Are CEREC Crowns as Good as Traditional Crowns?
When it comes to restoring a damaged tooth, you might wonder if CEREC crowns as good as traditional crowns. At Melton Dental House, we offer both options, so let’s break down the differences to help you choose.
What Exactly Are CEREC Crowns?
CEREC crowns are made using advanced CAD/CAM technology, allowing your dentist to design and mill the crown in a single visit. These high-quality ceramic crowns are custom-made to match your natural tooth, offering a quick and effective solution.
Traditional Crowns: What’s the Process?
Traditional crowns require two appointments. During the first, the tooth is prepared, and an impression is sent to the lab. A temporary crown is fitted until your permanent crown is ready, which usually takes a couple of weeks.
Convenience vs. Time
CEREC crowns are the convenient option, especially for busy patients. Traditional crowns take a little longer, but both methods yield high-quality results. The choice comes down to your preference and availability.
Strength and Durability
Both CEREC and traditional crowns are incredibly durable. CEREC crowns are made from a solid block of ceramic, which is strong enough for everyday chewing forces. Traditional crowns can be made from different materials, including porcelain-fused-to-metal, and are just as durable when properly cared for.
Aesthetics: Natural Look and Feel
CEREC crowns offer a natural, lifelike appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile. Traditional crowns can be just as aesthetically pleasing, depending on the material used. Both options provide an excellent cosmetic outcome.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Choosing between CEREC and traditional crowns depends on your schedule and dental needs. If speed is your priority, CEREC crowns are the best choice. If you prefer a more traditional process, you can’t go wrong with lab-crafted crowns.
