Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a weakened or damaged tooth. Crowns are commonly made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, with porcelain being a popular choice for its natural look and durability. A crown restores your tooth’s strength, shape, and size while blending seamlessly with your smile.
Why Might You Need a Dental Crown?
You may need a dental crown if:
-
Your tooth is broken or cracked from injury or wear.
-
A large cavity requires more than just a filling.
-
You’ve had a root canal, and the tooth needs protection.
-
You want to improve the appearance of a tooth that’s discolored or misshapen.
Crowns help you keep your natural tooth and prevent further damage while restoring its function.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a permanent restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) supported by crowns placed on the neighboring natural teeth. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably while also improving the aesthetics of your smile.
Why Consider a Dental Bridge?
If you are missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge might be the ideal solution if:
-
You prefer a fixed solution over removable dentures.
-
You want to restore proper bite function and maintain your smile’s appearance.
-
You’d like to prevent remaining teeth from shifting into the empty space left by missing teeth.
Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology
One of the standout features of our practice is the use of CEREC technology, which allows us to provide same-day crowns. Typically, receiving a crown requires multiple visits, but with CEREC, we can complete the entire process in just one appointment.
Here’s how it works:
-
Digital Impressions: We take digital scans of your tooth, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions.
-
Customized Design: Using CEREC software, we design your crown to match your tooth’s natural contours and color.
-
In-Office Milling: The CEREC milling machine fabricates your crown right here in our office while you wait.
-
Placement: Once your crown is ready, we check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before placing it on your tooth.
This advanced technology not only saves you time but also ensures that your crown is perfectly fitted and ready to restore your smile in just a single visit.
Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges
Whether you need a crown or a bridge, these treatments offer numerous advantages:
-
Restored Function: Both crowns and bridges restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
-
Natural Appearance: Modern materials like porcelain and ceramic ensure that your crowns and bridges blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
-
Long-Lasting: With proper care, both crowns and bridges can last for many years, providing a durable and reliable solution.
