\"CEREC<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Dental crowns are the standard solution for repairing damaged or decayed teeth so you can continue using them to eat and speak normally. In the past, dentists relied on silver or amalgam restorations that were durable enough to withstand daily biting and chewing, but which often left patients feeling self-conscious about their appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to contemporary dental technology and materials, today, many providers offer tooth-colored CEREC crowns<\/a> that can be placed the same day as your initial visit. If you\u2019re unfamiliar with this option, continue reading through these 3 frequently asked questions and answers to learn more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Question #1: How are CEREC Dental Crowns Made?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional tooth-colored dental crowns involve making impressions of your teeth that are sent to a dental laboratory to craft your restoration. It can take a couple of weeks for it to be delivered, so your dentist will likely need to place a temporary one to protect the affected tooth until the permanent one arrives and can be cemented in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the longer the wait time, the more likely you are to develop additional damage, decay, or an infection. Meanwhile, CEREC dental crowns utilize advanced digital impressions that are uploaded to special software to design your tooth-shaped cap, which is then carved from an onsite milling machine in the same visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question #2: How Long Do CEREC Dental Crowns Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you concerned that by opting for a same-day restoration that you\u2019re sacrificing longevity for convenience? You\u2019re not alone if you\u2019re worried that a CEREC crown won\u2019t last as long, but thankfully, that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These covers are made from resilient ceramic that resists chips, cracks, and stains, and they often last between 5 and 15+ years, which can be just as long as the lifespan of prosthetics made at a lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question #3: Does Insurance Cover CEREC Dental Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most dental insurance plans cover up to 100% of routine checkups, cleaning, and X-rays, and also include at least partial coverage of major procedures, such as getting a dental crown, regardless of how it\u2019s made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But every policy is unique and there are no guarantees, so it\u2019s worth checking the details of your coverage. If you\u2019re uninsured or are still worried about the cost, you can ask your dentist whether they offer any financial options, such as flexible payment plans, to help make treatments more affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a damaged tooth needing repair and aren\u2019t sure whether you\u2019re a good candidate for a CEREC dental crown, you can find out by scheduling an appointment with your provider!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
