Dental Crown Restoration Darwin

CEREC, Crowns and Dental Crown Restoration in Darwin: What You Need to Know

If you have cavities—or have had cavities in the past—you might be more self-conscious about your smile than you were before. What if people can see your cavities, fillings or crowns when you smile? While very few people have a ‘perfect’ smile, that doesn’t stop most people from wanting one. At Hyalite Dental Surgery, we can help you improve your smile with various cosmetic dental procedures, including teeth whitening services, veneers, alignment treatment, implants, crowns or crown restoration in Darwin.

About CEREC and Our CEREC Crowns in Darwin

One crucial aspect of our cosmetic dentistry offerings at Hyalite Dental Surgery is our CEREC machine. ‘CEREC’ stands for ‘Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.’ It is a system that dentists use to create high quality dental restorations that are entirely free of any metal. Instead, it uses ceramic materials that mimic the colour and look of the original tooth while also being healthier for the patient than metal alternatives. Whether the patient needs a brand new crown or needs to replace an old metal filling, CEREC is an increasingly popular option.

Our CEREC machine makes Hyalite Dental Surgery a go-to source for dental crown restorations in Darwin. There are a few benefits to this machine that make it superior to former strategies for creating dental restorations. First off, the system does everything digitally. There is no need to take physical impressions of the patient’s teeth. Instead, the system captures an optical impression with a camera. The CEREC machine then converts these digital photographs into a 3D model that your dentist can use to shape and design a restoration. 

Once the design is ready, the dentist can send the data to a milling machine, which is also located in the office. The milling machine uses diamond head cutters to shape a small ceramic block—chosen to match the shade and colour of your tooth—into a restoration. Within 10 or 20 minutes, the restoration is ready to test in the patient’s mouth, polished and finally bonded into place. The entire process happens in the space of a single appointment, with no need to send impressions off-site. As the patient, you can walk out of the treatment with brand new restorations.

CEREC crowns are popular because they approximate the look and feel of real teeth and are so quick to fit, manufacture, test, and bond. There is a reason the word ‘chairside’ is part of the CEREC acronym. If you are concerned about how crowns or fillings will affect the quality of your smile, then you should consult Hyalite Dental Surgery about CEREC crowns in Darwin.
