Ask Your Dentist: Pros and Cons of CEREC Crowns

Thinking about asking your dentist if CEREC® crowns are right for you? Your dentist is the ideal person to ask for any dental-related tips and advice. Not only do they have the education and training necessary to guide you in the right direction, but your dentist is also familiar with your mouth and therefore knows what will work for you.

Why CEREC crowns?

Wondering why CEREC crowns are so popular nowadays? Because it allows the dental crown placement process to be completed in just one dental appointment. While this is good news for any dental patient, it is especially good news for those who live busy lives and as a result, find it difficult to make regular dental appointments. The CEREC crown process can be used to restore broken teeth, chipped teeth and/or decayed teeth, as well as to replace potentially harmful amalgam fillings with tooth-colored fillings.

Pros and cons of CEREC crowns

The following is a list of the pros and cons that come with choosing CEREC crowns, a dental procedure that has been in use for more than 30 years now.

Pro: CEREC dental crowns can be placed in just one dental appointment

The fact that CEREC crowns offer dental patients the ability to have necessary crowns placed on their teeth in just one dental appointment makes this option extremely beneficial for all patients. Because people are so busy nowadays, many are looking for same-day dental options.

Pro: CEREC technology uses precision technology to create permanent restoration crowns

CEREC technology uses precision dental technologies to create the quality, permanent dental crowns that patients need for good oral health. This modern technology allows dentists to both design and create dental crowns in a short amount of time, an impressive feat for creating permanent dental crowns.

Pro: CEREC crowns are made using dental materials that closely match natural teeth

CEREC uses tooth-colored ceramic materials. These materials are not only very strong and functional, but they also very closely match a patient's real teeth, making for the natural look that patients are looking for nowadays.

Con: CEREC crowns are not the strongest type of crown available

While CEREC technology does not make the strongest dental crowns, the crowns made using a CEREC machine are still strong and durable. The strongest dental crown is made from zirconia, but since this dental material is quite opaque, this type of dental crown will often not match the rest of a patient's teeth.

Con: CEREC crowns may not be a good option for a fracture that is underneath the gum line

When a patient has a tooth fracture that extends beneath the gum line, it may be necessary for them to get a traditional crown, as traditional crowns are often a better fit for extreme tooth fractures.

Ready to have your crowns made quickly?

Now that you read the above information, are CEREC crowns right for you? Dental crowns are necessary when you are experiencing problems with one or more of your teeth, as crowns can protect your teeth from being lost forever. Since a healthy mouth is one that has a full set of teeth, you really want to keep your natural teeth for as long as possible. By making an appointment with us today, know you can have your crowns placed during this single appointment.
