\"Dentist<\/p>\n

Dental crowns are a popular way to address different dental issues. These tooth-shaped caps are cemented over your teeth and can shield them from harm while restoring their appearance and functionality.<\/p>\n

In the past, completing the dental crown process required multiple appointments over several weeks. Thankfully, that\u2019s no longer the case today! Advancements in dental technology and materials have led to CEREC<\/a> (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) same-day restorations. Continue reading to learn 3 fascinating facts about them that might surprise you!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fact #1: It Might Only Take 2 Hours<\/h2>\n

Historically, your dentist had to prepare your tooth for your crown, then make impressions and take images to send to a special dental lab to begin building it. Although this method is still used, it often takes weeks for the final product to be delivered.<\/p>\n

Today, CEREC same-day crowns allow you to skip the wait. Your provider can load all the necessary imaging and information into special software to design your one-of-a-kind prosthetic. Then, it can be carved from a cube of ceramic loaded into an onsite milling machine. This process can be finished in as few as two hours!<\/p>\n

Fact #2: Making Impressions Is Easier<\/h2>\n

Manual impressions for restorations like dental crowns typically involve biting into a tray full of gross-tasting putty until it hardens around your teeth. Many patients struggle with a sensitive gag reflex or don\u2019t like the taste of the material, and if you open your mouth or adjust the force applied by your jaw, the finished product might have errors.<\/p>\n

CEREC technology utilizes digital impressions that do not require biting into any slimy goop. This digital scanner creates a more accurate 3D model of your teeth and gums to improve your comfort and the fit of your dental crown.<\/p>\n

Fact #3: They Last Just as Long<\/h2>\n

If you think opting for a product that is made more quickly means that you\u2019re sacrificing quality for speed, you can set your concerns aside! This method utilizes a resilient ceramic material that looks lifelike and can be customized to be the same size, shape, and shade as your natural teeth for seamless results. Not only that, but it also usually lasts just as long as traditional dental crowns.<\/p>\n

With CEREC same-day restorations, you can enjoy all the same benefits of a traditional dental crown but without the lengthy wait!<\/p>\n
