Crowns are considered the go-to for these situations, as they\u2019re capable of restoring these teeth in terms of look and feel. But while in the past it took multiple appointments to have a crown placed, it can now be done in a single appointment with the help of CEREC technology. Here are some of the notable pros and cons of going down the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deandentalcare.com\/cerec-same-day.html\">CEREC<\/a> route so that you can make an informed decision about your smile\u2019s future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of CEREC Same-Day Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most obvious advantage that these crowns offer is how fast the procedure can be completed. While traditional dental crowns may take 1 \u2013 2 weeks and several trips to the dental office to be created, a CEREC crown can be planned out, milled, and placed on the tooth all within a single appointment. This also eliminates the need for a patient to wear a temporary crown, which can sometimes cause teeth and gum problems. Better yet, this faster timeline doesn\u2019t sacrifice anything in terms of quality; the crowns still look beautiful and natural thanks to the ceramic materials used to create them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Downsides of CEREC Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they\u2019re certainly enticing, CEREC crowns do come with some minor disadvantages. Since they\u2019re made from ceramic, they might not be quite as durable as a metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown. Likewise, they aren\u2019t suitable for every tooth \u2013 for instance, a tooth with a fracture extending below the gumline likely wouldn&#8217;t benefit from a CEREC crown. Finally, it\u2019s also worth noting that CEREC crowns do tend to be more expensive than traditional options, due to their convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEREC crowns have both positive and negative aspects to them, but it\u2019s hard to deny the convenience of being able to restore your tooth in a single visit. In any case, don\u2019t hesitate to speak with your dentist about which option may be better for your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the talented leadership of Dr. Stephen Dean, the team at Dean Dental Care has proudly served patients and families in the Covington, GA community for several years.
