Cerec Crowns (Manufactured same day @ practice)
CEREC One-Appointment Crown:
For patients seeking a faster option, crowns can also be created and placed in one appointment using CEREC technology. A computer-assisted system designs and mills a precise, custom crown on-site, eliminating the need for a temporary crown.
Biological Dentistry Considerations
At The Home of Biological Dentistry, our focus is on safe, biocompatible solutions for tooth restoration. We often recommend crowns after:
- Safe removal of mercury or metal amalgam fillings
- Protecting weakened teeth, including those that have undergone root canal therapy
- Restoring broken or compromised tooth structures
Porcelain or ceramic crowns are preferred because they:
- Avoid metals that may introduce systemic health concerns
- Are durable and long-lasting
- Closely mimic the natural appearance of teeth
Takeaway for Patients:
- Crowns restore tooth strength, function, and aesthetics.
- Porcelain or ceramic crowns offer a safe, biocompatible, and natural-looking option.
- Proper oral care and regular check-ups are critical to maintain crown integrity and tooth health.
- In cases of root canal-treated teeth, crowns help protect the tooth, but patients should remain informed about underlying risks and monitor for infection or sensitivity.
Care and Maintenance:
- Brush and floss daily to prevent decay and gum disease.
- Avoid chewing very hard foods that could damage the crown.
- Attend regular dental visits to ensure the crown and surrounding teeth remain healthy.
