The Answers You Need About CEREC Crowns
Diane Mason
Do you have several molars in your mouth that have severe decay and need to be repaired by a dentist? If you need crowns placed on your damaged molars but do not have time to go to multiple appointments, Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC) crowns might be the solution to your problem. Unlike the traditional crowns that are commonly placed on damaged teeth, CEREC crowns can be placed during one office visit. Due to the speedy process of CEREC crowns being created and placed on teeth, there is no need to wear a temporary crown, as with traditional crowns. If you are unsure about getting CEREC crowns, this article might help you make a decision.
What Are the Benefits of CEREC Crowns?
Other than CEREC crowns being placed on teeth on the same day, there are several other benefits that you should know about. One of the benefits is that there is not a need to take an impression of your teeth using dental putty. Rather than trying to make a perfect impression with putty, a dentist will obtain an impression by taking a digital scan of your teeth. Another benefit is that a digital impression will be more accurate than an impression taken with putty, with means the crowns fit perfectly. CEREC crowns are also as easy to take care of as traditional crowns, which means that you will not have to perform any special care routine.
Why Is CEREC Crown Placement a Fast Process?
CEREC crown placement is fast because there is not a need to send an impression of your teeth to a lab for the crowns to be created. For example, it can take several weeks for traditional crowns to be sent back to a dental clinic after they have been created at a different location. In contrast, CEREC crowns are created directly at the dental clinic, while a patient is at his or her appointment for placement of the crowns. It takes a couple of hours to create a CEREC crown and place it on a patient's tooth.
What Is the Quality of CEREC Crowns?
You might think CEREC crowns are of a lower quality than traditional crowns because of the speed of the placement process. However, CEREC crowns are just as high quality as traditional crowns because they are made of porcelain. The crowns will be designed to blend perfectly with your natural teeth.

Hey everyone. My name is Jaheem Gherdley. I made this site to talk about root canal procedures. Root canals are usually performed to save broken or rotten teeth. My situation did not deviate from this norm. I was eating my favorite crunchy snacks when my tooth broke straight down the middle. I ignored this development until an infection set in deep in the root of my tooth. My dentist urged me to come right in for an emergency root canal to save the tooth and stop the spread of infection. The procedure stopped the pain and kept my tooth in place. From that point on, I decided to learn all I can about root canals. I will share the information I've gathered with you to help you understand the importance of this procedure. Thanks for stopping by.
