Dental Crowns in Tuggerah – How It Works
If you have ever had a crown or veneer done using the old method, you might remember the gooey putty and long wait times. Traditionally, dental impressions are taken using trays filled with moulding material, and restorations may take several weeks to return from a dental lab.
At our Tuggerah clinic, we use digital impression technology with the Trios intraoral scanner to create precise 3D virtual models of your teeth. This scanner eliminates the need for physical impressions and speeds up the entire process.
Thanks to 3D CAD CAM technology, we can often design, fabricate and place digital crowns in a single visit—no temporary crowns or multiple appointments required.
The Process
Tooth Preparation
We start by removing any decay and reshaping the tooth to support the new restoration. This is the same as with traditional crowns.
Digital Scanning
We then use a handheld Trios scanner to scan your teeth, producing a real time 3D image on screen. This allows us to view your bite and tooth anatomy with extreme accuracy. If a temporary crown is needed, we ensure it fits perfectly from the start.
Immediate Design and Fabrication
Once the scan is complete, the images are sent to our on site lab where your restoration is designed and milled on the spot, ensuring a faster turnaround.

Digital Crowns in Tuggerah – Creation and Design
State of the art 3D printers and dental crown making machines (known as milling machines) are then used to create your digital crowns from a single block of solid zirconium block.

Wave goodbye to goo – Finally, you can say farewell to the messy, putty-like substance previously needed for creating impressions. Tugerah patients have told us in the past that this was the part that they really didn’t like when getting dental restorations.
No more gagging or miscalculation – Using digital impressions for prosthodontics allows us to see right away whether or not we’ve prepared the tooth adequately for restoration. This, in turn, makes for a better patient experience (no gagging and no need for expensive retakes) as the images ensure that restorations are created easily and quickly.
Same day digital crowns – Most digitally processed dental crowns can be fabricated and fitted in just one day. What’s more, the majority of other dental restorations can also be completed faster using this method over the traditional procedure.
As you can see, fitting dental crowns, bridges and veneers using digital processes has many advantages for both dentist and patient. They make for a more accurate prosthetic using cleaner, faster, streamlined techniques that will serve to enhance your smile.
