The Advantages Of CEREC Same Day Crowns

If your teeth are damaged or become infected, you may need to get dental crowns. Crowns can restore your smile. That said, designing, obtaining, and installing dental implants can be rather intensive and time-consuming. Fortunately, you can now turn to Dr. Tom Morgan at Babcock & Morgan Family Dental, who provides same-day CEREC crowns in Prior Lake, MN, Savage, MN, Shakopee, MN, New Prague, MN (Actual location in Prior Lake).

Same-Day CEREC Crowns Are Easy to Make and Offer a Great Fit

Traditionally, if you wanted to get dental crowns, your dentist would create a mold by using a pink putty and having you bite into it. Quite frankly, the process can be rather unpleasant and may trigger a gag reflex. With same-day CEREC Crowns, a dentist can use cameras and advanced equipment to quickly shape and mold a dental crown.

In the past, you’d have to wait for up to two to three weeks for a lab to make your dental crowns. With same-day crowns, however, your replacement teeth can often be made and shaped in less than two hours.

With traditional crowns, patients would often have to come in for two or more appointments. First, the dentist would examine your mouth and make the mold. The patient would go home and wait a few weeks. Often, a temporary crown is put in place.

Once the permanent crown was made, the patient would return and have the permanent crowns attached to their teeth. The entire process traditionally took much longer than necessary. 

With same-day crowns, your dentist will use a CEREC machine to quickly craft a dental crown. By using pictures and measurements, a dentist can quickly create a new tooth that may look just as good as your natural teeth, if not better. Teeth are fashioned from small blocks of ceramic and milled to perfection.

Same-Day CEREC Crowns Benefits

Besides a simpler, faster installation process, same-day CEREC crowns offer some other benefits as well. The ceramic used is typically of the highest quality. With proper care, your same-day CEREC crowns will last for up to 15 years. This means they can last as long, if not longer, than most traditional dental crowns.

Besides resisting general wear and tear, same-day crowns are also very durable and easy to maintain. Regular brushing will help keep them in good shape. Even if you suffer an accident or bite down on something hard by mistake, your crown can often absorb the damage and not break.
