From a small ceramic block to your finished crown đâright in our office:
1. Start with a porcelain block
We select a high-quality ceramic block that closely matches the natural shade of your teeth.
2. Precision milling
Using your custom digital design, our in-office CEREC machine carefully carves the crown out of that block. Itâs a quiet, automated process that typically takes just a few minutes.
3. Finishing touches
Once milled, we smooth and polish the crown, and add any custom shading so it blends beautifully with your smile.
4. Strengthening in the oven
The crown is then placed in a special oven, where itâs fired at high temperatures to increase its strength and durability while enhancing its natural appearance.
5. Ready to place
After cooling, your crown is ready to be bondedâno waiting, no temporary.
What this means for you:
Itâs fast, comfortable, and convenient. You can relax in the chair while everything is made right here, and walk out the same day with a strong, natural-looking crownâno second appointment needed.
