What is a Dental Crown
A dental crown is a cap that fits over your existing tooth, covering it completely to restore its shape, size, and appearance. Crowns are custom-made to match the natural color and shape of your teeth, offering a seamless and natural look. Crowns can be made from various materials, including ceramics, composite resins, porcelain, and metal alloys, each chosen based on the specific needs of your tooth.
Dental crowns are used for several reasons, including restoring teeth that are weak, damaged, or discolored. If you have a tooth that is cracked, worn down, or doesn’t match the rest of your smile, a crown can offer a simple solution. It improves both the strength and appearance of your tooth.
How the Process Works
Digital Scan – No Messy Impressions
We begin by scanning your tooth using CEREC Primescan, an advanced digital imaging system. This quick, comfortable scan captures precise 3D images of your tooth—no sticky impression trays required.
1
Custom Crown Design
Using the digital scan, your dentist designs your crown on-screen with exact detail. The crown is customized to match your bite, shape, and the natural color of your surrounding teeth for a seamless look.
2
In-Office Milling With Primemill
Once the design is finalized, the information is sent to our CEREC Primemill, which carves your crown from a high-quality ceramic block right in our office. This process takes about 15–20 minutes and ensures exceptional accuracy and strength.
3
Precision Fit & Final Touches
After milling, your crown is refined and polished to achieve a natural appearance. We carefully check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and function.
4
Same-Day Placement
Your finished crown is bonded securely to your tooth during the same visit. You leave our office with a fully restored smile—no temporary crowns, no return appointments, and no long waits.
