The 5 Easy Steps of Restoring Your Smile with CEREC Dental Crowns
Do you dread the process of getting a traditional crown? We understand! Conventional crowns involve multiple trips to a dentist spanning weeks. Although they work, traditional crowns can be a turn-off for anyone hard-pressed for time, and many may choose to skip the process altogether.
Buscemi Family Dentistry values your time and understands not everyone can make time for multiple trips to a dentist. Dr. Vincent Buscemi offers CEREC same-day crowns in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, to restore your smile without the traditional wait. Single-visit crowns allow us to plan, design, fabricate, and place dental crowns in a single appointment!
Understanding the CEREC crown restoration process
When you have a severely decayed or damaged tooth, prompt restoration is essential to avert unnecessary discomfort and restore oral function. CEREC dental crowns allow for same-day placement, providing immediate functionality.
What does placing CEREC crowns involve? It takes the following easy steps.
- Initial consultation: Like a traditional crown, your treatment starts with a consultation to examine the tooth in question. The dentist will use digital X-rays and photos to determine your tooth’s condition. Sometimes, your tooth may require additional care like root canal therapy to resolve infections before crown placement.
- Tooth preparation: If your tooth is viable for a crown, we’ll prepare it by removing the decayed or damaged portions of your tooth. Next, the dentist will reshape your tooth to accommodate the shape of your crown. The dentist usually performs tooth preparation after administering local anesthetics to optimize your comfort.
- Digital impressions: The dentist will scan your tooth with an intraoral camera. We’ll create a 3D simulation of your smile in minutes using advanced imaging technology. Then, the dentist will use the computer-assisted design (CAD) unit to design your crown, matching your tooth’s exact color, size, and shape.
- Fabrication and fitting: Once your crown is approved, we’ll feed it into an in-house milling machine, which fabricates your dental crown within 15 minutes or less. Unlike conventional crowns, we don’t need to send your digital records to an off-site dental lab. CEREC technology allows us to do everything in-house, from planning to fabrication. CEREC crowns are created with pinpoint precision. Once your crown is out, we’ll make little to no adjustments before using permanent dental cement to bond it to your tooth.
- Aftercare: CEREC dental crowns are created to last as many years as traditional crowns. However, this longevity depends on how well you maintain your crown. Ensure your crown remains healthy by brushing and flossing your teeth diligently. Besides, visit your dentist every six months for regular exams and cleanings. If you grind your teeth or participate in contact sports, use a customized mouth guard to protect your crown and teeth. Lastly, avoid hard foods or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage.
