What are the top five benefits of same-day porcelain crowns and dentistry?
Porcelain dental crowns are a standard restoration used in dentistry to cover teeth that have experienced significant damage, decay, or trauma. They are caps that fit over a natural tooth, offering strength and repair to avoid further damage or even extraction of an affected tooth. However, at most dental practices, the process of obtaining a dental crown is extensive and requires more than one appointment and several weeks while waiting for the final restoration to be returned from the dental laboratory. Fortunately, Drs. Don R. Cook and David G. Bingham offer CEREC technology, boasting same-day dentistry and restorations for patients.
What is CEREC?
CEREC is a unique CAD/CAM software and device that uses digital scans of the patient’s existing, prepared tooth and creates restorations that fit precisely over the top. These restorations are milled right in the office from a block of porcelain that perfectly matches the patient’s natural teeth in all aspects, including color, shape, and size. The entire process takes less than 30 minutes and allows patients to leave the office with their new restoration–all during a single appointment!
What are the top five benefits of same-day porcelain crowns?
- Time-saving. With traditional crown procedures, patients have to wait for weeks while their restoration is being created in a dental laboratory. However, with same-day porcelain crowns using CEREC technology, the entire process is completed in a single dental appointment, saving significant time and inconvenience.
- Convenience. Same-day porcelain crowns eliminate the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns, making the process more convenient for busy individuals.
- More comfortable. CEREC technology allows for a precise and custom fit of the crown, providing a more comfortable experience for patients.
- Natural-looking results. The digital scans used by CEREC ensure that the final restoration matches the patient’s natural teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking result.
- Durable and long-lasting. Same-day porcelain crowns created with CEREC technology are made from more high-quality materials, ensuring durability and longevity of the restoration.
