A newly-formed cavity might escape your notice – without an examination from your dentist, you could miss early signs of tooth decay. That being said, a cavity that starts to cause discomfort can be difficult to overlook. The restorative dental work your dentist provides will change once a cavity has accessed your pulp, and started causing you to feel pain. You will need to have endodontic care from a root canal treatment, and your tooth will need to have a dental crown placed. Your dentist’s use of CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology will actually streamline the process of restoring your tooth after treatment, as this technology eliminates the need for a follow-up appointment to place the crown.
A Dental Crown Can Be Placed In One Visit Thanks To CEREC Same-Day Crowns Technology
CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology eliminates the need for you and your dentist to wait on a dental lab to craft your crown. What will happen instead is your dentist will take measurements, design your crown, and have it produced in-house from a milling machine. You will receive a lifelike ceramic dental crown that is ready to be fitted on your tooth during that initial appointment.
Lowering Your Risk For Serious Cavities
One obvious way to avoid serious cavities is just to avoid cavities. Improving your brushing and flossing habits, cutting harmful products like sugar from your diet, and seeing your dentist for regular checkups can help to better protect you against decay. However, even with great at-home care, you should not feel that dental visits are replaceable. If a cavity does form, a checkup gives your dentist the chance to spot the problem, and address it, before it becomes serious.
