Some patients come in after years of getting fillings and we find that we can no longer replace the filling. Fillings are used to prevent tooth decay but if they are not maintained, or if they are not set correctly, tooth decay will continue. When tooth decay gets significant it must be removed and this can cause the structure of the tooth to be unable to support further fillings. Crowns are the next step, and although you will be losing a little tooth structure to have room to fit the crown, you will be restoring your dental health.
Your dental crown procedure
To prepare your tooth for its new crown, we carefully remove the damaged portion, along with any signs of tooth decay. Then, instead of using old-fashioned impression paste, we use CEREC to scan your prepared tooth and make a highly detailed 3D image. With this information, our computerised CAD/CAM machine then precisely mills your dental crown from a ceramic block to our exact specifications – in only about half an hour!
