What is crowns?
Allo Dental Clinic provides crowns near Yonge and Lawrence in Toronto. A dental crown covers and protects a damaged tooth. It may be recommended after a large fracture, root canal treatment, heavy wear, or when a filling would not be strong enough. Your dentist explains the diagnosis, options, expected fees, and referral needs before treatment begins.
A crown is about strength, shape, and long-term planning.
We assess how much tooth is left, whether the nerve is healthy, how the bite lands, and what material is appropriate.
The plan is explained before treatment, including the material options and how many visits the case needs.
