Same Day Crowns/ Onlays (with CEREC)

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made covering that fits snugly over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and functionality. At Cullompton Dental and Implant Centre, we often recommend crowns for teeth that have suffered extensive decay, cracks, or have had root canal treatment. Crowns not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also provide essential protection against further damage. Typically, getting a crown involves two appointments: the first to prepare the tooth and take precise impressions, and the second to fit the permanent crown. Today’s crowns are crafted from durable, natural-looking materials, allowing you to regain confidence in your smile.

Onlays

For teeth with significant damage yet still healthy enough to avoid a full crown, onlays offer an excellent restorative option. Onlays are carefully designed restorations that cover the entire biting surface while preserving more of your natural tooth than a traditional crown would. Made from strong materials like porcelain or composite resin, onlays are matched to the colour of your teeth for a seamless, aesthetic finish. They provide a reliable and long-lasting solution that maintains both the function and structure of your tooth. Our team ensures your onlay fits perfectly to restore comfort and bite.
