What You Need to Know About CEREC Crowns
June 6, 2017
If you need a dental crown, there are very few alternatives that will provide the same protection for your tooth. That’s why Dr. Cervenka recommends CEREC crowns in Orlando, FL for local patients who need crown work. CEREC crowns are unique because they can be built in a day, and their unique manufacturing process produces a better fit than traditional crowns.
Why CEREC Crowns Are High Quality
It might seem like a one-day manufacture for a crown produces a product that is temporary and that is how crowns have worked for a long time. But thanks to 3D printing technology, your dentist is now able to create crowns in a single day and the process is fairly simple on your end:
- Your mouth is mapped with sophisticated computer tools that produce an instant image.
- That image is then processed by a 3D printer that can build your ceramic crown.
- Printing is done immediately, and you do not have to worry about casting a mold.
This process not only makes these crowns a better fit because of the accuracy of the computer model, it also makes for a more comfortable procedure for patients because the process of creating a mold for a crown has always been somewhat inconvenient. The crowns are ceramic, just like most replacement crowns that you will wait for, and the superior fit is well worth it.
