Harming a tooth can be stressful, but your team at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY is here to help. If you’ve damaged one of your pearly whites, you need swift care to help take care of the problem and protect your smile. We may be able to create a restoration for you in the same day with the help of our CEREC technology. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about the benefits of this fast treatment.
Crowns Can Restore Your Smile After Injuries
When do you need a dental crown? This restoration can be used to help restore your tooth after many types of injuries. If you grind your teeth, they may have become more sensitive and susceptible to breakage. A cap can be added over your structure to keep it protected from further harm. Your dentist may recommend having one placed after getting a root canal done, as your dental structure may be weaker after having the pulp removed. The cap can be added after you have recovered for further protection and to help improve your ability to chew foods. They may also be used to help recover a fractured pearly white so that it does not break further or become infected.
Repair Your Tooth In Just One Day
Traditionally, you would need several appointments to have the injury examined, take an impression of the area, create the crown, and have it secured in place. With advanced CEREC technology, you may be able to have a repaired dental structure in just one single appointment. Your dentist will examine your smile and take impressions of the area using an intraoral camera, and the measurements will be sent directly to the machine where your restoration is created. Instead of waiting several weeks to repair the injury, it can be done in a single appointment, allowing you to feel more secure in your smile. You may be able to include this in a full-mouth rehabilitation plan if you have several restorations that need to be done.
We Can Replace Missing Teeth With A Bridge
If the injury cannot be repaired, or you have experienced tooth loss, we can help with that as well. A dental bridge can help replace up to three of your lost pearly whites in the same row. In some cases, we may be able to create your bridge with our CEREC technology so that you can have a full smile in less time. Instead of waiting for it to be created elsewhere, you can have your prosthetic made in our office and secured in less time. This means you will have an improved ability to eat, speak, and smile in a fraction of the time. Your bridge will be made out of durable and lifelike materials that look natural and can last several years.
