CEREC Same Day Crowns
Folsom, CA
 Of the many dental treatments and procedures available to address various concerns, dental crowns are one of the most used and beneficial. This is why they are among the most commonly placed dental appliances we utilize for our patients. Still, it does not always mean that it is a one-size-fits-all process or that it is right for everyone's individual situation. This is where having a reliable dental care provider, such as Highridge Dental Care help you to understand the choices that you have and the benefits and disadvantages of each.
When you have a broken or chipped tooth it becomes difficult for you to flash a confident smile. If your tooth chips or your crown suddenly falls off just before an important event it could leave you dumbfounded. Stepping out without your complete set of teeth could make you feel conscious and embarrassed and you may want to stay quiet for the rest of the evening. Instead of having to go through this, you can pay us a visit at Highridge Dental Care so we can assist you with CEREC dental crowns that will help restore your smile in no time.
What Are CEREC Crowns?
CEREC crowns can serve a number of functions and help to correct multiple conditions which affect the shape, size or length, color, strength and stability, as well as the overall appearance of any natural tooth they are placed on.
Same Day Crowns with CEREC
With CEREC same day crowns, that second visit is eliminated. CEREC, or Chairside Economic Restorations of Esthetic Ceramics, utilizes ceramic to provide you with a beautiful, natural looking crown while you wait. Along with a natural appearance, ceramic offers a few additional benefits. It is a perfect option for those with metal allergies, and it is compatible with your gums, which can form around it just as they do with your natural teeth.
CEREC uses CAD/CAM (computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing) technology to take impressions and fabricate a custom crown right on the spot. Rather than a traditional impression, CEREC takes an optical impression, which it uses to design your dental crown. In doing so, the needs for a temporary crown, a lengthy wait for your permanent crown, and a second visit are eliminated entirely, which saves you valuable time in your busy schedule.
Benefits of Choosing CEREC
In addition to same day convenience, CEREC crowns offer many benefits to our patients.
Protection for Your Teeth
CEREC same day crowns do a better job of protecting teeth from future decay or infection due to not having a poorly fitting temporary crown while waiting for the permanent one to return from the lab. Also, they are precisely customized to your mouth by advanced technology and imaging systems, coupled with paste or putty molds in some cases.
Traditional crowns are molded to fit your tooth, but digital expertise is not utilized as it is in the case of CEREC crowns. And that same technology is used in the manufacturing process as well.
Same Day Treatment
A CEREC dental crown is a crown that is fitted in your mouth on the very same day you visit our office. When you suddenly lose half a tooth or your crown fails, CEREC same day crowns are your best solution. A CEREC crown is a permanent fixture and the only difference between a CEREC crown and a regular crown is the amount of time a regular crown takes to be designed as opposed to a CEREC crown which is fitted instantly.
Healthy Appearance
There is no wait time for this crown, which means you can restore usability and enhance your smile and overall appearance in no time. These crowns do not look different from the rest of your teeth and this gives you the confidence to wear them without feeling conscious about your smile.
Smooth and Easy Process
The best part about getting a CEREC crown is that you don't have to go through the mold making process which is rather messy. It also saves you the effort of wearing a temporary crown which can sometimes crumble or flake in your mouth while you are in the middle of a meal, leaving an unpleasant taste.
Long-Lasting
In case you had reservations about getting a CEREC crown because you thought that it would not last as long as your traditional crown then you couldn't be more wrong. A CEREC crown lasts just as long as a traditional crown, if not longer when looked after well. It is as strong as a traditional crown and can continue to perform all of its functions just as well. If you were used to chewing food with your traditional crown, you can do it with the CEREC crown too. It doesn't take you a long time to get used to this new crown and the fitting is quick.
Saves On Time
When you suddenly need to have a dental procedure done because of an accident or injury to your tooth, the smartest way to go is to choose a CEREC crown. It is quick and saves a lot of time since it can be done the same day, and most importantly, saves you the embarrassment and discomfort of having to be without your complete set of teeth.
Details of the Procedure
Most of the specific aspects of the process of placing one of these crowns on a tooth is pretty straightforward and has already been mentioned. The patient is able to visit with the dentist and discuss the issue, the imaging and modeling of the tooth can take place and the crown can be manufactured the very same day by the CEREC machine.
