Frequently asked questions about same-day tooth restoration with CEREC crowns
When there is significant damage to a natural tooth, a visit to the dentist for restorative services is needed. Dental crowns are often used to cover the tooth and even offer an extra layer of protection against further damage, but at most dental practices, they can take more than one visit to complete. However, Dr. Matt Gaebelein and his team at Strongsville Smile Keepers in Strongsville, Ohio, are excited to offer a quick and efficient way to complete this repair in just one day: CEREC dental crowns. Dr. Gaebelein knows patients value their time and proudly provides same-day tooth restoration using CEREC CAD/CAM technology.
What are CEREC dental crowns?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. This state-of-the-art technology allows Dr. Gaebelein to create high-quality, custom-made dental crowns in just one appointment. Traditionally, getting a crown involved several appointments and waiting weeks for the final restoration to be completed in a lab. However, with CEREC, the entire process can typically be completed in as little as two hours in one visit!
How does the CEREC technology work?
The CEREC dental system uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create dental crowns right in the dental office. The first step is for Dr. Gaebelein of Strongsville Smile Keepers to prepare the damaged natural tooth by removing any decay or old filling materials. Then, the tooth is scanned using a special camera that creates a three-dimensional image of the tooth. This image is then used to design and fabricate a customized crown that fits right over the prepared tooth with precision!
What are the advantages of CEREC dental crowns?
One of the main benefits of using CEREC dental crowns to restore your smile is the time savings. While conventional crowns take multiple appointments and weeks to complete, CEREC crowns can be finished in just one appointment. This is especially beneficial for patients who have busy schedules or live farther away from Strongsville Smile Keepers and Dr. Matt Gaebelein.
Additionally, the use of CAD/CAM technology ensures a precise and accurate fit for the crown, resulting in a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your other teeth. Often, no adjustments or changes are needed as the computer technology works to ensure the best fit possible. CEREC technology helps us create a crown for a front tooth, a back tooth, or anywhere in between that looks great and functions well for you.
