If your cosmetic dentist in Corona has told
you teeth are too far gone for porcelain veneers, cosmetic dental crowns may be
the answer. Just remember, conventional crowns take two dental appointments to
complete making the procedure less than attractive for people who aren’t sure
about cosmetic dentistry.
CEREC® Cosmetic Crowns in a Day
If you follow your Corona dentist’s office
blog, you’ll remember that CEREC® is a remarkable one-day dental procedure that
takes place chairside. In less than two hours, you can have a beautiful new
cosmetic or restorative dental crown that is metal free, strong, and natural
looking.
Conventional crowns, whether they are metal
to porcelain or porcelain require two or even three dental appointments.
Because you need to be fitted for an impression and have some tooth removal,
the first appointment will not be the most comfortable one.
Cosmetic dental crowns require some removal
of the natural structure of the tooth or teeth. This is necessary for proper
fit as the crown fits like a cap over the tooth.
CEREC® dental crowns do not require as much
removal and are fitted in one day with your dentist’s office in Corona.
Conventional Crowns Take Time
During your first appointment, your Corona
cosmetic dentist will take x-rays and pictures before preparing the tooth. This
requires some removal and for this reason, you will be fitted with a temporary
dental crown.
Before you are fitted for your temp, your
Corona dentist will make an impression for your final dental crown. This
process is uncomfortable and for those with a gagging reflex, nearly
impossible.
CEREC® is a Snap
CEREC® uses an intraoral camera that eliminates
gagging and goopy impressions. The images are sent to the computer where you
dentist in Corona will check for final color before sending to the in-house
milling machine for manufacture.
Your crown takes about 45 minutes in the
machine during which time you can relax, check your email, or watch TV.
When your crown is finished, it is checked
for color and fit before being cemented and cured. Once satisfied your dentist
in Corona will polish to perfection.
