Making the Porcelain Crown

To make a porcelain crown, the tooth is first prepared by a cosmetic dentist. Then a quick impression of the tooth is taken. The next step is to scan it into our computer’s 3D software.

Our master ceramist will design the digital crown using the 3D software. Before the crown is milled the master lab technician makes sure the design of the new crown is optimal.

The lab technician uses the software to make sure the contacts, bite and the margins on the new Porcelain crown are exactly correct. Once the 3D model is ready, the computer mills the ceramic crown from a block. The crown from start to finish is ready in just hours.
