Whether it's a sports injury or you're just a bit down on something hard, when you break a tooth, it’s not only painful; it's unattractive. Don’t worry though. There are a number of cosmetic dentistry procedures to repair broken teeth. Fortunately, with the help of our CEREC Machine at our Logan dentist's office, we can make a crown on the same day you come in. So we’re able to fix your broken teeth fast!
When you break a tooth, you do not want to wait to see your cosmetic dentist. Broken teeth get worse over time, causing a lot of pain and discomfort. Leaving a broken tooth untreated can also lead to a number of issues, including an infection in the tooth (pulpitis), the root (abscesses), or surrounding gums. If you ignore a broken tooth for too long, you could lose even the tooth.
When you have a broken tooth, your cosmetic dentist will start by assessing the area and making a treatment plan. If that treatment plan includes a crown, they will take a 3D image of your broken tooth and surrounding teeth using a digital scanner. Using specialized CEREC software, we design a custom crown that looks like your natural tooth. Then, the tooth is milled, which takes 15-30 minutes. Finally, we’ll bond the crown, and your broken tooth will be back to normal.
Not only can we repair your broken tooth with a CEREC crown in a single visit, but they have a number of other benefits when you break your tooth:
1. CEREC crowns look and feel just like the broken tooth you replaced.
2. When you fix a tooth with a permanent CEREC crown, you do not need a temporary crown.
3. CEREC crowns are highly durable and last for over a decade with proper care.
4. CEREC’s digital scan creates a crown that fits perfectly without messy, gross putty.
5. Your cosmetic dentist can customize the shade to match the color of your teeth exactly.
CEREC crowns save you time, money, and pain when you have a broken tooth.
If you’ve broken your tooth, do not wait any longer. You need to get it repaired before it gets worse. At our Logan office, we have a CEREC machine that makes crowns fast. We’ll assess your tooth, make a treatment plan, and restore your natural smile.
