\"Ceramic<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Dentistry has evolved, and the advancements made have created reliable, convenient treatments. For instance, dental crowns now have a same-day or CEREC option<\/a> that many patients go for. It\u2019s just as sturdy as the traditional restoration, but you might still want to learn more about it before choosing it. Here are three interesting facts about it to feel confident in deciding on your oral health.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Digital Impressions Are Used<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the past, impressions were taken with putty. You\u2019d have to bite down on it and wait for it to harden until it can be removed while keeping the details of your smile. This often triggers many people\u2019s gag reflex and is often uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, same-day crowns don\u2019t use this. They use a special device that scans your teeth to create a virtual model. Your restoration will be made according to it, and your results will fit comfortably afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll Get Your Final Results in Just a Couple of Hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With traditional crowns, the process is often split between two appointments that are two weeks apart. This is to wait for a dental lab to craft them and make sure they are perfect. However, same-day options are often done within just a couple of hours. A bulk of this time is spent preparing your tooth by removing enamel on all sides of the structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it\u2019s ready, digital impressions will be taken, and your dentist will model your restoration. This will then get sent to an in-office milling machine that sculpts it out of a block of ceramic. This can take about 20 minutes, but you\u2019ll just sit back and relax during this. When it\u2019s ready, it will be bonded on, and you can show off your final results. That way, you don\u2019t need to block out any more time in your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEREC Crowns Are Just as Reliable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although same-day crowns are very convenient, you might worry that they won\u2019t last as long as traditional versions. The good news is that they are just as durable. By taking proper care of them, they can last for over a decade or longer. That way, you can get back the look and function of your smile sooner and enjoy your results for a long while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
