So you just found out that you need to undergo restorative dental work. The good news is that by treating a problem with your smile, your dentist can prevent further problems and address any active discomfort you have experienced. However, you may be less than happy to hear that you need to spend more time in the dentist’s chair having work done! At our Bellaire, TX dental office, we are committed to providing positive experiences for our patients. One way we do this is by reducing the time it takes to have a custom dental crown crafted and placed. While other dental practices have to wait for a third party lab to create a restoration for a patient, we use CEREC technology to design crowns in-house!
CEREC Technology Can Produce Dental Crowns In-House
CEREC technology gives us the ability to shorten restorative dental work that calls for the placement of a dental crown. We have the tools that are needed to measure a tooth, design the restoration, and even construct it! Each step in this process is intended to give you a custom restoration that fits comfortably. You can be happy to know that our milling machine produces crowns that are made from appearance-friendly ceramic, so your dental work will not lead to negative changes to your smile.
Dental Crowns Can Take On Problems With Decay And Physical Damage
Dental crowns can provide important care for vulnerable teeth, and provide long-term protection. The crown is designed to be strong enough to safely absorb pressure from biting and chewing. It is also made to fit comfortably enough to not bother your neighboring teeth. These restorations can help patients recover from cavities that are too large to make treatment with dental fillings effective. They are also used to restore teeth that have been damaged from physical trauma.
Can I Trust A Same-Day Crown To Provide Long-Term Support?
In addition to being convenient, dental crowns produced with CEREC technology can provide long-term support. The restoration that you receive is meant to be permanent. It will need to remain in place to avoid future infections, and to protect you against physical harm to the tooth. It should be noted that you should talk to your dentist about an older filling or crown that no longer feels supportive. Like with natural teeth, restorations that do not receive proper care can be vulnerable to issues.
