A dental crown is designed to cover and protect your natural tooth, making it an invaluable treatment option when you have severe decay, a cracked or broken tooth or after root canal therapy.
We use CEREC® technology to customise dental crowns while you wait comfortably in your treatment room, so in just a single visit, you can restore your tooth’s functionality and appearance.
But are CEREC crowns better than traditional crowns? Let’s take a look.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a cap that completely covers your natural tooth, protecting it from further damage or decay and allowing you to bite down and chew without worry.
This treatment is designed to restore your tooth’s strength, size and appearance and help you avoid extraction.
The Advantages of CEREC Same-Day Crowns
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics; this technology uses 3-D digital imaging and an in-office milling machine to quickly create a custom crown.
Here are some of the primary benefits of this treatment option:
- No temporary crown — You won’t have to worry about wearing a temporary crown while you wait for your permanent crown to come back from the dental lab.
- Same-day convenience — Because we can design and place your crown in one visit to our clinic, there’s no need for numerous appointments. You’ll be back to your busy day sooner!
- No messy impressions — CEREC technology uses 3-D digital images instead of unpleasant, goopy impression materials, making the process faster and more comfortable.
- Aesthetics — Your CEREC crown is made from the finest ceramic, so it mimics your tooth enamel, and we’ll match it to your tooth colour, giving you the natural look you deserve. You can smile for the camera and enjoy going out with friends again.
- Durability — CEREC crowns are extremely durable, and the advanced technology ensures a precise fit. No one will even know you have a crown!
