The Ways CEREC Same Day Crowns Can Make Your Life Easier

Dental crowns are a very common solution to a wide range of oral health problems. Dental crowns can cover, protect, and reinforce teeth for a complete and healthy smile. If you have ever received a dental crown that wasn’t crafted using CEREC technology, you will know it can be inconvenient. It will require multiple appointments with a long waiting period in between. This is why patients in the Riverview, Florida area visit Dr. Janis Milne and the team at Inspiration Dental, where they offer CEREC one-visit dental crowns.

Here are three ways that CEREC technology will make getting dental crowns easier than ever before.

CEREC Crowns Are Ready Within a Single Appointment

One of the most inconvenient parts of getting a dental crown is having to wear a temporary crown in between your appointments. You will find yourself waiting around two to four weeks for your permanent crown to arrive. In the meantime, you will be wearing a temporary crown that can be uncomfortable and could fall off. Then you have to find time in your busy schedule to return for a second appointment to have the temporary removed and the permanent crown placed.

With CEREC crowns, all of this hassle is unnecessary. While sitting in your dentist’s chair, CEREC technology uses three-dimensional images that your dentist will take of your mouth to craft your dental crown using an on-site milling machine. Once complete, your dentist will cement the crown in place, and you will return to your daily routine in no time.

No Temporaries with CEREC Crowns

While a temporary crown is your only option as you wait during the lag time between your initial appointment and when your crown will be ready, in most cases, they are not very comfortable. This is because temporary crowns are not crafted to be like your permanent crown and will often have an uncomfortable fit. This can make the weeks in between appointments seem like an eternity. With CEREC, because there is no waiting period, the crown you receive during your first appointment will be your permanent crown.

CEREC Crowns Are Comfortable

If you have a dental crown placed that does not fit correctly, it could be quite uncomfortable, especially when you are chewing or biting. Your gums could also become irritated. Nobody wants to walk around in pain simply because a dental crown was not crafted to fit exactly as it should.

This usually occurs with the dental impressions taken to send into the lab, which will craft your crown. The molding material is thick and goopy and can put your gag reflex to the test as it spreads to all the nooks and crannies of your mouth.

CEREC technology has completely changed the name of the game for taking impressions and designing your new dental crown. The cutting-edge technology allows your new crown to be crafted with unmatched accuracy. When your dental crown is placed, it will fit perfectly.
