If you have a tooth that needs to be repaired, then we could help by attaching a dental restoration. But did you know we can do so in only one visit? In today’s blog, your team at Lake Orion Family Dentistry talks about our same-day dental crown placement with the CEREC system.
When Teeth Need Metal-Free Restoration
A crown can cap a tooth and cover all of the structure above the gum line. When in place, this can repair the tooth should it become cracked, chipped, or broken. Placement could also address cavities too severe for a filling, and even aid in addressing an infection. We could help boost bite balance and chewing function too. The restoration can help smiles of all ages, and our metal-free approach means you and your family enjoy a safe and effective repair that looks natural too!
Same-Day Crowns
We don’t need two to three visits to create and place a restoration. Our team can restore your tooth in only one visit with same-day dental crowns. The process starts with our team numbing your tooth to ensure you stay comfortable as we gently remove structure to accommodate your new restoration. We then take detailed images of the prepped tooth with an intraoral camera.
These images are used to make a digital impression of your tooth, one far more accurate than a physical mold. We use this to design your restoration and then we upload the information into an onsite CEREC milling machine, which crafts it from metal-free and durable ceramic. We will color-match this to ensure the final result blends with your smile. The last step is to attach the finished product to your tooth! The entire process, start-to-finish, only takes one visit.
Keeping Smiles Bright
With proper oral hygiene habits, you can help your new restoration last and stay bright. More importantly, you can protect your remaining natural teeth from issues like injury, tooth decay, and infection. We recommend taking time each day to brush and floss, and avoiding too much sugar in your diet. Don’t use tobacco products at all if possible, and be sure you see our team for a routine checkup and cleaning, so we monitor your smile and protective from tooth decay and periodontal disease.
