If you’ve ever harmed a tooth, you know how frustrating this can be to experience. You may worry that it can’t be fixed, or that you will need extensive restorations to repair the injury. The team at Grinnell Street Dental may be able to help fix your broken tooth on the same day, so you can spend less time worrying about the injury. Today, we’re here to explore how CEREC technology can repair your smile in just one visit.
A Way To Restore Your Smile
A dental crown is a cap that is placed over the top of your tooth. It can help protect it from further injury, improve the tooth’s function, and create a natural appearance. This cap may also be used in combination with other restorations, like root canals, dental implants, and bridges, to fully renew your pearly whites. A dental bridge can be used to replace up to three missing teeth in the same area. This is a fixed prosthetic that does not need to be removed to clean or care for. Caps are placed on the adjacent teeth to help support the pontic.
An impression will be used to create the restoration piece. Crowns and bridges are created to appear lifelike and blend in with your natural smile. They can be made of materials like porcelain, resin, or zirconia for a natural appearance. Once you receive the restoration, it should last for many years with proper maintenance. You must continue to practice your regular oral hygiene routine to keep your gums and remaining teeth healthy.
How CEREC Technology Expedites The Process
As mentioned above, it can take several weeks for a traditional restoration to be made. However, advances in technology can help make this process occur much faster. This offers the benefit of a faster recovery time and a decreased chance of further harm to the area. If you have broken or damaged a tooth, repairing the area quickly can ensure that the break does not worsen or become infected. For patients experiencing tooth loss, receiving a replacement option in less time can boost your confidence and improve your smile’s function.
With CEREC technology, measurements will be taken and sent to our on-site machine on the same day. You won’t have to come in for several appointments to take measurements and then wait for your restoration to be made. Instead, the piece can be crafted in the same day. It will be created to look natural and blend in with your smile. Like other restorations, you will continue to care for your smile as usual with a regular oral hygiene routine and visits to the dentist.
