What does CEREC technology change about your restorative dental care experience? If you have a problem that calls for a dental crown, it allows you to have your custom-made restoration in a single visit. This means no waiting on protection for a problem tooth. CEREC puts the tools needed to design and construct a ceramic dental crown in your dentist’s office. In a single appointment, you can have measurements of your tooth taken, and the crown can be produced by a milling machine, ready to place by the end of your visit. Because your crown is made from ceramic, your restoration will avoid changing the look of your smile.
Eliminating The Follow-Up Appointment For Your Dental Crown
By eliminating a follow-up appointment, you ensure your vulnerable tooth is protected sooner. It also spares you from depending on a temporary crown while a dental lab constructs your permanent crown.
Different Types Of Dental Crown
A complete dental crown will cover the entirety of your tooth all the way to your gum line. Not every issue will call for this. Depending on your circumstances, you could be provided with an inlay, or an onlay. An inlay is situated between a tooth’s cusps. An onlay will cover one cusp (or multiple cusps, if needed) and will cover one side of your tooth.
With Routine Dental Visits, You Can Stop A Problem Before You Need A Crown
If your dental care comes in time, you can stop a problem before a crown is called for. If a cavity is identified and remove while it only affects the outer layer of your tooth (the enamel), your tooth can be restored with a tooth-colored dental filling.
