Imagine you had one of the natural teeth in the front of your smile fracture. Many patient’s responses would understandably be depressing and to hide their smiles from that point on. Although unfortunate, that’s a very real possibility for many patients, especially with America’s levels of tooth decay rising every day. Instead of being ashamed of your fractured tooth, give yourself a new sense of self-confidence. A dental crown created with our advanced technology may be the restoration you need! Franklin Avenue Dental Care is equipped CEREC in Piedmont. We can restore your smile in one single appointment!
When You Might Need a Dental Crown
There are several reasons dentists recommend dental crowns and they all have two things in common: dental crowns are placed on the tooth to improve structure and its appearance. Here are some of the most common reasons one of our Tylan Creek dentists may recommend placing a dental crown:
- If you have tooth decay that’s too large for a traditional filling.
- If you have cracked, broken or severely worn-down teeth.
- If you’ve replaced a missing tooth with a dental implant.
- If you need to support a dental bridge placement.
- If you have misshapen or discolored teeth.
Getting a Same-Day Dental Crown in Simpsonville
If you’re familiar with dental crowns, getting one can be a time-consuming process. First, you would normally start the process by visiting one of our offices for an exam and/or X-rays. If your dentist concludes that a crown is best for restoring or correcting your smile, you’ll go in for another visit so the dentist can prepare your tooth and create a temporary crown. After your permanent crown is created in a lab separate from your original office, it can be weeks or even months before your permanent crown is ready. Sounds extremely inconvenient, right? Don’t worry—we value your time. That’s why we offer dental crowns that can be created and placed all during one appointment.
Comfort & Convenience
The biggest advantage of CEREC crowns is that they can be created and placed in a single visit. You may be wondering how that’s possible. Rather than one of our dentists sending out a request for the lab to create your crown, they can actually use CEREC technology our office invested in to create a beautiful crown that blends seamlessly among the rest of your smile. Basically, you just have to visit us once!
Secondly, CEREC crowns are usually more comfortable than traditional crowns. Again, this goes back to the dentist having complete control over your restoration. After all, your dentist is the one who examined your mouth. They are the perfect person to personalize your crown and ensure it’s a perfect fit. Crowns created in a lab, on the other hand, usually can’t offer this level of precision and accuracy.
More Advantages of Same Day Dental Crowns
In addition to comfort and convenience, CEREC crowns have a variety of other benefits over traditional crowns including:
- Your dentist has complete control of the shape, fit and color of the crown.
- They’re made from materials that are just as strong and durable as regular crowns.
- Since there isn’t any metal, they’re much more compatible with your body.
- The look and function of the crown is very similar to your natural teeth.
