A crown can often restore a tooth compromised by severe decay, age, or accidental damage. Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover vulnerable teeth to protect them from further damage. A drawback to traditional crown treatment is that it can take several weeks to complete. At Redmond Smiles, we offer CEREC same-day dental restoration treatments that can be completed in one dental visit. Dr. Colby Eckland is your CEREC dentist near me in Everett, WA. If the prospect of same-day tooth repair sounds good, you could be a candidate for CEREC restorative treatment.
Here are five great reasons to choose CEREC restorations for your teeth:
Imagine having your tooth restored in one dental visit! That’s what you can expect from CEREC same-day dental restoration treatment. Dr. Eckland uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to design, manufacture, and place your restoration in one day instead of weeks. The entire process is completed at our Everett, WA, dental clinic. CEREC treatments save you the time and expense of temporary restorations and follow-up appointments to finalize your procedure.
CEREC restorations are made from digital impressions taken of your teeth, which are more accurate and convenient than traditional molds, which use gooey, putty-like material to capture the shape of your teeth. The precision of digital impressions enables Dr. Eckland to create a crown that fits comfortably and performs properly for biting and chewing. We’ll also be able to store these impressions on our computer for future use.
Traditional crowns require more modification of the tooth to be fixed. This can result in more natural tooth structure being removed, weakening your tooth. CEREC technology allows Dr. Eckland to preserve more of your tooth’s natural structure for crowns and onlays, maintaining the strength and integrity of your teeth.
CEREC crowns and onlays are made of high-grade porcelain material, with no metal added. Porcelain is known for its translucent, tooth-colored appearance that resembles natural tooth enamel. A custom crown will have little trouble blending in with surrounding teeth to restore your smile’s natural beauty.
CEREC porcelain restorations are exceptionally strong and durable, just like natural teeth. They’ll have no problems standing up to the rigors of biting and chewing. CEREC technology allows for a more precise, secure fit of CEREC crowns and onlays for optimal use. With good oral care and regular dental cleanings, CEREC restorations can have a long, healthy lifespan of 15 or more years. Dr. Eckland will check the state of your restorations during routine checkups to ensure they’re working as they should.
