Dental crowns are customised caps that cover teeth to the gumline. They are coloured and shaped to look like your other teeth.
Your dentist can use tooth crowns to strengthen weak teeth or conceal aesthetic flaws. Dental crowns also play a role in tooth replacement—capping a single dental implant or securing bridge teeth (artificial teeth) to healthy teeth.
Your Avondale, Auckland dentist is proud to offer CEREC same-day crowns as part of our restorative dentistry.
What Is CEREC?
CEREC is a dental technology offered by some dentists. With CEREC, we can take digital impressions and forward your results to an onsite computer. The computer designs your crown to our specifications and then delivers it to a milling machine for fabrication and printing.
How Does It Work?
The first step is your consultation to ensure that a CEREC crown suits your needs. From there, we book your same-day tooth crown appointment. At this booking, your dentist moves through the steps to create your crown while you wait. This includes preparing the tooth in need of a crown.
When the crown is ready, your dentist adjusts the shade and fit before cementing it over your tooth.
We use CEREC technology because it is faster and more convenient for our patients.
Taking Care of Your CEREC Same-Day Dental Crown in West Auckland
We recommend brushing and flossing regularly and visiting your dentist on schedule for check-ups and teeth cleans.
You should also avoid biting into hard objects with your crown and never use them as tools to tear open packages. We make the same recommendations for teeth that have not been restored.
