If you plan to get CEREC crowns, you may have questions about them. After all, their rarity leaves many patients without details about the overall treatment and how it works. Most would want to know more before they commit to such a unique procedure<\/a>. With all that said, your New Braunfels dentist is here to address your lingering worries and concerns. Simply keep reading to learn four common questions about CEREC crowns and their answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s a CEREC Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A patient\u2019s first question about CEREC crowns is often the most obvious one: What are they? Given that fact, starting with a treatment summary is only natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEREC crowns are those made with CEREC software, which allows for on-site crown design. That means dentists can create them without working with a distant dental lab. Instead, a practice can have their CEREC machines design the restorations using digital images and X-rays. This latter approach ensures precisely designed dental crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Do CEREC Crown Treatments Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have a definition, you may want to know how long CEREC crown treatments take. A procedure\u2019s timeline can be decisive in whether you get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average time for a CEREC crown treatment is about an hour or two. For most of that period, a dentist prepares your tooth for the cap by removing bits of enamel. (A machine mills the dental crown itself during the preparation.) You\u2019ll receive the final prosthetic at the appointment\u2019s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the Perks of CEREC Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll want to know what benefits CEREC crowns have. After all, why else would you get them if they don\u2019t have unique perks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, CEREC crowns have several upsides. Perhaps the most notable is their reduced treatment time; they can be designed and fitted in just one day. They also use ceramic materials, so they blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile. The caps even reduce the risk of oral damage by letting you skip the need for temporary crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do CEREC Crowns Last Forever?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Given their unique creation process, some patients see CEREC crowns as too good to be true. They\u2019ll often ask whether the caps can last forever as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, CEREC crowns don\u2019t have unlimited lifespans. They tend to work as long as regular kinds \u2013 about 10-15 years or so. If you have an accident or injury, the caps can even wear down earlier than usual. That means you\u2019ll need to give CEREC crowns proper care to ensure they last as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have other common questions about CEREC crowns, never fear. Just consult your dental provider to learn all the treatment facts you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
