Improving Existing Smile
Benefits of a new Procera crown:
If
the tooth is damaged or of poor quality,
a new ceramic crown is probably the
best solution. Installation is fast.
The end result is fantastic.
The all-ceramic Procera crown has many
advantages over traditional crowns.
Besides its high esthetic qualities,
the function and longevity of the crown
is excellent as well.
·
Superior esthetic result, compared to
traditional crowns
· Easy installation, quick results
· Short and convenient treatment

Treatment:
In
the best case, the new crown is installed
in two dentist visits in one week's
time. The inconvenience and after-effects
will be minimal.
COURSE
OF TREATMENT
PLACING
A NEW CROWN – STEP-BY-STEP
The
course of treatment described here is
one of several options available. Consult
your dentist to find out what the best
solution is for you, given your specific
condition.
1. Before
procedure
The
dentist makes a first evaluation and
makes an impression of the existing
crown. The impression is used as the
prototype for the new crown.
2. Preparing the old tooth
The
natural tooth is given minor preparation
or adjustments. A temporary crown is
attached.
3.
Placing the new crown
A
week or so after the first visit, the
permanent crown is securely fitted.
Normally, it will serve its owner for
life.
4. End result
The
end result is a new tooth that should
blend in perfectly with the others.
Brush and floss as recommended by your
dentist or dental hygienist.

ALTERNATIVES
TO AN ALL-CERAMIC CROWN
Porcelain fused to metal
Simply
put, a new all-ceramic Procera crown
is esthetically superior to any other
type of crown. You just can't get the
same finish and natural, living look
with a traditional metal core crown.
However, the latter is an established
and well-known solution. This is probably
why it is still commonly used, even
though function, installation and price
are normally equal to that of a ceramic
crown.
