How CEREC Same Day Crowns Can Make Your Life Easier
Tuesday February 27, 2024
Dental crowns are an excellent solution for many oral health concerns. As a restorative option, a dental crown can protect teeth severely damaged by tooth decay or that have just undergone a root canal treatment. They are great for concealing cosmetic issues like tooth discoloration or a misshapen tooth. However, with traditional crowns, you would have to schedule multiple appointments, deal with temporary crowns, and wait weeks for your permanent crown to come in. With CEREC same-day crowns offered by Dr. Spencer Hoyt and the Fort Worth Dental Arts team in Fort Worth, Texas, these inconveniences are no longer necessary!
Your CEREC Crown Will Be Ready In A Single Appointment
One of the biggest advantages of CEREC crowns is that they can be crafted within a single appointment at your dentist’s office. There is no need to walk away wearing an uncomfortable temporary crown while your permanent crown is created at some remote lab that can take weeks to complete. CEREC has taken out the hassle of returning for an additional appointment! With CEREC, your crown will be crafted while you sit in the dental chair. This is done using cutting-edge CAD/CAM technology that allows your digital impression to be sent to an on-site milling machine, where your crown will be made from a block of porcelain. The time you save with CEREC crowns is just one reason so many Fort Worth, Texas, residents seek out dentists offering this restoration option.
CEREC Crowns Are Permanent
While it was the only solution for years, wearing a temporary crown while you wait for your permanent crown to be made is no longer an issue with CEREC. With temporary crowns, you may find that they can be uncomfortable or even pop off. This is because they are not made to fit your tooth but are a stopgap between preparing your tooth and receiving your permanent crown. CEREC has eliminated the need for a temporary crown, and within a single appointment, you will walk away with your permanent restoration in place.
