How Do CEREC Dental Crowns Work?

Share This Post

You may know that dental crowns can repair damaged teeth to prevent extractions, but you may not know that some dentists can give you a permanent dental crown in just one office visit. Ridgetop Dental Group is a Northern VA dentist offering same-day dental crowns to restore the appearance, shape, and alignment of damaged teeth in just one office visit.

How Do Dental Crowns Work?

Teeth may require dental crowns for a variety of reasons, such as after a root canal, tooth break, decay, or as the final restoration of a dental implant. The damaged tooth is prepared or treated and then the crown acts as a seal to keep the tooth together. This helps dentists avoid tooth extractions, keeping the teeth properly aligned and preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.

Crowns are fixed over the top of the damaged tooth to protect the sensitive tissue inside. They are made of durable materials such as porcelain, resin, or a composite biocompatible material strong enough to endure chewing and daily use. Once the crown is cemented to the tooth, it becomes a permanent part of your healthy smile.
