Our dentist will place your new crown on your tooth immediately and you will have the most natural looking tooth, resulting in a brand new smile.
A high grade, tooth-coloured porcelain crown that is free of metal is then created to complete your crown. Your dentist will then design the tooth via the cutting-edge Cerec technology. The Cerec machine then constructs a 3D virtual model of your tooth based on the image presented. A sophisticated camera is used to take an impression of your tooth. What is the Cerec process?Īfter our dentist has performed an oral examination and viewed the x-ray results, your tooth will be prepared for the Cerec treatment. Visit the dentist and in only 1 visit and in as little as 90 minutes you’re finished. Finally at the second or third appointment your crown is fitted. On the crown preparation appointment there’s a mould taken, the tooth is prepared and the temporary crown is put on which is worn for weeks until the crown is completed. The dentist takes x-rays, makes a diagnosis and often re-books to perform the crown preparation procedure. The usual procedure may be one you’re familiar with.
