Q & A On Same Day Dental Crowns
In this article, our dentist Newcastle will be answering the most common questions we receive about same day dental crowns.
What Is The Most Significant Benefit Of Same Day Crowns?
It’s hard to narrow it down to just one benefit!
Same day crowns, at your Nib dental Newcastle clinic, can transform your smile in such a short timeframe. When a person has made the decision to improve their teeth for the better, they’re often ready to go immediately. They don’t want to spend their time waiting for several weeks with a ‘temporary crown’ installed that’ll need to be removed later. Nor do they want a second dental visit hanging over their head.
Another benefit of same day crowns at a dentist near me is their precision, which is a result of the 3D printers and CAD/CAM programs used by the best dentist in Newcastle. Never before have crowns been so perfectly shaped to suit your mouth and look like the real thing.
What is CEREC Technology?
CEREC technology is the industry-leading, modern technology that we have on site at our complete dental Newcastle clinic. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. CEREC technology will take a 3D scan of your mouth and with the aid of your Newcastle Afterpay Dentist, will generate your crowns on the same day, within the same hour, of your dental visit.
What Happens When I Get a Same Day Crown?
Firstly, your Cosmetic Dentist Newcastle will assess your mouth and determine whether a crown is the best solution for you. It may be the case that another treatment, such as dental veneers, works better for your circumstances. Next, your dentist will prepare the tooth, ensuring that it is shaped in a way that will accommodate the crown. Then the dentist will use the CEREC technology to scan your tooth, and the equipment will start to generate your crown. At the end of your appointment, your dentist will then take this crown and bond it to the existing tooth.
How Long Do Crowns Last For?
Your crown is likely to last for approximately 10 years. However, with a proper care regime (as advised by your Newcastle dental expert), your crowns may last for decades. If you get a dental crown at the best dentist Newcastle, it is unlikely to fall out; however, we do occasionally have new clients call who have dislodged their crowns while eating. If this happens to you, book in immediately and your dentist will either reinstall your crown or replace it using their same-day dental crown technology. In the meantime, avoid eating hard and chewy foods, and chew on the opposite site of your mouth.
