How a CEREC Same-Day Crown Can Benefit You
Forget the old process of restoring a weakened tooth and open yourself up to receiving a CEREC same-day crown. With this procedure, you can walk in to see our Jackson, MI, dentists and leave after some time with a brand new, beautiful crown that perfectly matches the rest of your smile.
Need more convincing? Here are 4 benefits of choosing CEREC crowns.
Same-Day Crowns Allow For:
1. The Process to Move Forward Without a Temporary Crown
When traditional dental crowns used to be the only option available, temporary crowns were always involved. This was because dental impressions had to be sent to an offsite lab where it would typically take a few weeks for fabrication. Patients, in the meantime, were left to care for a temporary solution that wasn’t the most comfortable.
Fortunately, you can completely forget about ill-fitting temporary crowns when it comes to the CEREC same-day crown procedure. Your custom-made crown is created by our dentists right here in our Jackson, MI, dental office.
That means no waiting multiple visits and definitely no temporary crowns that might shift or put you at risk for other dental problems.
2. Less Time in the Dental Chair
You can say goodbye to multiple dental visits with CEREC same-day crowns. After all, it’s right in the name: same-day. Thanks to a milling unit present in the office, our dentists can go from scanning your tooth and designing the crown on the computer to creating the final product.
Once our dentists have made sure the new crown is the right shade, size, and shape, we will permanently place it in your mouth. All you need to do is bite down at the end to make sure the crown fits properly and you’re good to go!
3. A Natural Looking (and Feeling) Solution
Whether you receive a CEREC crown following a root canal procedure or need a large cavity taken care of, you can have the same stunning look. The natural appearance of the produced crown is made possible by the tooth-colored ceramic used during fabrication.
Not only is the material strong, but its ability to match the color of your tooth’s natural enamel prevents anyone from knowing you’ve had a crown placed. On average, CEREC crowns are also known to last up to 15 years if regular oral hygiene is practiced.
4. Digital Impressions Only
If you’ve ever had dental impressions taken in the past, you might have a memory of goopy putty in a tray that just caused a mess. Luckily, there is no such thing used when CEREC technology is involved. Instead, our dentists use a slim camera to take digital scans of your teeth.
These digital dental impressions are perfect for patients with a high gag reflex that might’ve been bothered by the old method. Comfort is a high priority in our office which is why we love offering CEREC same-day crowns to those who need them.
