Are CEREC Porcelain Crowns a good choice for all patients?

12/13/2019

2 Comments

 
CEREC, short for ceramic reconstruction, is an innovative method of using CAD/CAM technology to design and fabricate all porcelain restorations, at the dentist’s office. That means that the patient’s treatment can be completed in one visit, without the expense of a temporary crown and another day away from work, while the finished piece is made at an off site lab. 

That’s good news for most patients. However, Dr. Don Jones knows that each tooth, smile, patient, and lifestyle is unique. At Social Circle Dental, CEREC is not a cookie-cutter solution for all patients. Dr. Jones takes time to thoroughly analyze your situation. Then he applies training, skill, experience, and artistry to develop the best restoration plan to meet your needs.

When is CEREC a good choice? 

A CEREC crown is called a direct restoration because it is made chairside, at Social Circle Dental. Three dimensional images and impressions provide information to a robust computer program. The computer designs a crown with precise fit and natural tooth shape. It sends that plan to a milling machine that carves the restoration from a solid block of porcelain. 

Porcelain is a tough ceramic material. CEREC all porcelain crowns are strong enough to withstand the bite pressure on back teeth. Porcelain mimics the light reflecting qualities of tooth enamel, so CEREC crowns blend nicely with your smile and resist stains, too. 

When is an indirect restoration more appropriate? 

An indirect restoration is a crown made at a professional dental laboratory. Dr. Jones may recommend this type of crown for a tooth that is readily visible when you speak or smile. Why? You probably think of your tooth color simply as white. In reality, though, each one of your teeth has subtle shading variations, which CEREC crowns cannot perfectly mimic. In this case Dr. Jones works closely with the lab to create a crown with the same translucency and exact coloration to be indistinguishable in your smile.

CEREC is a wonderful solution when you need a strong, natural-looking crown in one visit, but it isn't right for every situation. Patients throughout Social Circle and surrounding areas trust Dr. Jones to explain their options and help them make informed dental healthcare decisions.

Each patient has different types of needs when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. CEREC porcelain crowns can be a good choice for some but not to all. Each patient is unique and it is important that each patient should be consulted first by the dental expert to thoroughly know what kind of crown is best for them.

Thank you for this very informative blog post! Dental crowns are a common dental procedure that are used to repair damaged teeth. They are also known as dental crowns or veneers and can be constructed of porcelain, metal, resin composite, or gold.

A dental crown is a type of treatment that covers the entire tooth. It can be used on a single tooth or a group of teeth, depending on the extent of the injury. A dentist will thoroughly clean a tooth, fill it with a dental filling, and then cover it with a crown.

A dental crown helps prevent additional damage and restores your smile's function and appearance!
