Mississauga dentists offer CEREC same day crowns for Canada patients
Dental crowns are an important restoration that restores both the function of the tooth and the appearance of the smile. In many dental offices, a crown restoration typically takes several days or weeks. However, with Dr. Nakul Ratra and Dr. Navin Ratra at R Dentists in Mississauga, ON, and their advanced CEREC technology, residents in Canada can receive their restoration in a single day.
About dental crowns
A dental crown is a restorative tooth cap that is placed on the surface of the tooth. It is used when the tooth is badly damaged due to tooth decay or trauma to the mouth. Dental crowns can also be used to cover a dental implant or in conjunction with a bridge appliance in the case of a replacement tooth. Dental crowns are an important restoration as they restore the tooth’s function, allowing the patient to speak clearly and eat their favorite foods and improve the appearance of the tooth with custom specifications.
With traditional crowns, patients must visit the dental office twice. During the first appointment, the dental team will examine the mouth and remove weak, damaged, and decayed parts of the tooth. Next, the team will take x-rays and impressions, which are sent to a dental laboratory where the crown is created. When it’s complete, the patient returns to the office and the crown is bonded into place.
About CEREC crowns
Today’s advanced dental technology gives dentists the ability to restore their patient’s smile in a single appointment with in-office CAD/CAM system. The procedure is similar to that of traditional crowns, but instead of the patient leaving the office while the specifications are sent to a dental laboratory, they simply wait comfortably in the office while the crown is created from a solid block of ceramic. It will be customized to be the exact shade and shape to match the patient’s teeth.
