If a cavity is given enough time, a tooth can experience serious problems related to decay. If you are not keeping up with regular dental exams, you may not realize that you have an issue with a cavity until you start feeling the unpleasant symptoms of a tooth infection. At this stage, it will take more work to make sure your tooth’s health is fully restored. Fortunately, you can receive advanced care with less wait at your Bellaire, TX dentist’s office. Because patients at our practice have access to one-visit dental crowns, we can make sure your cavity treatment is complete without an awkward delay!
Damage From A Cavity Is Permanent
There is good reason to worry about the effect a cavity is ultimately going to have on your smile. While restorative dental work can protect your tooth, and address appearance issues, the damage itself is permanent. At the end of a procedure to protect your tooth from decay, your dentist has to provide a restoration that can give a tooth important support that will last for many years. You can be happy to know that one-visit crowns are able to provide that durability, while being of admirable cosmetic quality.
Receiving Your CEREC Dental Crown
While practices often depend on a third party lab to create custom restorations based on the measurements of a patient’s tooth, our office uses CEREC technology to handle the making of dental crowns. After digital measurements of your tooth are taken, CAD/CAM technology can take that information and create a crown specifically meant for your tooth. Once the design is ready, an in-house milling machine yields a lifelike ceramic dental crown. Once placed, you can count on the crown to protect your tooth, and you can be happy to see how easily it fits in with your smile.
Your Restored Tooth Should Help You Bite, Chew, And Speak With Confidence
Ceramic crowns are able to mimic dental enamel, so you can feel confident in your smile. While these crowns, like modern dental fillings, are useful for blending in with your appearance, they also play an important role in maintaining your dental function. You should be comfortable putting pressure on your restoration when you bite and chew food. Keeping your natural bite allows you to distribute wear and tear evenly across teeth, rather than demanding too much from certain teeth. This natural movement also protects you against problems with TMJ dysfunction.
