When a tooth is in poor condition because of an advanced cavity, or due to a physical injury, a dental filling can fail to provide adequate support. In some circumstances, it will be necessary to craft and place a custom dental crown. At other practices, you may find yourself waiting to complete treatment because a third party lab has to develop your restoration. However, at our Bellaire,TX dentist’s office, you can receive your crown in just one appointment! This is because we rely on CEREC technology to design and produce attractive restorations for patients. In addition to protecting your tooth from further harm and restoring your appearance, a CEREC crown can provide important support when you bite and chew.
An In-Office Crown Can Provide Greater Convenience
It can be hard to think about restorative dentistry as convenient – after all, the most convenient scenario is one where you do not need dental work at all! With that said, a problem that goes untreated can become increasingly harmful to your oral health. For example, a cavity that is not treated can eventually cause an internal infection of your tooth, which leads to discomfort and the threat of complications. By visiting our practice for treatment, you can have work done to restore your tooth’s health, and have your permanent restoration placed, in as little as one visit. For practices without same-day crowns, treatment can be prolonged, and you can spend an extended period of time reliant on an less than ideal temporary restoration.
What Problems Can A Dental Crown Address?
Dental crowns are often used to help patients who experience tooth decay, particularly when decay is too serious for a dental filling to offer effective protection. It can also be appropriate to take care of a tooth with a dental crown when an injury has occurred. Your dentist can provide a review of your tooth to determine what the right approach to care might be. In some situations where dental injuries are involved, it may be possible to simply cover damage through cosmetic dentistry.
Can I Count On My Crown To Support Bite Pressure?
A same-day crown provides a convenient solution to your tooth troubles, but it is important to note that the restoration is supposed to be a permanent one. With that in mind, you can be understandably interested in its ability to stay in good condition over time. In addition to being a good match for your enamel in terms of appearance, the porcelain used to make your restoration is remarkably strong, so it can provide practical support.
