A decayed or damaged tooth can make it difficult to go about your everyday life. First, your smile may be affected, which will impact your confidence and how you interact with other people you meet. Second, your functionality may not be optimal. For example, eating may be painful if your tooth hurts when you bite down on it. But what if you want your tooth fixed quickly, without having to wait for a permanent dental crown to come in? All you need to do is call Dr. Stephen Huber at Stephen Huber, DDS. His office offers same-day CEREC crowns.
In the past, getting a dental crown on a tooth required going to your dentist’s office more than once. And once you’re fitted for a crown, permanent crowns could take weeks to arrive back at your dentist’s office. Dr. Huber can fit you with a crown in just one day. CEREC is an acronym for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.” These crowns are designed, milled, and placed in just one visit.
To fit you for traditional crowns, dental technicians used a messy tray and putty material that often triggered gag reflexes in patients. With CEREC optical impressions, that worry is gone. The system uses a digital scanner to capture precise 3D images of your teeth.
CEREC crowns are made using high-quality ceramic, so they’re exceptionally strong and last a long time. While traditional crowns sometimes have metal components or are made with multiple layers, CEREC same-day crowns are made completely with ceramic. You can count on CEREC crowns to resist the daily wear and tear your teeth go through from chewing and biting.
The ceramic used to make CEREC crowns closely mimics the texture and translucency of your natural teeth. This means they seamlessly blend with your smile without looking artificial.
At Dr. Huber’s dental practice, CEREC technology gives you precise design and fabrication in just one visit to the dentist. Every step of the dental crown process is done in-house, from digital imaging to the milling process. This ensures you get high-quality results without having to rely on an outside lab.
Dental crowns play an important role in your oral health because they can help you save your tooth and protect it from becoming more damaged. If you have a tooth that has become weakened, CEREC crowns can prevent tooth loss. Crowns can be used for:
