Traditionally, you would need to wait\nfor at least a month for a restoration, but why live with an incomplete smile\nfor that long when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bristolfamilydentalct.com\/cerec.html\">CEREC system<\/a> can\nfix your tooth in just one appointment? Your dentist can give you plenty of\nreasons why same day crowns are better than using traditional methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Same Day Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It normally takes at least two appointments to get a new\ncrown: one visit to prepare the tooth and take an impression, and then another visit\na few weeks later for the crown to be attached to your broken tooth. However,\nthanks to a modern system called CEREC (Ceramic Reconstruction), some practices\ncan eliminate the need to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a same day crown using the CEREC system, your\ndentist will first use a 3D camera to take pictures of your tooth. (This method\nof creating an \u201cimpression\u201d is more precise and less uncomfortable than using\ndental putty.) The digital images are then used by special CAD\/CAM to design the\ncrown and then mill it out of a block of ceramic material. Once it\u2019s done, all\nthat\u2019s left is the placement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Advantages of Same Day Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, using CEREC to make a restoration in one day has\nmany advantages over traditional methods, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Convenience: <\/strong>You won\u2019t need to make\nmultiple visits to the dentist to have your crown fitted and installed. That\nmeans less time away from work and more time enjoying your fully repaired\ntooth.<\/li><li><strong>No Temporary Fillings: <\/strong>Patients who get\ntraditional crowns might need temporary fillings to protect their teeth in the\nmeantime, but with CEREC there\u2019s no need for this separate procedure.<\/li><li><strong>Improved Comfort:<\/strong> Many patients have\nreported feeling more physically and mentally comfortable when getting a same\nday crown.<\/li><li><strong>Improved Appearance:<\/strong> The ceramic used to\ncreate a same day crown can be used to create false teeth that look and feel\nnatural. They generally look more attractive than traditional porcelain fused\nto metal crowns that tend to have a fine black line that runs along the gum\nline.<\/li><li><strong>Precision:<\/strong> Because the tooth is\nmade-to-measure in a single day, it\u2019s more likely to be a perfect fit.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, not everyone is a candidate for same day crowns;\nin some cases, traditional crowns or another kind of treatment altogether will\nbe recommended instead. For example, the condition and the location of the\ntooth might affect the crown\u2019s chances of success. Talk to your dentist about your\ncondition and learn about all the options available to you. If you\u2019re looking\nfor a convenient solution for your broken teeth, don\u2019t forget to keep CEREC\nsame day crowns in mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Bristol Family Dental, we help ensure that everyone who\nvisits our practice receive the highest-quality care possible whenever they\nvisit thanks to the general dentists, periodontist and endodontist on our\nstaff.
