The crown of the tooth<\/a>\ncarries a major workload. Since it\u2019s the part that sits above the gum line, it\u2019s\nresponsible for dealing with the dynamic environment inside your mouth. When it\nbecomes badly decayed or damaged, the only remedy, often, is to replace it. There\nare two ways to go about this: a traditional or CEREC dental crown in Grafton. If\nyou\u2019re wondering how they differ and which may be better for you, then continue\nreading to get the answer from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is a Traditional Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a traditional crown replacement, after any restorative\nwork is completed (like a root canal), your dentist will take bite impressions.\nThey will be sent to an in-network lab that will fabricate a new dental crown, and\nin about two weeks, it will arrive at your dentist\u2019s office so he or she can permanently\nbond it into position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve suffered a severe tooth fracture that extends below\nthe gum line, a traditional crown may be the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Difference CEREC Makes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most attractive feature of a CEREC (Chairside Economical\nRestoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crown is that the entire process is completed\nin a single visit. Better yet, it typically only takes about two hours to fully\nrestore your tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is made possible through a combination of the latest\ntechnology in computer-aided design (CAD) and modeling (CAM). After removing\nany damaged material, your dentist will immediately begin the design and fabrication\nprocess \u2013 all in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the specific perks of CEREC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
