Crowns are meant to restore a tooth that has been worn down by tooth decay or a minor fracture as well as to protect a tooth that had root canal therapy.
What is a crown?
The crown looks like a cap placed over a tooth, improving aesthetics and the masticatory function. The crown reinforces a tooth that was broken, cracked or damaged by tooth decay, trauma, or restoration. It is more durable than fillings and protects the tooth.
Same-day crown – CEREC technology
In traditional practices, multiple appointments for a single tooth restoration would be necessary.
At the Centre dentaire de la gare, we use a CEREC system that allows us to simplify the treatment and complete it in one visit only.
Concretely, CEREC is a computer-assisted design for ceramic restorations allowing dentists to scan the tooth in your mouth, design the restoration virtually then send the information to the milling unit that will fabricate the crown or inlay in a few minutes only.
Once the CEREC computer-assisted restoration is over, your dentist will adjust, characterize, and finish the cemented crown, all of this within a single office visit.
