If you need to have a dental crown, you might want to consider same day crowns. You might need one because of severe decay or a broken tooth. If you have a busy life, you may wonder how you can fit the dental appointments into your life. Luckily, with same day crowns, you only need to make one appointment with your dentist.
About the CEREC® technology
With the CEREC® same-day technology, a dentist can make a porcelain crown in only one visit. That way, patients can continue with their busy lives. There are more advancements than ever in today’s technology. That means that dentists can now have CEREC machines in the office. This machine is what is used to make the customized dental crown in just one visit. This will help the patient to get the needed results out of a dental crown.
What to expect during the procedure
First, the dentist will look at the teeth and determine the right treatment. The dentist can see if the patient needs a crown or a simple filling. If a crown is needed, the tooth will be prepared for the procedure. That includes removing any decay or infected tissue. Then the tooth will be ground down and shaped for the crown.
Next, the dentist will use the machine to take a digital image of the patient’s tooth. This will go right to the CEREC machine. Its software can create a model of the patient’s tooth and the surrounding area. After looking at this model, the dentist can design the same day crowns. This design will go to the machine that can start to make the crown for the patient.
The material will match the shade of the tooth, so it will blend in well. In the end, the dentist will look at how well the crown fits the tooth. If necessary, some simple revisions can be made now. Finally, the dentist can bond the crown to the tooth, remove any debris, and polish it.
Getting a CEREC crown
With same day crowns, patients can still get the same quality of crown as with a traditional one. This can save patients time since there is only one visit to the dentist. The patient will get the crown in only one day, which can be better for the injured tooth. After the procedure, it is easy for patients to go back to normal activities.
They will not be limited in eating foods after this either. However, some patients might clench or grind the teeth and not have a nightguard. These patients might need to have a crown made in a lab to prevent damage. The dentist can decide if the patient should get a crown in the lab instead.
Get same day crowns today
When you need to get a crown, time is important. Your tooth will be damaged, so it is a good idea to have it covered as soon as possible. With the technology used in same day crowns, this is now possible. Visiting your dentist will help you get the right crown for you.
