Quiz: Restoring A Tooth With A Dental Crown

A damaged or vulnerable tooth can be a nuisance. A sensitive or painful tooth can be an unpleasant diversion throughout your day, and if your problem involves an infection, you could be at risk for more oral health worries. When a tooth needs serious protection, your dentist can provide you with a dental crown. Crowns offer total coverage above the gum line – when you select a ceramic crown, your restoration can be life-like enough to be inconspicuous. You can enjoy lasting restorative dental care provided by a dental crown; CEREC technology can ensure that you enjoy that care after just one visit.

Questions:

True Or False: CEREC technology can provide you with a crown in two visits.

True Or False: A dental filling can be used on smaller cavities, but larger cavities will make the use of a crown necessary.

True Or False: If a tooth’s function is affected by an injury, a crown can only keep it safe as long as you avoid putting pressure on it.

Answers:

False! With CEREC technology, your dentist can have your permanent crown ready for you after just one visit. The tools they need to measure your tooth, design your crown, and have it produced are all located in the office.

True! If a cavity is caught in time, it can be small enough to make a filling a viable treatment for you. However, larger cavities will damage a tooth to the point that a crown’s protection is needed.

False! A crown is designed to be durable, so that you can bite and chew comfortably.
