Why Would I Need A Dental Crown?
Dr. Doug Clark Jr. and Dr. Douglass Clark III explain that crowns are tooth-shaped “caps.” These are placed existing dentitions once your original teeth have been prepared. They are often used to address:
- Broken teeth
- Severely decayed teeth
- Teeth that are weak from congenital conditions or illness
- Misshapen teeth
- Teeth with appearance issues
What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?
CEREC is an advanced technology that allows your dentist to create a long-lasting porcelain dental crown in their own office, rather than waiting for a lab to manufacture this.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (also known as CE-ramic REC-onstruction). When you see our father-and-son dental team, you’ll go through the following process for your same-day crown:
- A digital camera will take a detailed picture of your mouth and the tooth that needs repaired.
- An advanced computer software will then convert that picture into the dental crown that’s right for you.
- The Drs. Clark will prepare your tooth to make it ready for the placement of the CEREC crown.
- An in-office milling unit will create your perfectly designed crown from a single block of porcelain – right there in our office, at the same appointment.
Why Is CEREC Superior To Traditional Crowns?
There’s one major reason why CEREC is better than a traditional crown – your valuable time. You won’t need to have a messy dental impression taken, to wait weeks for the lab to create your crown while you deal with a temporary fix, or to come back for a second appointment. While traditional crowns work just fine, CEREC offers a convenient, long-lasting solution without the wait.
Does CEREC Work?
Yes! Although it might seem too good to be true, CEREC same-day crowns are highly effective. We know from experience that patients love CEREC. But don’t take it from us – see for yourself: watch this quick video to find out how the same-day solution performs.
