Enjoy Fast, Convenient, and Comfortable Dentistry with CEREC® One-Visit Crowns
Dental crown treatment is one of the most common and effective procedures for patients with severely damaged or decayed teeth. When a tooth is too weakened or compromised to be repaired with a simple filling, a dental crown provides a comprehensive solution that restores its function and appearance.
Unfortunately, placing a traditional crown is a drawn-out process involving multiple dental visits. However, Heritage Dental in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, offers CEREC dental crowns, allowing us to plan, design, create, and place your crown in a single appointment. This means you can damage your tooth in the morning and have a brand-new smile by evening!
Why do I need a dental crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely encases the damaged tooth, covering it from the gum line up. This full coverage provides several key benefits—strengthening the tooth, protecting it from further damage, and restoring its natural shape and size.
Because of its structural design, a dental crown has numerous dentistry uses. These uses include:
- To protect a root canal-treated tooth.
- To support a dental bridge.
- To cap off a dental implant.
- To strengthen a structurally weakened tooth.
- To aesthetically enhance a severely discolored or misshapen tooth.
Dental crowns are created from several materials, including metal and resin. We prefer ceramic materials for their exceptional combination of aesthetic appeal and durability. Ceramic crowns are designed to closely mimic the natural look of your teeth, making them ideal for restoring teeth visible when smiling. Ceramic crowns are also resistant to everyday wear and tear, lasting many years with proper care.
How do CEREC dental crowns work?
Conventional dental crowns require two to three dental appointments, which can take weeks or even months. CEREC crowns require one appointment. Your treatment starts with a consultation to determine whether your tooth is eligible for a crown. If so, the dentist will prepare your tooth by gently reshaping the enamel to create room for the crown.
After tooth preparation, we’ll digitally scan your teeth with an intraoral camera. Unlike conventional crowns, you don’t have to bite into a tray of gooey material. You’ll need to open your mouth as the dentist uses a hand-held wand-like device to take impressions of your tooth.
Then, we’ll use a computer-assisted design (CAD) machine to design your crown to the exact specifications of your tooth. Once we approve the crown design, we’ll use an in-house milling machine to fabricate your crown. Instead of sending your digital records to an offsite dental lab to craft your crown, everything happens here in our office. The milling machine fabricates your crown from a ceramic block, which only takes 15-20 minutes.
Once your crown is out, we’ll bond it to your tooth with strong dental cement. Voila! That’s all it takes to rebuild your smile with a CEREC crown. There are no temporaries, messy impressions, or multiple dental visits.
