What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a type of restoration that shrouds the tooth in protective material, restoring its shape and functionality. There are several materials available. We prefer to use high-strength porcelain, which replicates the appearance of tooth enamel for a beautifully natural result. For crowns that require extra strength, we may use a base of noncorrosive (noble) metal such as gold, with a layer of beautiful porcelain fused to it.

Crowns may be used to:

Repair damaged, badly decayed, or cracked teeth
Protect fragile or weak teeth
Restore teeth after root canal therapy
Whiten, reshape, and restore teeth

The dental impression goes digital with TRIOS scanner

Traditional dental impressions begin with a goopy substance in a tray, which goes in your mouth to create a mold. It is uncomfortable for the patient, time consuming for the dentist, and the result may be imprecise. Our TRIOS scanner replaces traditional dental impressions with fast, convenient, detailed, three-dimensional digital images.

The benefits include:

The digital “impression” can be emailed to the dental laboratory immediately, so they can begin working on your permanent restoration right away.
Scanning your teeth is fast and comfortable. There is no uncomfortable tray, no goopy foul-tasting paste in your mouth, and no worries about a mess on your skin or facial hair.
Digital imagery is more detailed and precise, resulting in a better fitting restoration.
The process is gentle and not intimidating for nervous kids.
Shorten the time you will have to contend with a temporary crown. TRIOS helps you get your permanent crown quickly, so you can get on with your life.
Show off a spectacular smile. Our technology can match the coloring of your tooth enamel with precision, and TRIOS helps create the ideal shape, so the result looks natural.
