Crowns and Bridges
Custom, colour-matched and perfectly fitted teeth restoration
Dental crowns and bridges protect your natural teeth. All done in a single visit!
Dental crowns
If your tooth has had a huge filling or a root canal before, you may need a crown. A crown, or cap, is like an external covering for the tooth to prevent it from breaking or chipping. If we notice that your tooth has a crack in it with an existing old filling, a crown may also be recommended.
Imagine your car windscreen having a crack in it. You would change it to prevent any chance of it shattering when it goes over a speed bump, right? Similarly, we would not wish for your teeth to break when you are enjoying a steak at a fancy restaurant!
Dental bridges
Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. The middle parts of teeth need solid support from both sides. Unlike dental implants, bridges are permanently fixed on your jaw bone.
CEREC® technology
We practise same-day dentistry!
CEREC dental technology VS traditional treatment
Traditional crown treatments usually take a week, or longer, and require two visits. The first visit involves taking manual dental impressions of your teeth which are sent away to a dental lab. While your permanent crown is being prepared there, you will need to wear a temporary crown. When you return for your second visit, it is replaced by your new crown, which is tested and cemented into place. CEREC (ceramic reconstruction) is a high-tech dental technology system that can design and produce high-quality dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, in minutes. Lengthy dental treatments can now be performed in a fraction of the usual time.

Benefits of CEREC crown treatment
If your other teeth are stained or discoloured, there may be other dental restorative materials that provide more aesthetic options, especially for front tooth restorations. CEREC is a life changer.
How does the CEREC crown treatment system work?
Once your dentist has finished preparing your tooth to receive a crown, a quick 3D scan of your oral cavity is taken with a small pen-shaped intraoral 3D camera, called the CEREC Omnicam. The 3D data is then viewed on a computer screen. Your crown is then designed with the CEREC 3D modelling software. The completed 3D file of your new crown is exported to the in-house CEREC milling machine, which proceeds to carve out your crown from a single ceramic block right before your eyes. This takes about 15 minutes. When ready, your new CEREC crown is permanently bonded to your tooth.
