Dental Crowns
Experts in Dental Crowns in the Blue Mountains
If you have a damaged, cracked, or weakened tooth, a dental crown can be the perfect solution. A tooth crown is a custom-made cap that fits over the entire visible part of your tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
At our Leura practice, we offer a range of modern crown solutions, including the revolutionary same-day CEREC crowns, giving you a beautiful and long-lasting result in just one appointment.
When a Dental Crown Might Be Right for You
Dental crowns are a versatile and highly effective way to save a damaged tooth. We often recommend a crown to:
- Protect a weak tooth from breaking or hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
- Restore a tooth that has been severely worn down.
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t much tooth structure left.
- Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth.
- Cover a dental implant.
The One-Visit Solution: CEREC Crowns
We’re proud to offer state-of-the-art CEREC crowns right here in our Leura practice. CEREC technology allows us to design, create, and place your new crown in a single visit, saving you time and the inconvenience of multiple appointments.
The CEREC process is straightforward:
- Digital Scan: We use a non-invasive digital scanner to take a precise 3D image of your tooth. There are no messy, uncomfortable impressions required.
- Crown Design: Using CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software, your dentist custom-designs your new crown on a computer screen, ensuring a perfect fit and a natural appearance.
- In-House Milling: The design is sent to our on-site milling machine, which carves your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic. This process takes less than 20 minutes.
- Placement: Your dentist will cement the finished crown onto your tooth. You’ll walk out of our office with a brand-new, permanent restoration that same day!
