Contact UsWhat Is CEREC Dentistry?
CEREC is an advanced system for designing and producing natural-looking restorations. We take digital impressions and send them directly to our CEREC machine. From those impressions, we design a precise model of your dental crown. Once we’ve finalized the design, we send the information to our on-site milling machine, which carves your restoration out of a block of tooth-colored ceramic. Then, we finish the procedure by placing and fitting your crown, making any necessary adjustments on the spot.
Benefits of CEREC Crowns
There are many benefits of getting a CEREC crown, most of which revolve around comfort and convenience. Digital impressions replace the traditional impression-taking process using that goopy material. Since the procedure is all completed in-house without needing to wait for an outside dental lab, it only takes hour or two rather than a couple of weeks to get your restoration. This shortened timeline also means you won’t have to wear a temporary crown—you’ll walk out with your permanent dental crown that same day.
Reasons to Get a Tooth Crown
The advantages of CEREC dentistry may sound all well and good, but you might be wondering when you would need a tooth crown in the first place. Here are some of the most common conditions that could call for a dental crown:
- Tooth weakened by decay
- Cracked tooth
- Broken tooth
- Severely worn down tooth
- Tooth with a large filling
- Post-root canal treatment
- Dental bridge
- Dental implant
If any of those apply to you or you’d like to learn more about CEREC dentistry, contact Grafton Dental Care today!
