Common Concerns of CEREC® Single Visit Crowns Treatment
Cracked Teeth
CEREC® crowns provide an immediate solution for cracked teeth, stabilizing the dental structure and preventing further damage.
Decayed Teeth
For teeth that have suffered significant decay and cannot be treated with a filling alone, CEREC® crowns offer a quick restoration option, preserving the integrity of the tooth.
Worn Teeth
Teeth that are excessively worn down, either from grinding or other causes, can be restored to their natural size and shape with CEREC® crowns.
Replacement of Old Restorations
For patients needing replacement of old or failing crowns, CEREC® offers a quick and efficient replacement option, often completed in just one visit.
Differences Between CEREC and Traditional Dental Crowns
Impressions
While traditional crowns require a physical mold of your tooth, which can be uncomfortable and involve dental putty, CEREC crowns streamline this step using digital technology. Instead of a manual impression, CEREC employs precise digital scans of your teeth, eliminating the need for the messy and sometimes unpleasant traditional method.
Time
Traditional crown procedures often require sending impressions to a dental lab, where the crown is crafted over several weeks. Patients must wear a temporary crown during this period and schedule another visit to fit the permanent one. In contrast, CEREC crowns are produced on-site during a single visit using a 3D printer that directly crafts the crown from digital scans, allowing patients to leave with their new crown in place without needing a follow-up appointment.
Material
Traditional crowns are available in various materials, with porcelain being a popular choice due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. However, creating porcelain crowns can be a time-consuming process. On the other hand, CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic that is both hypoallergenic and aesthetically comparable to porcelain. This ceramic can be crafted quickly without compromising on quality, ensuring that CEREC crowns match the natural color, texture, and luster of your existing teeth.
