What if we told you we could give you a brand new dental crown in just one visit to the dentist? Well, you’re in luck! We have the technology here at Helotes Family Dental to do just that. In this blog post, we are going to explore the groundbreaking technology of CEREC® Same-Day Crowns.
Why Would I Need a Dental Crown?
Just like a traditional dental crown, CEREC Same-Day Crowns are a versatile restoration that can be used to address a range of different dental issues. Here at Helotes Family Dentistry, we commonly use dental crowns to treat the following:
1. Worn tooth
2. Misshapen tooth
3. Discolored tooth
4. Chipped or cracked tooth
5. Support after a root canal
6. Support for a dental bridge
7. Restoration for a dental implant
What’s the CEREC Process?
The CEREC process is really what sets these apart from traditional crowns. The procedure begins with a digital impression of the tooth. The CEREC software takes the impression and creates a virtual model. Next, it sends the model to our in-house milling machine. Then the crown is made on-site, while you wait. Finally, when it’s ready, we bond the restoration, check the fit, and you’re good to go–all on the same visit!
What Is a CEREC Crown Made Of?
Our CEREC dental crowns are each milled from a solid block of tooth-colored ceramic. The ceramic material offers a realistic look and feel that is very durable. These crowns allow you to speak, eat, and smile as you normally would. Once the custom crown is bonded, you’ll forget it’s even there!
