Strengthen Teeth And Renew Smiles With Dental Crowns In Naperville
Living Well Dental Group has expertise in restoring badly worn, decayed, or chipped teeth with customized crowns. Dental crowns are custom-fitted tooth prosthetics that are used to restore damaged teeth. Crowns, or dental caps, are a tooth-like covering placed over existing teeth that are specially prepared by a licensed dentist. A crown is non-removable and must be cemented in place. With the help of a crown or cap, our dentist Naperville restores the normal function and appearance of your tooth. To explore your options for dental crowns in Naperville, IL, call (630) 503-7414.
What the Dental crowns procedure entails?
This procedure typically takes 2 hours, which includes 30-45 minutes of free time for the patient while the crown is milled.
Once the tooth is prepared to ensure proper fit, the CEREC Omniscan scanner, captures the area to be treated (no messy impressions needed)
The restoration is then created as a 3D model on the computer
The restoration is then milled from a ceramic block directly in the office
The final restoration is seated in your mouth just a little while later, providing you with a natural-looking, durable dental crown in a single appointment.
Products used in theDental crowns procedure
CEREC restorative technology affords the opportunity to have your teeth prepared as well as your restoration crafted and permanently placed, all in one convenient visit. The restoration is metal-free and the high grade ceramic material is compatible with the natural tissue found in your mouth. CEREC (which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a computerized system that allows us to design and craft beautiful, customized ceramic restorations right here in the office during your appointment.
Expected recovery process after Dental crowns
Your teeth will need time to heal following crown placement so it’s normal for you to experience some sensitivity, especially to hot and cold. Fluoridated toothpaste or mouthrinse can help to minimize the sensitivity. We also recommend trying to avoid sticky or chewy foods for 24 hours.
It is important to continue good oral hygiene practices and schedule dental checkups and cleanings at regular intervals to help ensure long-lasting results of your CEREC crown.
One of the most beneficial parts of a CEREC crown is that it looks and feels like a real tooth. Our dentist always chooses ceramic material that matches your tooth’s color. With the 3D imaging technology, our team accurately fits the crown to your bite and gum line. The ceramic material is matched to your tooth’s color and the 3D imaging technology accurately fits the crown to your bite and gum line. The CEREC crown process is typically more comfortable for patients and easier to fit into your schedule with just one appointment.
No goopy impressions, No temporary restorations, no more waiting weeks to get your final restoration.
Typical Cost of Dental crowns procedure
A CEREC crown costs the same as traditional crowns, but requires one less visit. A CEREC crown is covered by dental insurance, but the level will depend on your insurance plan benefits. As a courtesy, our office can contact your insurance company to inquire if this procedure is covered within their policy. For those without insurance, payment options can be discussed during the consultation with Dr. Wells.
