Your dentist will begin the tooth crown procedure by preparing the damaged tooth to fit the tooth cap covering. Any decay and cracks are removed and the tooth structure is optimised to support the dental crown. This usually involves removing a layer of the outer surface and reducing the size so that the dental crown sits flush and looks natural.
At Iconic Dentistry, we use the latest innovations in dental technology to create a digital scan of the tooth and surrounding teeth. Your dentist will use an optical scanner to send a 3D custom image to an automated milling machine located on-site. The dental crown is shaped while you wait, from a single block of ceramic, before being glazed in a furnace.
Once the tooth cap is ready, your dentist will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before permanently cementing the dental crown onto your natural tooth. With this pioneering technology, there’s no need to fit temporary tooth crowns across multiple appointments. Just fast, professional, fuss-free results in one visit.
