7 Popular Features of CEREC Crowns

A fractured or broken tooth isn’t always a lost cause. Often, a damaged tooth can be repaired with a dental crown. At Cotton Creek Dental, we make use of CEREC technology to repair damaged teeth speedily with crowns in a day. Drs. David Brown and Jacob Jennings are your go-to dentists for same-day crowns in the Washington, Utah area.

CEREC crowns offer several amazing features that contribute to their popularity. Here are just a few:  

1. Provide Instant Pain Relief

A fractured or broken tooth is bound to be painful, making it difficult to use. CEREC crowns provide instant pain relief. Crowning your tooth gives it a new structure for biting and chewing, making it useful once more. A crown will also shield your tooth from sensitivity caused by hot or cold foods and drinks. CEREC crowns relieve pain and restore comfortable chewing.

2. Ready in One Dental Visit  

Traditional crowns are created in an off-site lab from impressions taken of your teeth, a process that can take up to two weeks to complete. CEREC crowns can be designed, milled and placed in one dental visit. You’ll walk out of our dental office with your tooth totally renewed.

3. No Need for Temporary Crown

As there’s no lengthy waiting period for CEREC crowns, there’s no need for a temporary crown or follow-up dental visits! This saves you time and money on your treatment. Avoiding temporary crowns can also minimize or eliminate the sensitivity often associated with having a temporary crown.

4. Strong, Natural-looking Restorations 

Crowns in a day are made from superior-grade ceramic material for strength and durability. They’re custom-designed to complement existing teeth naturally, making them indistinguishable. A beautiful, healthy-looking smile is all people will see after your treatment.

5. Designed by Your Doctor

Crowns made at dental labs are designed and fabricated by lab technicians, NOT a doctor. Here at Cotton Creek Dental, your same day crown will always be designed by your doctor who will customize the size, shape, and fit for you and your specific needs. This leads to improved outcomes and happier patients.

6. Precise Fit

CEREC restorations are created using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) CEREC technology for greater accuracy and precision. Your crown is designed and milled from detailed, digital impressions taken of your teeth for a comfortable, snug fit. A well-fitted crown will feel and function like a real tooth. The technology we use here at Cotton Creek Dental is the same advanced technology used by modern dental labs, but on a much smaller scale. This ensures that the quality of your new crown consistently meets the highest standards of precision and durability. 

7. Convenience

Convenience is one of the greatest attributes of crowns in a day. There’s no delay in restoring your damaged tooth and compromised smile. We’ll evaluate your condition, prepare your tooth and take impressions to create your crown on your initial visit. Your crown will be designed and milled while you wait comfortably at our dental office. Once it’s ready, we’ll place it over your damaged tooth to restore it like new!    

8. Cost-Effective Treatment

Overall, CEREC crowns are comparable to the cost of traditional crowns as they eliminate your need for temporary restorations, follow-up visits and time from your busy work schedule. CEREC crown treatment is also less costly than having your damaged tooth removed and replaced by a dental implant in the future.
