Crowns

The Diagnosis

Crowns are diagnosed when decay (cavities) or a fractured portion of the tooth is too extensive to contain a filling.  Crowns can also be used to alter the appearance of your teeth to create the make-over appearance you desire.

The Treatment

The treatment for a crown begins with the precise reduction of the tooth in preparation for the porcelain replacement.  Then, if we are using our CEREC machine, we take a picture of the tooth with our digital scanner and design the crown with a computer.  A milling machine then creates the crown out of beautiful porcelain and it is cemented the same day!  No temporary crown, No second visit, No second numbing required!

We are the only office in Oroville to offer this technology!
