Crowns are often needed when a large cavity or a broken piece off of a tooth threatens the ongoing health of the tooth. The innovative Bluecam technology will enable the Area Dental Lab's all-ceramic team to leap to the next level of dental laboratory technology in creating dental crowns.Ī dental crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth. The professionals at the Peterson Area Dental Lab are adding a new tool to their arsenal: the Bluecam bench top scanner.
