CEREC Crowns Can Repair Your Smile In A Day
Do you know what to do if you harm a tooth? This can be a scary situation that may cause discomfort and worry. Your Cleveland, TX, dental team can help you through this problem and repair your pearly whites. In many cases, this can be fixed with a dental crown that could renew the appearance and function of your tooth.
How Dental Crowns Can Help
This restoration is used to protect and repair a damaged tooth. These can be made out of various materials depending on where it will be used. Porcelain is often used if the cap will be added to a highly visible area. If you need one placed over your back molars, metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal may be used instead. Crowns may be helpful if you have severely worn teeth, a fracture, or before having a bridge installed.
If you have harmed one of your pearly whites in an accident, it is important to have the area looked at as soon as possible. Ignoring this problem can put you at risk of the injury worsening or becoming infected. Your dental team will examine the area and determine what the best treatment may be.
Receiving Your Restoration In One Day
Your dentist will do their best to keep your natural dental structure intact for as long as possible. If they have become worn down due to bruxism, these caps can be placed to protect them from further harm. Having severely worn teeth can make it easier for cavities to form and may cause your teeth to feel sensitive when eating certain foods. By restoring them, you can chew more comfortably and reduce the chances of losing them. Your dentist may suggest a crown if your tooth has been chipped or cracked, too.
Traditionally, it could take several weeks to have this restorative piece created. However, our office uses CEREC technology which allows us to create the cap in less time. Your dentist will take an impression of the area and send it to our on-site machine. In many cases, this can be created in the same day.
The Benefits Of This Expedited Process
By having this restoration done on the same day, you will be able to get back to your day’s plans without needing to worry about your tooth. A CEREC crown will last as long as a traditional one, will blend in with your natural smile, and can restore the function of your oral cavity. It can also reduce the time you need to spend in the dentist office. Usually, getting a cap could take several visits. With CEREC technology, it can be done in less time.
