Dental crowns serve many purposes, but one of the most important is repairing damaged teeth. A tooth with structural damage is always at risk of further breakage or crumbling. If the damage becomes irreparable, your tooth may have to be removed. Crowns are tooth-shaped caps dentists place over cracked or broken teeth to protect them from further damage. Crowning your tooth restores its shape and structure so it can be used. At the office of Neal Edwards DDS, we offer same-day crowns using CEREC technology. Traditional crowns can take weeks to complete. CEREC crowns can restore your smile in one dental visit.Â
CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. In layman’s terms, that translates to same-day tooth crown treatment! CEREC crowns offer the same reliability, durability, and beauty as traditional crowns but without the need for a long waiting period. We’ll design, mill, and place your crown on the same day as your initial visit. Using CEREC computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, Dr. Edwards can create a restoration that fits comfortably, functions properly, and exudes an attractive natural appearance.
Speed is of the essence when it comes to repairing a damaged tooth, as there’s always the risk of your tooth crumbling! You also don’t want to walk around with a fractured or broken tooth for long! A CEREC tooth crown will restore your grin instantly without compromising quality or beauty.
CEREC crowns offer:
CEREC crowns are made of high-grade, tooth-colored ceramic material that blends seamlessly with your smile. The resemblance is so close that people can’t distinguish the crown from a natural tooth.
CEREC crowns are tough and enduring. They resist scratching, chipping, or cracking and will provide you with ten years or more of quality use.
With CEREC technology, your crown is ready in one day as opposed to weeks. There’s no waiting period, so there’s no need to wear a temporary crown while your permanent crown is being fabricated. You can wait comfortably in our office while your crown is being milled. CEREC crowns can save you time and money on future dental visits.
CEREC digital imaging and CAD/CAM technology produce crowns with greater accuracy and precision, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit. When placing your crown, Dr. Edwards will ensure your bite aligns perfectly for biting and chewing to give you optimal function.
CEREC crowns are built to last. With proper maintenance and care, they can endure 10+ years. A crown can make your smile whole again so you can eat comfortably and smile with confidence. To extend the lifespan of your crown, it’s best to avoid hard and sticky foods.Â
