Sometimes teeth acquire damage from decay, injury, or dental trauma. In these cases, you can protect them from further wear-and-tear through the help of a dental crown, a custom-made cap that covers entire tooth up to the gum line. Typical dental crowns usually take two appointments to complete. At our Walker Dentistry office in Fishers, IN, our dentist offers CEREC same-day crowns so that you can walk out the door with a restored smile, and without sacrificing your time.
What Is CEREC Technology?
CEREC uses computer-aided designing and manufacturing technology to craft a "cap" or dental crown that snuggly fits over your existing tooth. Our dentist will review your smile goals during your consultation and design it to exactly match your natural teeth using specialized software. The digital smile design is then transferred to our milling machine that carves your permanent crown in just a few minutes.
Why Choose CEREC Same-Day Crowns?
CEREC Same-Day crowns are a convenient way to restore your smile and save your tooth in one hour. There is no need for additional appointments, so you'll save time. We design your dental crown while you wait, with the help of CAD/CAM software. Because they are meant to match the color of your teeth, they provide a natural appearance, which means that no one will notice that you have tooth restoration material in your mouth. During your appointment at Walker Dentistry, we will make sure that you are comfortable with the bite and feel of your CEREC same-day crown.
Caring For Your Dental Crown
Your dental crown requires the same amount of attention as the rest of your teeth. It's necessary to brush and floss regularly to prevent plaque buildup, which can lead to periodontal disease. Once your dentist in Fishers, IN, applies your CEREC same-day crown, you should avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or that stubborn packet of hot sauce. Since we want your dental crown to last a lifetime, you should visit our office annually for professional cleaning and maintenance.
