Crowns A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken.

You
may have had a crown placed in your mouth, so you are
familiar with the routine of having a temporary
installed, waiting for the permanent crown to be made,
and then returning to the dentist to have it positioned
in your dental arch. Sometimes the fit isn’t right, so
it is the same wait and procedure again.
Dr. Tisoncik uses CEREC™ technology to give you a
perfect-fitting crown in just one visit! This system
uses a computer program to design and mill the
restoration. It will create the crown in just a few
minutes! The complete procedure from start to finish
takes only about an hour. So it is only one trip to the
dentist and no more waiting time. Our patients simply
love how natural it looks and how well it functions.
To start the process, a reflective powder is applied to
the tooth. With a special camera, a picture is taken and
viewed on our computer screen. This lets us design the
crown, which CEREC then automatically mills. The last
step is to bond the crown to the remaining tooth
structure. What could be easier or faster than having a
crown made with CEREC?
You
May Need a Crown
If a tooth is broken from decay or wear and a filling
will not restore it, a crown will be fitted over the
tooth to make it functional for chewing. We use the best
quality materials that make it look just like a real
tooth, and no one will know the difference.
