Are you curious about CEREC same-day crowns? You’re not alone. As more people hear about this innovative dental treatment, the interest in CEREC crown technology grows. Drs. David Seccombe, Nicholas Gih and their team from Courtyard Dentistry is your CEREC crown dentist in the Claremont, California, area. These answers will give you a better understanding of how CEREC crowns work and their benefits.
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that we can use to cover a tooth compromised by wear and tear, damage, or decay. The crown replaces your tooth’s vulnerable structure with one that’s strong and healthy for biting and chewing. Traditional crowns can take up to two weeks to complete. CEREC crowns can be designed, milled, and placed in a single day, providing instant restoration for your tooth.
Here are the steps to getting a CEREC crown:
Evaluation: We will evaluate your tooth to confirm that a crown is the best treatment option. If so, we’ll prep your tooth to receive a crown by reshaping its structure.
Scanning: Using digital imaging, we’ll scan your teeth to take accurate impressions from which your crown will be fabricated.
Designing: We’ll use computer-aided design software to create a model of your crown from the impressions taken earlier.
Milling: While you wait comfortably in our office, we’ll mill your crown onsite from a block of ceramic material.
Placing: When the crown is finished, we’ll place it over your tooth to ensure a perfect fit and cement it in place permanently.
A CEREC crown typically lasts as long as a traditional crown, approximately 10 to 15 years. Good oral care will keep your crown going strong for years.
If you’re questioning the value of CEREC crowns, take into account the following factors:
CEREC crowns are strong, efficient, and long-lasting, just like traditional crowns. One of the main differences is composition. CEREC crowns are made of high-grade ceramic material. Traditional crowns can be ceramic, metal, or porcelain fused to metal. Crowns with metal are stronger and more capable of withstanding the pressure of biting and chewing, which could make them a better choice for restoring severely damaged back teeth.
