- Durability: CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are strong, durable, and long-lasting, providing you with a restoration that can withstand the demands of everyday use.
Why You Need a Crown:
We commonly use dental crowns to:
- Restore a tooth that has been severely damaged or decayed.
- Strengthen a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy.
- Protect a tooth that is cracked, fractured, or weakened.
- Improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth.
- Support a dental bridge or cover a dental implant.
If you have a tooth that needs restoration, a dental crown may be the ideal solution to restore its strength, function, and appearance.
What to Expect When Getting a Same-Day Crown
- Preparation: Dr. Rob will prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay or damage and reshaping it to accommodate the dental crown.
- Digital Impression: Using CEREC technology, a digital impression of your prepared tooth will be captured with a specialized camera, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions.
- Design: Dr. Rob will use CAD software to design your custom crown, taking into account the unique characteristics of your smile, such as color, shape, and size.
- Fabrication: Once the design is complete, we will send the specifications to our in-house milling unit, which will fabricate your crown from a block of high-quality ceramic material.
- Placement: After the crown is milled, Dr. Rob will ensure it fits properly and make any necessary adjustments. Once satisfied, the crown will be bonded securely to your tooth, completing the restoration process.
How to Care for Your Crown
To ensure the longevity of your CEREC same-day crown, it’s essential to:
- Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.
- Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods that could damage your crown.
- Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings to monitor your crowns and surrounding teeth’ health.
With proper care and maintenance, your CEREC same-day crown can provide you with years of reliable function and a beautiful smile.
