Why A Ceramic-Made Crown Is Good News For Your Smile

why a ceramic-made crown is good news for your smileA serious cavity is bad news for your tooth. The good news is that your dentist can eliminate the decay that is occurring, and make sure you leave with your smile unaffected. How is this possible? A dental restoration can be provided that offers effective care, AND a pleasing appearance. If you need a filling, one made from composite resin will blend in with the surrounding enamel, so that it does not alter your appearance. A dental crown made of porcelain has a lifelike appearance, and actually reflects light in the same way your enamel does. Because your dentist has CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology at the office, you can actually receive an attractive dental crown in just a single visit.

A CEREC Same-Day Crowns Crown Spares You A Delayed Restoration

Without CEREC Same-Day Crowns, you are stuck with a waiting period between having your tooth prepared and measured for a crown, and actually receiving it. CEREC Same-Day Crowns uses CAD/CAM technology (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) to eliminate that awkward delay. Your dentist can have a sturdy, custom-sized crown made in the office. The ceramic material is able to look like a natural tooth, and it offers the necessary strength to be used for biting and chewing, too.

A Dental Filling Can Be Cosmetically Pleasing, Too

A dental filling made from composite resin offers a range of benefits over metal. They are biocompatible, meaning there will be less friction between the filling and surrounding tooth, and can bond to your tooth directly. They also blend in effectively with the tooth being treated, which is why this type of filling is commonly known as a “tooth-colored” filling.
