IMPROVING EXISTING TEETH

If a tooth is damaged or of poor quality, a new porcelain 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. With no metal understructer you will not have the darkness at your gumline. Light transmits up the porcelain just like a natural tooth.

Benefits of a new Procera crown:

• 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 within three week's time.

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.
