Same Day Crowns
At our Central Coast dental practice, we work with cutting-edge CEREC technology to create crowns on-site. Same day services are available for your convenience, and we will ensure the crown is comfortable and properly fitted.
CEREC technology affords numerous benefits and is a great alternative to a variety of traditional crown-production methods. The process involves the insertion of an intra-oral camera, which will photograph your teeth. After this, a computer-generated 3D model is produced so that a milling unit can cut the crown precisely from a ceramic block. The process requires no impressions, and CEREC crowns are stronger than traditional filling materials.
Crowns are ideal for restoring loose or fractured teeth, as well as improving the appearance of misshapen and discoloured teeth.
Dental Bridge
Our dental technicians are able to provide comfortable solutions to help bridge gaps in your teeth. This is achieved by implementing two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and replacing the missing teeth with false ones. Often times, bridges can serve as an ideal alternative to dentures.
There are numerous advantages to opting for a dental bridge. In addition to improving the appearance of your teeth, they can help evenly distribute the forces in your bite as well as preventing other teeth from drifting out of position. What’s more, dental bridges can help maintain the shape of your face by reinforcing the optimal dental structure.

Veneers
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their colour, shape, size, or length.
Veneers are routinely used to fix:
- Teeth that are discoloured
- Teeth that are worn down
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)
- Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)
Dental Veneer Benefits
- They provide a natural tooth appearance.
- Gums tolerates porcelain well.
- Porcelain veneers are stain resistant.
- A colour can be selected to make dark teeth appear whiter.
Frequently Asked Questions
In general, porcelain crowns last between 10 and 15 years. However, it is advisable to confirm with your dentist.
It is recommended that you wait at least one hour. Hard and sticky foods should be avoided.
It is advisable to pass spongy floss between the base of the bridge and the gum. This should be done softly to avoid damage being caused. We also recommend using Piksters to assist with cleaning.
