Getting crowns on your front teeth can transform your smile and give you back the functionality you need for smiling, eating, and speaking. Whether you’re dealing with a chipped tooth or one that has become discolored or weak, dental crowns will give you a durable solution that looks natural. And at Pearl Dental Care, Drs. Gary and Scott Pearl can put a crown on your tooth in one appointment, thanks to the game-changing CEREC technology. Here are some reasons crowns on your front teeth can give you back the smile you love.
First, dental crowns can fix a smile with aesthetic issues. This might include a tooth that has been damaged or even one that has serious discoloration. In addition to restoring the beauty of your smile, dental crowns play an important role in how healthy and functional your teeth are. For example, if you’ve had a root canal on a tooth, the tooth may be weak. In this scenario, a dental crown will protect the teeth from further damage.
CEREC is an acronym for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.” This groundbreaking technology allows patients to get a crown on their teeth in just one appointment. In the past, getting a dental crown took up to a couple of weeks because the crown had to be made in an external lab. CEREC technology changes that.
Most people have busy schedules, and getting a crown on your tooth in one appointment is a huge time-saver. With CEREC same-day crowns, you don’t have to have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Pearl.
CEREC crowns are customized to perfectly match your natural teeth color, shape, and size. Most importantly, these crowns are strong and durable, supporting the tooth’s biting surface. Patients also love that CEREC crowns last a long time.
To fit you for your CEREC crown, the dentists at Pearl Dental Care use 3D digital imaging to create accurate and precise crowns. This means you’ll have a perfect fit with no discomfort.
CEREC crowns are made from extremely durable materials designed to withstand the daily stress teeth experience, such as biting and chewing. Like traditional crowns, CEREC crowns can last between 10 and 15 years with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
