Need a new crown but dread the impression???

Using state of the art Cerec technology we are able to give you a new beautiful natural looking tooth without the need for any impressions. Many patients dislike the impression taking needed when having a conventional crown or onlay, usually due to the taste or it makes them gag. Now using Cerec technology we are able to treat patients’ requiring a crown or onlay by simply taking a scan of the tooth. This means that the unwelcome impression stage is omitted and replaced with a simple camera image being taken of the tooth being treated. An added bonus is that the patient will get their brand new tooth coloured crown or onlay on the same visit so there is no need for a second visit or a temporary crown to be placed. So if you need a new crown and dread having the impression taken contact us at Dental Elegance and let us help you.
