Understanding Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, or “caps,” are custom-made ceramic coverings that are carefully cemented onto specifically prepared teeth. Our practice employs state-of-the-art CEREC technology that allows us to fabricate crowns within a single visit. This advanced system enables the preparation and placement of crowns on the same day, eliminating the need for temporary crowns.
Benefits of “Same Day” Crowns
The CEREC system, utilising Computer-Aided Design-Computer-Aided Manufacture (CAD-CAM) technology, offers several advantages:
- Efficient Process: The crown is custom-made while you wait, minimising any inconvenience, and eliminating the need for temporary crowns.
- Optimal Results: The precision of CEREC ensures a perfect fit with minimal disruption to your existing enamel. Our dental practitioner will match the crown’s colour to your natural teeth.
- Avoiding Additional Treatments: CEREC technology may help patients avoid further treatments like root canals, saving both time and money.
- Durable Outcome: The porcelain used in the CEREC process is long-lasting and provides durable, functional crowns for years to come.
