CEREC Crowns Services
When damaged, worn, or missing teeth become a hindrance, restoring them is our mission at Bridges & Crowns Dental Services. That’s why we specialize in CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crowns. These advanced dental crowns are designed using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, resulting in custom-made ceramic crowns that not only exhibit strength and durability but also seamlessly blend with the natural appearance of your teeth.
The Benefits of CEREC Crowns for Dental Patients
Experience the numerous benefits that CEREC crowns offer, surpassing traditional crowns in several aspects. Here are the advantages you can expect:
Convenience
CEREC crowns provide exceptional convenience, setting them apart from traditional crowns. Unlike the lengthy process involved in multiple appointments for traditional crowns, CEREC crowns can often be completed in just a single dental visit. This eliminates the need for multiple appointments, allowing you to receive the necessary dental restoration without disruption to your work or busy schedule.
Comfort
Enjoy the perfect fit and enhanced comfort that CEREC crowns provide. Custom-made to precisely fit your tooth, these crowns eliminate the need for subsequent adjustments, offering a seamless and comfortable restoration. Experience the sensation of a natural part of your mouth, without any discomfort or irritation.
Aesthetics
Achieve a smile that looks and feels natural with CEREC crowns. Crafted from ceramic material that closely matches the color and texture of your natural teeth, these crowns blend harmoniously with your existing dentition. The result is a restoration that seamlessly integrates into your smile, boosting your confidence and leaving you with a radiant and natural-looking appearance.
Durability
CEREC crowns are constructed from strong and durable ceramic material, ensuring long-lasting performance. With proper care and maintenance, these crowns can withstand the daily wear and tear of regular use, providing you with a durable and reliable dental restoration that stands the test of time.
The Process of Getting CEREC Crowns
Let’s take a closer look at the streamlined process involved in obtaining CEREC crowns:
Preparation
Your tooth is prepared by removing any decay or damage, ensuring a solid foundation for the crown placement. The tooth is then shaped to create space for the crown, allowing for a precise and secure fit.
Digital impressions
Cutting-edge digital technology captures detailed impressions of the prepared tooth using a specialized camera. These digital impressions are used to create a highly accurate 3D model of your tooth.
Crown design
Using advanced CAD software, our skilled dentist designs a crown that precisely matches the 3D model of your tooth. This ensures a custom-fit crown that aligns seamlessly with your smile.
Crown fabrication
The crown design is sent to a milling machine, which carves the crown from a solid block of ceramic material. This process takes approximately 15-20 minutes, allowing you to wait comfortably in our dental office.
Crown placement
Once the crown is ready, it is carefully placed on your prepared tooth. Our dentist ensures a precise fit and checks for comfort and aesthetics. The crown is then permanently bonded in place, providing you with a complete and beautiful dental restoration.
