Dental crowns are a popular restoration used for a variety of purposes, including as part of your dental implant procedure.
Because my team and I use crowns so widely (and in many aspects of dentistry), it only makes sense to forgo the waiting period and fit our patients with same-day restorations.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are customized covers that fit over prepared teeth or dental implant posts to repair and restore smiles. They always blend flawlessly with unrestored teeth and look completely natural.
How I use dental crowns in Knoxville, TN:
- To cover a damaged or at-risk tooth, sometimes following root canal treatment.
- To hide tooth flaws, such as tooth stains, chips, and general abnormalities.
- To lengthen short teeth to level the bite field.
- To connect a dental bridge to healthy teeth.
- To cap a dental implant post.
About CEREC Same-Day Tooth Crowns
In many cases, patients wait weeks for dental crowns, but with CEREC technology, I can take a digital impression of the prepared tooth and print it right here in my dental office. These are quality crowns cut from a single piece of porcelain.
How Same-Day Dental Crowns Hasten the Dental Implant Process
If same-day dental crowns are part of your dental implant plan, it can mean one fewer dental appointment for placement and adjustment. With CEREC technology, I can print and place your crown during a single office visit.
Typically, a dentist takes impressions and sends the results to an outside lab. Then, the waiting begins. CEREC technology eliminates this step for more straightforward treatment.
