated, a tooth that could have been saved with a crown may eventually require extraction. A gap left by a missing tooth causes neighbouring teeth to gradually drift out of position, changes your bite, accelerates bone loss in the jaw, and places uneven stress on surrounding teeth.
Dental crowns and dental bridges are among the most reliable, time-tested restorations in modern dentistry. They restore full function, protect the remaining tooth structure, prevent further damage, and — when done well — look completely natural.
At Humber Bridge Dental, every crown and bridge restoration is planned carefully, fitted precisely, and made from materials chosen for both durability and aesthetics.
Dental Crown Treatment at Humber Bridge Dental
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth—restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It fully encases the visible portion of the tooth above the gumline.
When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
Dental crown treatment is recommended when:
- A tooth is cracked or fractured and at risk of splitting further
- Decay is too extensive for a filling to restore effectively
- A tooth has been significantly weakened by a large existing filling
- A root canal has been completed and the tooth needs permanent protection
- A tooth is severely worn down from grinding or acid erosion
- A broken tooth needs to be structurally rebuilt
- A dental implant needs a crown to complete the restoration
- A badly discoloured or misshapen tooth requires cosmetic improvement
What to Expect During Dental Crown Treatment
Dental crown treatment at Humber Bridge Dental is typically completed over two appointments.
At your first visit, Dr. Roger Avila prepares the tooth by reshaping it to create a secure, well-fitting base for the crown. Digital impressions are taken — no uncomfortable impression trays in most cases — and a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent restoration is being crafted.
At your second visit, Dr. Avila checks the permanent crown for fit, bite alignment, and appearance before cementing it in place. Final adjustments are made to ensure the crown feels completely natural when you bite and chew.
Crowns at our Etobicoke clinic are made from high-quality porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or full zirconia depending on the location of the tooth and your clinical needs. Every crown is colour-matched to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Dental Bridge Treatment at Humber Bridge Dental
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth—called a “pontic”—to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. The result is a seamless, stable, non-removable replacement that restores your ability to chew and speak normally and prevents the shifting and bone loss that follow tooth loss.
When Is a Dental Bridge Recommended?
A dental bridge at Humber Bridge Dental may be the right solution if
- You are missing one or more teeth in a row
- The teeth on either side of the gap are healthy enough to support a bridge
- You want a fixed, non-removable tooth replacement
- You are not a candidate for dental implants or prefer to avoid implant surgery
- You have experienced tooth loss due to gum disease, decay, or trauma
Types of Dental Bridges We Provide
Traditional dental bridge
The most common type. Two dental crowns are placed on the teeth flanking the gap, with an artificial tooth suspended between them. Strong, reliable, and natural-looking.
Cantilever bridge
Used when only one healthy tooth sits adjacent to the gap. Applied in specific clinical situations where a traditional bridge is not appropriate.
Maryland bonded bridge
A conservative option that uses a porcelain or metal framework bonded to the backs of the adjacent teeth, requiring minimal reshaping of healthy tooth structure. Best suited for front teeth where biting forces are lower.
Dr. Avila assesses each patient individually and recommends the bridge design that gives the best long-term outcome based on the location of the gap, the condition of the supporting teeth, and your overall oral health.
What to Expect During Dental Bridge Treatment
Like crown treatment, a traditional dental bridge is completed over two appointments. At the first visit, the anchor teeth on either side of the gap are prepared and shaped to receive crowns. Impressions are taken, and a temporary bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth. At the second visit, your permanent bridge is fitted, carefully adjusted, and permanently cemented.
The result is a stable, fixed restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.

Understanding Dental Crown and Bridge Cost
We understand that cost is an important consideration when planning restorative treatment. At Humber Bridge Dental, every patient receives full cost transparency before any procedure begins—no surprises, no pressure.
Dental crown and bridge costs in Etobicoke depend on several factors:
- The type of restoration material — porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal
- The number of units in a bridge
- The complexity of preparation required
- Whether additional treatment such as a build-up or root canal is needed prior to placement
Most dental insurance plans in Ontario provide partial coverage for crowns and bridges, particularly when the treatment is clinically necessary. Our front desk team will review your insurance benefits with you before your appointment so you have a clear picture of out-of-pocket costs.

Caring for Your Crown or Bridge
With proper care, dental crowns and bridges last many years — often a decade or longer. Here is how to protect your restoration:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
- Floss carefully around and beneath the bridge pontic using a floss threader or interdental brush—this is where plaque accumulates most readily
- Avoid chewing on very hard items like ice, hard candy, or pen caps, particularly over-crowned teeth
- If you grind your teeth at night, speak with Dr. Avila about a custom nightguard to protect your restorations from excessive wear
- Attend regular cleaning appointments at Humber Bridge Dental so Dr. Avila and our hygiene team can monitor crown and bridge margins and catch any early concerns
A well-maintained crown or bridge is one of the most durable investments you can make in your long-term oral health.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions — Family Dentistry Etobicoke
What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge?
A dental crown covers and protects a single existing tooth that is damaged, weakened, or restored following a root canal.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With proper care and regular dental checkups, crowns and bridges typically last ten to fifteen years or longer.
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
The preparation appointment is performed under local anaesthetic, so the procedure itself is comfortable for most patients.
Can a dental bridge be replaced with an implant later?
In many cases, yes. Some patients choose a bridge as an immediate solution and later transition to a dental implant for a more independent, permanent replacement
How do I clean under a dental bridge?
Cleaning beneath the pontic requires a floss threader or an interdental brush to remove plaque and food debris from the area between the bridge and the gum.
Is a dental crown always needed after a root canal?
In most cases, yes. Root canal treatment removes the inner pulp of the tooth, leaving the remaining structure more brittle and vulnerable to fracture under normal chewing forces. Do dental crowns and bridges look natural?
Yes. At Humber Bridge Dental, every crown and bridge is custom colour-matched and shaped to blend with your surrounding teeth.
