If you have a cavity, restorative dental work will have to take place to put a stop to worsening damage to your tooth structure. The right approach to care can offer several benefits. In addition to providing protection for your remaining healthy tooth structure, the restoration put in place at the end of your treatment can offer cosmetic benefits by matching the look and texture of your enamel, too. At our Bellaire, TX dentist’s office, we can make your care surprisingly convenient in addition to offering lasting, appearance-friendly results. The CEREC technology we rely on in the office to produce dental crowns can have your restoration ready in as little as one appointment, which means we can avoid a frustrating wait that other practices require to complete your care!
How Long Will It Take To Fully Restore Your Tooth?
The way we approach cavity treatment will change based on what state your tooth is in. When caught in time, decay can be addressed with a dental filling that only covers the affected area, meaning your surrounding tooth structure is left unchanged. Unfortunately, fillings are not strong enough to take care of teeth when more advanced decay is a concern. When too much damage affects the structure, we need to place a dental crown to provide the kind of lasting protection that you require. While other practices require two appointments to complete the process of planning and completing treatment with a crown, we can use CEREC technology to have this work done in just a single appointment.
Placing A Custom CEREC Dental Crown
CEREC technology provides us with everything that is needed to digitally capture the necessary measurements for your tooth, create a model for your custom crown, and produce it with an in-office milling machine. After we go through the steps of producing your custom restoration, we can secure it over your tooth to provide permanent protection. Our crowns are made from a ceramic material that can match your tooth structure, which means you will not have to worry about your appearance changing after you go through restorative dental work.
Our General Services Help You Avoid Problems With Your Oral Health
To properly address a cavity, we can provide a filling or crown to keep your tooth safe once the site of dental decay is addressed. To help you avoid problems with cavities, we provide regular dental exams and cleanings to keep you informed about your oral health. At these appointments, you receive timely warnings about any problems that might negatively affect your appearance and well-being, and you enjoy preventive services to make them less likely to occur.
