Can you imagine damaging one of your front teeth? It could be from developing decay or even trauma. Would you be embarrassed to laugh and smile as normal? Most patients would be.
Your dentist understands how unsightly a damaged smile can be and the negative effect it directly has on your confidence. That’s why many dentists offer same day crowns with advanced CEREC technology.
When is it necessary to get a dental crown?
There are several reasons dentists recommend dental crown. Usually, a tooth-colored dental crown is placed over a damaged tooth to improve structure and its appearance. Here are some of the most common reasons a Summerlin dentist may recommend placing a dental crown if you:
- have tooth decay that’s too large for a traditional filling.
- have cracked, broken or severely worn-down teeth.
- replaced a missing tooth with a dental implant.
- need to support a dental bridge placement.
- have misshapen or discolored teeth.
What is it like to get a dental crown placed?
If you’re familiar with dental restorations, placing dental crowns can be a messy process. Not only that, but it can be long and inconvenient to patients and their busy schedules.
First, you would normally start the process by visiting a local dental office for an exam so that your dentist can evaluate the health of your mouth. If your dentist concludes that a crown is best for restoring and/or correcting your smile, your office will normally schedule another visit so the dentist can prepare your tooth and create a temporary crown.
After your permanent crown is created in a lab separate from your original office, it can be weeks or even months before your permanent crown is ready. Imagine having a damaged smile for weeks? It’s so inconvenient! Thankfully, there’s another better option available.
What are the benefits of CEREC dental crowns?
There are many dentists that have invested in the advanced technology that offers patients the ability to receive a same day dental crown. Here’s why there are so many practices that want to add an additional value to their patients.
Achieve Fast Results
CEREC technology saves time and makes your dental visits faster than many patients anticipate. You can have your dental crown crafted and placed in one appointment.
Receive Superior Results
The digital imaging gives us the confidence we need to make sure your dental piece fits your mouth perfectly. Since you’re still in the office while it’s being created, we can alter the restoration to fit perfectly.
Get Permanent Results
Past dental crown processes required the patients to wait out the procedure with a temporary crown. It was hard to get them to fit perfectly and can be a hassle between dental appointments. CEREC permanently places crowns the same day.
Eliminate Annoying Impressions
Traditional crowns required patients to have impressions done of their teeth by using a messy elastic material. Since CEREC is all-digital, this eliminates the need for that.
Love Your Attractive Results
The restorations produced by CEREC are created from professional-grade tooth-colored dental materials. Crowns in the past were normally made from metal which stood out among your natural smile. CEREC crowns are durable and are non-invasive to remaining healthy tooth.
Do you need a tooth to be swiftly restored? It’s time to find a local dentist that offers advanced CEREC crowns.
