When you have a decayed or damaged tooth, it doesn’t take long to disrupt your daily life. You may find it harder to chew, speak clearly, and confidently smile. While traditional crowns usually require more than one visit to the dentist, CEREC same-day crowns give you a modern solution that restores your tooth in just one appointment with Dr. Bridget Lervick at Grandview Center for Dentistry.
Busy people who juggle work, family, or travel find it disruptive and challenging to visit their dentist twice within a couple of weeks. This hassle is eliminated when you use Grandview Center for Dentistry for your dental care.
With traditional crowns, you must visit the dentist to get your crown fitted. A temporary crown is placed on your tooth, and your impressions are sent to an outside lab. You return to the office a week or two later to have your permanent crown placed. With CEREC crowns, all of this is handled in your initial appointment.
CEREC crowns are made using advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing technology, usually abbreviated as CAD/CAM. With digital imaging, Dr. Lervick captures 3D impressions of your teeth. The crown is designed and milled at Grandview Center for Dentistry. Your crown will fit beautifully, and CEREC crowns look completely natural.
CEREC same-day crowns are made with premium-quality ceramic built to withstand the bite and chewing forces your hard-working teeth go through every day. You can expect your CEREC crown to last between ten and fifteen years with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
Dr. Lervick’s color matches your crown to make it look like natural teeth for aesthetics. She also uses technology to shape the crown so it’s shaped identically to adjacent teeth.
If you have a tooth that’s cracked, structurally compromised, or broken, a CEREC crown protects it. At the same time, the crown prevents your tooth from becoming more damaged while restoring its full functionality.
Good oral hygiene and regular visits to Grandview Center for Dentistry are key to caring for your CEREC crown.
Dr. Lervick and her team give you highly personalized attention at Grandview Center for Dentistry. Every restoration is carefully crafted to fit your unique dental structure. For your front teeth, Dr. Lervick offers the option to have your crowns custom-crafted by outside ceramists.
