Learning that you need a dental crown may not be the best news you've heard; however, your team at Bays Dental makes it simple and straightforward to complete a crown at our McCrae dental clinic.
With innovative CEREC same-day technology, there's no more waiting for weeks while a dental crown completes your new tooth. Our team uses CEREC to design, fabricate and fit your crown during one 90-minute dental visit, ensuring you leave with a functional and aesthetically pleasing new tooth.
How Does the CEREC Same-Day Crowns Process Work?
Not only are CEREC crowns completed more efficiently, but the technology also uses 3-D imaging, which eliminates the need for messy and uncomfortable impressions and moulds. These images enable our dentists to design and customise your new crown to their exact specifications, ensuring an exceptional fit and function.
Here's a breakdown of our efficient same-day crowns process:
- Digital Scanning for Precise Imaging: Our dentists will first scan your tooth to capture a detailed 3-D image. This digital impression replaces traditional moulds and provides highly accurate data for your new crown.
- Custom Design and Shading: Using the 3-D image, our dentists will then use advanced software to create a custom design for your new tooth. They will meticulously select custom-shading that blends flawlessly into your existing smile.
- On-Site Milling: Once the design is perfected, our state-of-the-art CEREC milling machine fabricates your new tooth using durable, high-quality ceramic porcelain, right here in our clinic.
- Final Fitting and Bonding: After your new tooth is completed, our dentists will carefully fit it to your smile and make any needed adjustments to your bite to ensure that it's comfortable and you maintain optimal chewing function.
Now you're ready to enjoy your new tooth and smile with confidence again, all in a single visit!
When Do We Recommend a Tooth Crown?
A crown is designed to cover the remaining structure of your healthy tooth, which also protects the integrity of your root. Our dentists may suggest a crown in these situations:
- To restore severely decayed, fractured, or damaged teeth
- To top a single dental implant
- To rebuild a tooth that has had root canal treatment
- To replace a large, broken filling
- To cover an oddly shaped or stained tooth for cosmetic restoration
