A milling system using modern software and state-of-the-art equipment to provide individual crowns. Dr. Karimi begins by preparing your tooth according to the type of restoration needed. Then, while you are sitting in the chair, we use the systems 3D Cad/Cam photography system to take the place of an impression. Dr.Karimi designs your restoration while you watch, using the CEREC software.
A crown is a restoration that covers a tooth in order to strengthen it as well as restore it to its normal shape and size. A crown may be placed to support a large filling when there is little remaining tooth structure; attach a bridge; protect weak teeth from fracturing; or restore fractured teeth. A tooth that has been treated with root canal therapy will require a crown following treatment to provide strength and support the tooth. We only use materials for crowns that will provide the longest lasting benefits to our patients, and our patients are thrilled that there are no more ugly metal bands at the gum line.
Paradise Dental Group uses the latest technology to fabricate personalize crowns, we do it in house with our CEREC milling system. Just in one visit provides the patient with a beautiful new ceramic crown. No more messy impressions, no more temporary crowns, no more waiting days or weeks for your crown to be fabricated.
When a tooth is missing, the adjoining teeth tend to shift into the empty space. Opposing teeth may also begin to grow up or down into that space as well. These movements cause not only an unflattering appearance, but it can cause significant bite problems. A bridge made of todays advanced materials can prevent this occurrence, replacing the missing tooth or teeth and helping you keep a beautiful smile for your lifetime.
