\"DentalIf you\u2019ve ever needed a crown in the past, the process was a bit of a hassle. You had to wear a temporary restoration for a couple of weeks until your permanent restoration was sent back to your dentist. You don\u2019t have to juggle multiple appointments or deal with a temporary crown when choosing CEREC<\/a>. You can get the high-quality restoration you need in one day, and won\u2019t have to compromise on quality or aesthetics. Here\u2019s how long you can expect it to take.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Traditional Crowns VS CEREC Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental crowns are versatile because they offer preventive, aesthetic, and restorative benefits. A crown is a custom-made cap that\u2019s bonded over the entire surface of a tooth above the gum line. It can protect a tooth from potential issues, repair one that\u2019s been damaged, or improve its appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditional method of creating a crown takes at least 2 appointments. After your tooth is prepared, your dentist will need an impression of it, which can mean holding a foul-tasting material in your mouth for a few minutes. A temporary crown is applied to the tooth while the impression is sent off to the dental lab. Once your restoration is sent back to your dentist, you\u2019ll return to have it bonded in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEREC simplifies the entire process. Once your tooth is prepared, your dentist will take a quick digital impression, which provides the utmost accuracy when creating your crown. The scan is used along with CAD\/CAM technology to set the specifics for your restoration. The information is sent to an in-office milling machine, where your crown will be cut from a single block of all-ceramic material. In about one hour, your crown will be ready to be bonded to your tooth, and you can get back to enjoying your day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
