Imagine getting a diagnosis, a treatment plan, and final dental restorations in a single appointment. How great would that be?? Thanks to CEREC®’s same-day dental crowns, we no longer have to wonder!
Made possible by advanced imaging and while-you-wait milling technology, CEREC crowns are an increasingly popular, incredibly efficient, and customizable solution for a variety of issues, including mild bite misalignment.
Let’s look at how they work their magic!
CEREC Crowns: Customized Fit for Bite Precision
One of the advantages of CEREC crowns is their ability to be customized to fit your unique bite pattern. Using 3-D imaging, CEREC technology maps out the contours of your existing teeth and bite alignment. This precise mapping allows for real-time adjustments to ensure a seamless fit within a person’s natural bite.
Limitations of CEREC Crowns for Severe Bite Issues
While CEREC crowns can correct mild to moderate misalignment, there are factors to consider before using same-day crowns to address complex bite issues. Severe misalignment may require reshaping multiple teeth, jaw repositioning, or orthodontic appliances to guide teeth into alignment. These solutions all go well beyond what a simple crown can achieve. For significant alignment problems, traditional methods or orthodontic interventions might be necessary.
Consulting with a dental professional will help determine the best approach for complex bite issues.
When to Consider Treatments Beyond CEREC
If you have extensive bite issues, your dentist may recommend solutions beyond CEREC crowns alone, such as:
- Orthodontics — Braces or clear aligners to realign teeth and jaw position.
- Occlusal adjustment — Reshaping certain teeth to improve how they fit together.
- Full mouth reconstruction — A combination of crowns, bridges, and other treatments to holistically address bite health.
These treatments, potentially combined with CEREC crowns, can help you achieve optimal bite alignment and long-term comfort.
