CEREC Tooth Crowns
Serving Vancouver, British Columbia and surrounding areas
Most tooth crowns are fitted and inserted over the course of two visits, requiring your dentist to fit you with a temporary crown while your permanent crown is being manufactured in a lab.
At our practice, we use a state-of-the-art CEREC device that allows us to make your custom, precision fitted crown right in our offices, and you need only come for a single visit!
The tooth crown procedure
During your visit, the damaged tooth will be prepared, including removal of decayed material and preparation of the tooth surface.
Then we will use a specialized digital camera technology to take a three-dimensional optical impression of your tooth. This step takes only a minute or two, and does not require a physical impression.
Once we have a precise optical impression of your prepared tooth, we will input the information into our state of the art, computer-assisted CEREC machine, then carefully adjust the surfaces to ensure a solid, sturdy biting surface and a natural, tooth-like appearance.
Once the image is perfect, the CEREC machine will automatically make your new custom crown from a block of dental ceramic.
