What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-crafted “cap” that is made to precisely fit over the chewing surface of a damaged or weakened tooth above the gumline. The restoration can be made from a variety of different materials. Dental crowns are generally recommended for patients with the following situations:
- Broken tooth that requires additional support
- Tooth that’s undergone root canal therapy
- Severe decay that’s being repaired with a large filling
- Dental bridge needing support from adjacent teeth
- Severely misshapen or discolored tooth
- Missing tooth being replaced with a dental implant
The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
The CEREC process is essentially the same as traditional crown restoration, except it’s completed in a single appointment. Using advanced computer-assisted design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology, CEREC puts the ability to design, mill, and place high-quality all-ceramic restorations entirely in Dr. Prather’s hands. Once we prepared your tooth, the CEREC system allows us to capture bite impressions digitally, so they’re immediately available to the CAD/CAM system where the impressions are used to design a precise dental crown that is then crafted in our in-office milling unit. When the restoration is completed, we immediately place your dental crown, so you’ll walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a flawless smile.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
CEREC has numerous advantages when compared with traditional dental crowns including:
- Saves Time – You may be in our dental office for a little longer, but you’ll only have to take time out of your regular schedule for one visit, which will save treatment time overall.
- Conservative – Because we place the final restoration in one day without placing and removing a temporary, the treatment is more conservative and less likely to lead to additional dental damage.
- No Temporary Crowns – These restorations are made from less durable materials and can be easily damaged.
- High-Quality Materials – The CEREC system uses the same high-quality ceramic our dental lab crafts durable, cosmetic metal-free restorations from.
