With CEREC technology, our team can create and secure a dental crown in only one visit! You don’t need to miss multiple days of work or school; you can obtain quality restoration in one appointment. In today’s blog, your Sheridan, WY, dentist explains how the CEREC system allows to provide same-day dental crowns.
The Reasons We Prescribe a Restoration
Our team may recommend a dental crown to address a number of cosmetic or restorative concerns. For example, we can reshape malformed teeth, improve overall bite balance and chewing function, and even repair cracked or chipped teeth. Placement could lengthen teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding), and also aid in tooth replacement. For example, we can use one or two to support a dental bridge, or a single one to complete an individual dental implant. This is because they’re not only durable and strong, but lifelike in appearance as well!
The Process of Same-Day Placement
How do we create and place a dental crown in only one visit? To get started, our team will first numb the tooth and gently remove a bit of structure from it. Our team then takes detailed digital images of the teeth from multiple angles. We use these images to create an impression and design the restoration. We upload the information into an onsite milling machine, which crafts the finished product from a solid block of porcelain. The material is not only strong and durable, but can be shaded to blend with the rest of your smile seamlessly. When the restoration is complete, we will check the fit and then attach the finished product with a powerful bonding agent. In one visit, we can secure a custom crown that looks natural!
Keeping Restorations Bright and Strong
To ensure they last and stay bright, you need to care for them alongside your natural teeth. Be sure you clean the newly restored teeth when you brush and floss each day, and try to cut back on sugary foods and drinks. These actions help limit the severity of plaque buildup, so your risk of tooth decay, dental infection, and periodontal disease is limited as well. This helps your new restoration last, and also protects your natural teeth at the same time. If you have any questions about how our team repairs teeth in only one visit with the CEREC system, or if you think you need a same-day dental crown, then contact our team today to learn more.
