Technological advancements in dentistry are bringing CEREC® crowns into the lives of many dental patients. These crowns are ideal for immediate dental repairs and restorations. They remove the hassles you get in getting traditional dental crowns. If you want to find out the advantages of getting custom-fit CEREC dental crowns, here are the details.
CEREC milling machines create dental crowns from a solid ceramic block. The resulting crowns look and feel like natural teeth. Ceramic is as translucent as natural teeth. Most dentists recommend ceramic dental crowns for the effect they provide. Dentists can adjust the colors of these crowns to match the tone of each patient’s natural teeth.
Dental labs need two weeks to create traditional dental crowns. This makes the patient wear temporary dental crowns while waiting. CEREC dental crowns remove the need for temporary crowns. Patients wait in the dental clinic while the CEREC machine mills the custom-fit dental crowns. These crowns fit the patient’s dental needs. Wearing them will not result in worry or embarrassment.
Traditional dental crowns take at least two visits before the treatment completes. The first visit involves dental checks, cleaning, and getting dental impressions. The second visit is when the patient fits and gets the permanent dental crowns. In the CEREC system, patients leave the clinic with permanent ceramic crowns on the same day. It often takes one to two hours to get the crowns.
CEREC dental crowns save patients time. One dental visit means only one trip to the dentist. There is no need to miss work or classes. People can do more if they can get dental restorations like CEREC right away.
CEREC’s digital technology can create custom-fit dental crowns. That is why patients do not complain about these crowns popping out or falling off. There will be no trouble smiling, eating, and speaking. This adds to the patient’s self-image.
Ceramic is durable. It is more resistant to cracks and wears. These crowns can last for at least 10-15 years with proper care and maintenance. Routine dental visits can help keep CEREC dental crowns optimal.
Dental impressions help create accurate dental crowns. Traditional dental crowns need patients to bite into a putty-like substance. It hardens once inside the mouth. The taste is not pleasant. Pieces of it tend to get stuck in the mouth.
With CEREC, there is no need for putty anymore. The dentist inserts a small intraoral camera into the patient’s mouth. The camera captures several images of the patient’s teeth and gums. The software converts these images into a 3D impression. The machine uses this impression to create more accurate dental crowns.
