For most people the phrase “crowning glory” refers to gorgeous locks of hair, but here at the Dr Robb All Smiles Practice it’s your pearly whites we’d like to chat about.
Sometimes your teeth get damaged and Dr Robb may suggest a crown. So what is a crown?

“It’s a permanent prosthetic cemented to your tooth and it’s used to cap a tooth for strengthening, cosmetic or alignment purposes.”*
One of the amazing things about Dr Robb’s practice is that you can get a 1 day crown, meaning that a process that can take up to a week, leaving you with a gap in your smile takes only a few hours with Dr Robb.

Why? Her fabulous CEREC machine! You can see your new shiny white tooth being created as you wait and the fitting doesn’t take too long either. “We’ve had a number of patients come in, very distressed because a tooth has broken, chipped or discoloured and the thought of not being able to smile for a week is just not an option.” Says Dr Robb. “The CEREC machine is a marvel of modern technology and enables us to fix smiles that much faster.”
So next time you bite into an apple (or a piece of peanut brittle) and your tooth is worse for wear, we’re happy to help with a CEREC tooth that can become your crowning glory!
