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. |
