There are many different reasons why dental crowns are such a popular restorative dental treatment. On one hand, they’ve been around for centuries, and have continuously proved successful at restoring teeth with a wide range of concerns. On the other hand, today’s dental crowns are also so lifelike in appearance and durable in their construction that they can be utilized for a wide range of restorative and cosmetic purposes. Today, we examine another important aspect of modern dental crowns, particularly those created using CEREC technology that allow for the immediate design and placement of your custom restoration.
Why choose a crown to restore your tooth?
The ability to restore teeth from a variety of different concerns is one of the more important reasons for choosing a dental crown. The custom restoration is designed to mimic the full, healthy structure of your natural tooth, and is placed over the tooth to completely restore and protect it. By doing so, a custom dental crown can effectively address concerns such as tooth wear and damage, malformations of the tooth structure, severe cosmetic blemishes, and much more. With a dental crown secured in place over it, the tooth in questions will not only have its strength and integrity restored, but also its ability to function properly and benefit the rest of your oral health.
How CEREC dental crowns are different
CEREC dental crowns are designed to restore teeth in the same way as more conventional custom crowns, but with one key difference. Rather than being crafted at an off-site lab, CEREC crowns are designed, crafted, and placed all within a single office. This offers a wide range of benefits for patients who need to restore a tooth with a dental crown, as it makes the entire process much simpler and more convenient. Compared to more traditional dental crown placement, which can take weeks to complete, treatment with CEREC can be completed within a single day.
The benefits of a same-day dental crown
Having your dental crown secured over your compromised tooth in just one day means several things for your smile restoration process. Not only can you save an extra trip to the dentist’s office, but you can also reduce the chances of further damaging your tooth as you wait for your crown to be placed. The high level of precision the digital CEREC system offers helps ensure optimal results in creating your customized, highly lifelike crown, providing both cosmetic and restorative advantages for your tooth and smile.
