How it works
In the past, restorations began with an impression using dental putty. It was messy, unpleasant, and led to crowns that were less likely to be a perfect fit, and might have taken weeks to create. Using our modern CEREC CAD/CAM technology, we capture a 3D digital impression of your teeth instead—which is much more detailed and accurate. Then, using that image, we use our on-site CEREC milling machine to create a perfect restoration out of a solid block of ceramic—right then during your appointment.

- a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing final restoration
Primary purposes of a digital crown
We use our CEREC CAD/CAM technology for patients who need care that includes any of the below treatments.
- Protection of weak and cracked teeth. By providing a durable covering, ceramic crowns can hold together parts of a cracked tooth, preventing further damage and maintaining the tooth's structural integrity.
- Restoration of broken or worn teeth. When a tooth is broken or severely worn down, a dental crown can be used to restore its function and appearance. This is especially relevant for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy.
- Support for teeth with large fillings. A ceramic crown can provide additional stability and protection for a tooth with a large cavity, allowing it to function more effectively and reducing the risk of further damage.
- Aesthetic improvements for discoloured teeth. Dental crowns can be used to cover teeth—or dental implants—that are misshapen or severely discoloured, improving the overall appearance of the patient's smile.
