Dental crown

The dental crown is the visible part of the tooth above the gum. It must be solid because it undergoes the pressure of chewing. In addition, it is exposed to food, air, saliva, bacteria and microbes.

The crown of a tooth can undergo different types of damage: tooth decay, trauma (accident), cracks, fractures, etc. Regardless of the cause of deterioration of the crown, it is important to repair or replace it. This depends on the severity of the damage. An artificial crown is often required to restore strength to a tooth with multiple fillings or a root canal treatment.

CEREC dental crown made on site

Historically, crowns were fabricated in the laboratory and therefore required several appointments with the dentist. Our clinic is equipped with CEREC technology which allows us to make crowns and inlays on site. This saves you time and travel, at an equivalent cost.

The CEREC dental crown is an innovation in dentistry that allows damaged teeth to be restored quickly and precisely. Using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology, our dentists can create custom crowns in a single visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.

This process uses aesthetic and durable materials, providing a natural and resistant result. Patients benefit from increased comfort, with less discomfort from traditional impressions. In addition, CEREC crowns are ideal for their efficiency, reducing waiting time and improving the overall dental treatment experience.
