Procera Crown | La Jolla, CA | Darryl Abramson, D.D.S.

Procera Crown

IMPROVING EXISTING TEETH

If a tooth is damaged or of poor quality, a new ceramic crown is probably the best solution. Installation is fast. The end result is fantastic.

The all-ceramic Procera crown has many advantages over traditional crowns. Besides its high esthetic qualities, the function and longevity of the crown is excellent as well.

Benefits of a new Procera crown:

Superior esthetic result, compared to traditional crowns
Easy installation, quick results
Short and convenient treatment

Treatment:

In the best case, the new crown is installed in two dentist visits in one week's time. The inconvenience and after-effects will be minimal.

COURSE OF TREATMENT

PLACING A NEW CROWN – STEP-BY-STEP

The course of treatment described here is one of several options available. Consult your dentist to find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.


1: Before the procedure The dentist makes a first evaluation and makes an impression of the existing crown. The impression is used as the prototype for the new crown.		2: Preparing the old tooth The natural tooth is given minor preparation or adjustments. A temporary crown is attached.


3: Placing the new crown A week or so after the first visit, the permanent crown is securely fitted. Normally, it will serve its owner for life.		4: End result The end result is a new tooth that should blend in perfectly with the others. Brush and floss as recommended by your dentist or dental hygienist.

ALTERNATIVES TO AN ALL-CERAMIC CROWN

Porcelain fused to metal

Simply put, a new all-ceramic Procera crown is esthetically superior to any other type of crown. You just can't get the same finish and natural, living look with a traditional metal core crown. However, the latter is an established and well-known solution. This is probably why it is still commonly used, even though function, installation and price are normally equal to that of a ceramic crown.

Testimonials

"My family has been seeing Dr. Abramson for about 5 years. He has been great. His staff is very friendly and willing to work with you to understand finances. Dr. Abramson has been great on explaining options and the pros and cons of different approaches. He also has a great bedside manner and makes the visit to the dentist as comfortable as it can be. I personally hate shots but he is a pro that makes them no big deal. He also treats my wife and two daughters and they all enjoy the visits (as much as one enjoys a trip to the dentist.)"

"What a relief to find a dentist you can trust who is not trying to sell services and products. Everyone is very warm and welcoming. The best dentist visit that I have had since my childhood dentist retired. Thank you!"

Patricia P.

"My dentist for the past 18 years unexpectedly had to retire. The process of finding a new dentist was quite a challenge. So glad I found Dr. Abramson. Ironically I walked past Dr. Abramson's office a few dozen times on the way to see my orthopedic right next door for years and never knew he was right there all along. Dr. Abramson and his staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Pricing is reasonable compared to other dentist offices I called or visited. No one likes to go to the dentist....but Dr. Abramson makes the experience painless. Never thought I'd ever say "I enjoyed going to the dentist." That's how you'll feel after a visit with Dr. Abramson."
