Dental crowns can help protect damaged teeth from infection and restore their function. While traditional crowns can cause some discomfort and inconvenience, they’re not the only option. Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC) crowns provide a dental crown option that’s more comfortable and convenient. Unlike traditional crowns, these crowns use computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. Keep the following information about the CEREC crown procedure in mind when you need dental crowns for your teeth.

A dental crown is not an uncommon artificial tooth. Many people need them from time to time as they suffer damage or have to have an existing tooth removed.

If your smile isn’t perfect, it may be time to visit your dentist to learn more about how crowns can help you.

If you want a smile that’s your crowning glory, you may need a crown to cover a tooth to help restore it to its normal shape and size. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance.
