Did you know that we can create and place a dental crown in only one visit? With CEREC, your same-day crowns will also look natural! In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about providing same-day improvement with our lifelike and durable ceramic dental crowns!
The Benefits of a Ceramic Crown
We use ceramic to create our dental crowns. This material is metal-free and holistic, safe for all ages. The material bonds with your remaining tooth structure for greater durability, and of course we can shade it for a more natural appearance, so it blends with your smile seamlessly. The material can also handle daily bite forces with ease! With the CEREC system, we can create and attach your new dental restoration in only one visit.
The CEREC System
No need for two to three visits to restore your tooth. When you arrive, we will numb the tooth t o ensure you are comfortable as we remove structure to make room for them. We then take images and measurements of your prepared tooth with digital technology, and use the images and measurements to create a 3D model of the tooth. The 3D model is far more accurate and convenient than traditional physical molds, and allows us to design a custom restoration with precision.
We then upload the information into an onsite milling machine, which will create your new crown from a solid block of ceramic. We will then check the fit and make any final adjustments before we attach the restoration with a powerful bonding agent. In one visit, you have your tooth fully restored.
Maintaining Your Same-Day Improvements
To ensure your new restoration stays bright and in place for years to come, you need to brush and floss it as you would the rest of your natural tooth structures. We also suggest cutting back on sugar and starch, and seeing our team for a routine checkup and cleaning visit every six months. If you have an issue that could require restoration, such as a damaged or aching tooth, or if you want to schedule your last checkup and cleaning of 2025, then reach out today. We can help you start the holidays with a bright and healthy smile, and you can use your remaining 2025 dental insurance benefits and health savings account funds before they expire at the end of the month!
