Advanced technology like CEREC allows you to get restorations faster and with fewer dental visits. CEREC technology means I have my own on-site lab to fabricate this restoration while you wait. For you, this means no temporary crowns and return visits for final adjustments. Most of the time, I can complete the work during a single office visit.
How CEREC Crown in Monroe, WA, Works
CEREC allows me to take digital impressions (no goop) and send them to my on-site computer. This computer designs the crown, and it is printed right here in the office. Then, I make final adjustments to color and fit before cementing it over the treated tooth.
Reasons You Might Need a Dental Crown
A dental crown fits over a weak or compromised tooth. For example, if you’ve had a root canal, the infection often puts the tooth at risk for future damage. The crown creates a safe space between your bite force and the remaining tooth structure.
Additionally, you may elect to have a crown placed over a short or cosmetically flawed tooth.
Dental crowns also work in tooth replacement by covering a dental implant post or connecting bridge teeth to biological teeth.
When same-day dental crowns are suitable for your needs, they make your dentistry faster and more convenient.
Dental Crown Care
I advise you to think of your crowned tooth the same way you consider your unrestored teeth. Be sure to brush, floss, and visit my office every six months for dental checkups and teeth cleanings. By practicing excellent oral hygiene and sticking with regular dental care, you increase the lifespan of your crown.
I advise you not to bite into sticky taffy with your capped tooth and never use your teeth or crowns as tools to open bottles and the like.
