Here at Helotes Family Dentistry, we’re proud to offer CEREC® crowns. This state-of-the-art technology makes getting a crown quicker, easier, and just plain better! Read on to learn how CEREC crowns will make your experience so much better than traditional crowns.
CEREC Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns
A crown is a cap for your tooth that addresses a variety of different dental issues. CEREC and traditional crowns don’t differ greatly in form and function, but CEREC does make the journey from start to finish a lot quicker and more efficient. That’s because CEREC crowns are made in just one day using the cutting edge technology we have here in our office. Gone are the days of multiple visits, temporary crowns, and waiting weeks for the lab to create your crown!
The CEREC Process
Getting a CEREC crown starts with digital impressions–eliminating the need for goopy molds or ill-fitting trays. The impressions inform the virtual model of your custom crown, which, once reviewed and perfected, informs the milling machine. The machine produces a natural-looking ceramic crown that’s ready to be placed and bonded to the tooth in no-time, leaving you with a gorgeous restoration after just one visit!
Uses of a Dental Crown
Crowns are incredibly versatile tools in restorative procedures. They can be employed to address any of the following dental scenarios and more:
- A broken or worn-down tooth
- A weak tooth
- A tooth that needs support after a root canal
- A dental bridge that requires support
- A discolored or misshapen tooth
