If you visited a dentist to get dental crowns, you would know about it.
Nowadays, you can get your teeth crowned much faster. Thanks to CEREC technology, getting dental crowns in a day is also possible. Keep reading to know more about this dental restoration that utilizes the latest dental technologies.
What is CEREC Crown?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It shows the CEREC crowns are made up of ceramics and involve computer-assisted technologies in each stage of the treatment. As the treatment involves computer-aided design and manufacturing technology, the crown is highly accurate, provides you a lifelike smile and importantly, eliminates the limitations of traditional crowns to a great extent.
Here are some of the advantages of CEREC crowns:
- Highly convenient
- Possess high durability
- Provides great bite accuracy
- Temporary crowns are not needed
How do dentists make CEREC Crowns?
The process of fabricating CEREC crowns involves:
1) Teeth examination – Similar to dental crowns, the severity of damage and the remaining healthy structure of a broken or infected tooth are considered. It helps dental doctors to conclude whether the tooth is the right fit for fixing CEREC crowns.
2) Tooth Preparation – Now the process of removing the affected tissues inside the tooth is performed. Then the gum tissues around the problematic tooth are anesthetized so that you cannot sense any pain until the cap is fixed.
3) Digital Impression – An intraoral camera is equipped to create digital images of the tooth surface with which the 3D scanner would make the tooth’s 3D model. Thus you are free from taking gooey impressions.
4) Milling – This step involves a CEREC machine fabricating a customized crown using high-grade ceramic material. The crown is then shaped, sized, and colored concerning the 3D impression. It is completed in 15 minutes.
5) Fixing the crown – Once the crown is shaped, resized and polished, your dentist will attach it to the problematic tooth.
Are CEREC Crowns durable?
Many people have questioned us if the CEREC crowns can last for a long time. Unlike dental crowns, the CEREC crowns are fabricated expeditiously. Hence some people doubt the restorative appliance’s quality.
This crown is fabricated in a fast-paced manner thanks to computer-aided manufacturing technology. Likewise, the ceramic material we utilize is high-quality & plaque-resistant hence you should not worry about its longevity.
In essence, CEREC crowns give you a durable, affordable & quick dental restoration solution.
Bottom line
Once you get the CEREC crowns, you should clean and maintain them as well as your natural teeth. Even though crowns fabricated by CEREC machines are impeccable and possess matchless quality, they cannot fix certain dental damages. Your dentist will decide whether a problem can be addressed with this crown or not.
