Crowns

dental crown to fix toothCrowns are a dental restoration fabricated to fit overtop a prepped tooth (or teeth).  A crown is a very strong and protective “thimble”which allows a  tooth to fully function.  The appointment to have a crown usually involves 2 appointments but due to technology it can be done in a one appointment.

A dental crown has been referred to as a Cap.  These two terms are interchangeable, but as technology has improved the proper term is a Crown.  The materials are very natural looking and strong.  The crowns are generally designed on a Cad-Cam system either by the laboratory or they can be done on in-office computer system.

Crown Appointment

This first appointment will involve Dr. Dove prepping the tooth (teeth) and getting a small impression to make a temporary tooth.  The prep is done then the scanning occurs with blue-ray technology.  This is a very easy scan done with our E4D PlanMeca scanner.  The information is loaded into a computer system which analyses the tooth (teeth) and surrounding teeth.  The E4D also scans the opposite arch, this allows for a well functioning crown when chewing. Often the area is temporized. We advised patients to go very gentle on the temporary.

A few days later, the temporary is gently removed and we insert the crown. All crowns are custom and colouring is very important.

The example we have used is actually 6 teeth across the upper anterior.

The teeth are 13/12/11/21/22/23.  This smile was done fully on the E4D PlanMeca system.
