What Are CEREC Crowns and How Can They Help?
Everything You Need to Know About CEREC Crowns
If you’ve been told you need a dental crown, you may already be wondering about the best option to restore your tooth. At Anderson General Dentistry, we’re proud to offer CEREC Crowns, also known as Same-Day Crowns, as a convenient and effective solution. Here’s everything you need to know about these advanced tooth crowns and why they might be right for you.
What Are CEREC Crowns?
CEREC Crowns are a high-tech alternative to traditional dental crowns. Using advanced 3D imaging and milling technology, we craft your custom crown in a single visit. Unlike traditional crowns, which may require two or more appointments and the use of temporary tooth crowns, CEREC Crowns save you time by delivering a permanent solution the same day. These crowns are strong, durable, and designed to blend beautifully with your natural smile.
How Long Do CEREC Crowns Last?
With proper care, CEREC Crowns can last 10 to 15 years or even longer. Maintaining a good oral hygiene routine with daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups will help extend the life of your crown. Their strength and resilience make them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health.
Who Is a Good Candidate for CEREC Crowns?
CEREC Crowns are a great choice for anyone needing a crown to repair a damaged or weakened tooth. They’re ideal for patients with cracked teeth, large cavities, or worn enamel. However, if your tooth is significantly damaged below the gumline, a traditional crown or another treatment may be a better fit. We’ll work with you to determine the best option for your unique needs.
The CEREC Crown Process
Getting a CEREC Crown is simple and efficient. During your visit, we’ll start by preparing the damaged tooth, removing any decay, and shaping it for the crown. Then, we’ll take a digital scan of your teeth. This 3D model allows us to design your custom tooth crown while you relax. Once the crown is designed, it’s milled right in our office. Within hours, your new crown is bonded securely to your tooth.
Caring for Your CEREC Crown
Caring for your CEREC Crown is just like caring for your natural teeth. Be sure to brush twice a day, floss daily, and avoid biting down on hard objects like ice or pens. Regular dental checkups give us the chance to monitor your crown and ensure it’s performing well.
Why Choose CEREC Crowns Over Traditional Dental Crowns?
While traditional crowns require multiple visits and sometimes weeks of waiting, CEREC Same-Day Crowns streamline the process. There’s no need for a temporary crown or repeat appointments. You leave our office with a fully restored smile in just one visit. Additionally, the precision of digital scanning means a perfect fit and appearance every time.
