CEREC Crown System
Hagen Dental Practice is one of few practices in Cincinnati to offer the CEREC Crown System. Restoring an injured tooth can be extremely complicated and very time-consuming. But not anymore! In just one visit to Hagen Dental Practice, a beautiful smile can be yours with the CEREC dental restoration system.
How does the CEREC dental restoration system work?
After the injured tooth is prepared for treatment, an electronic camera scans the tooth, allowing you to see the image on a video monitor. The restoration is designed from this scan and automatically milled from a solid ceramic block. This procedure is done so precisely that the restoration can be accurately fitted and bonded to the prepared cavity. Restoration complete!
What type of material is the CEREC restoration?
CEREC restorations are made from ceramic, a natural substance with the same characteristics as healthy dental enamel. Like enamel, the ceramic is able to withstand everyday rigors such as grinding teeth or tolerating hot and cold food temperatures. Also, with the CEREC restoration, you will not experience the side effects of traditional metal fillings—metallic tastes or effects from electrical currents often caused when different metals are in neighboring teeth.
Does the CEREC restoration look natural?
With the CEREC restoration, Hagen Dental Practice can use ceramic materials that match the natural color of your teeth. Your repaired tooth will appear as the original. Not only is your tooth restored, your self-confidence will be, too!
Is the CEREC restoration as durable as traditional materials?
CEREC restorations are nearly as strong as dental enamel, the hardest of all materials in the human body. This strength and durability comes from the ceramic material, as well as from the precise bonding of the restoration to the tooth. At Hagen Dental Practice, the staff takes an extra step—conserving as much of the original dental material as possible. A CEREC restoration, bonded accurately and firmly, gives your teeth great stability. This frequently means no need for a full crown.
