A crown is a dental restoration that is used to protect damaged, cracked or broken down teeth. It fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth preserving functionality. A crown can also be known as a ‘cap’.
Traditionally these crowns would be made in a dental laboratory, this means posting 'gooey' impressions to the lab, then waiting 2 weeks for the finished crown to be returned.
With CEREC we use our 'digital technician' to make the crowns right here in our Bristol based dental practice.

A crown is advised if an old crown needs to be replaced or the tooth would benefit for the strength that a crown can provide when a filling would not be suitable. Cosmetic Dentistry often requires the use of many techniques to restore a broken down smile and crowns are one of the options.
Most dental crowns are made from a special ceramic similar in strength to granite and similar to natural tooth in aesthetic qualities.
This ceramic is made in a factory in a block, the CEREC machine in our Bristol based dental practice then cuts your new tooth from this block using a milling machine accurate to 5 microns - that's 5/1000ths of a centimeter!
The initial preparation of the tooth will take around 1 hour, the design and milling will take another hour and the final fitting one final hour. When both yourself and the dentist are happy with the fit and appearance of the new dental crown it will be fixed in place with special dental glue.
No. Appropriate local anaesthetic is used (if applicable) so the preparation should feel no different from a filling. If you are particularly nervous or anxious of the dentist then we have a dental sedation service that will help you to relax your way through treatment.
And the great thing about CEREC is that you will only need one injection at one appointment.

How long your crown lasts depends on how well you look after it.
Properly cared for crowns should last for many years. Crowns themselves
cannot decay, but decay can start where the edge of the crown joins the
tooth. It is therefore important to keep this area clean.
