Procera Crowns

Procera all ceramic dental crowns offer the most realistic and strong tooth restoration. The crowns are made using an all-ceramic material that makes the tooth both highly durable and beautiful.

Our cosmetic dentistry patients love Procera crowns for many reasons:

• Functionality, durability and aesthetic appeal
• Cutting edge technology that ensures an exceptional fit
• Elimination of tooth sensitivity
• Ability for gum regrowth to make it as natural looking as possible

What is the process for getting a Procera crown?

First, our cosmetic dentistry experts take highly accurate impressions from which your crown can be created. Then, we prepare the area to receive the tooth. This involves molding the size and shape of the tooth to allow the crown to sit naturally. We will work with you to choose the precise shade the crown should be in order to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth.

The model we take of your tooth then is scanned, and using computer software it is sent to a lab where your custom Procera crown is created. Before you leave, we’ll place a temporary crown until your permanent one is ready.

Once your permanent crown is completed, we’ll remove your temporary crown and place the Procera crown. Once we are assured of a proper fit, we will cement it in place.

What are the benefits to Procera crowns over traditional crowns?

Procera crowns offer several benefits over more traditional crown options:

• Made from all ceramic material, allowing them to blend in seamlessly with natural teeth
• Designed and made using CAD/CAM technology, ensuring ideal fit
• Materials are biocompatible, resulting in less chance for allergic reaction
• Metal-free, eliminated tooth sensitivity to temperature changes in the mouth
• Allow for gum regrowth, making it look more natural
• Smooth finish so it won’t irritate or wear on natural teeth touching it

Why might I need a Procera crown?

Patients may require a crown for several reasons, including:

• To stabilize and protect a cracked tooth
• To rebuild a tooth that has suffered significant loss due to decay , injury or wear
• To repair a tooth that has been weakened
• To cover a tooth after a root canal
• To cap a dental implant

How should I care for my Proceca crown?

Excellent oral hygiene is important all the time, but especially when you receive a Procera crown. Brush twice and a day and floss at least once, and take care to avoid consuming foods and beverages that can stain your crown.
