That said, what if you want to learn more about them before you fully commit? There&#8217;s no need to panic over the issue; your Vancouver dental practice will gladly address it. Just keep reading to learn four typical questions about CEREC crowns and their respective answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are CEREC Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before anything else, you likely want to know what CEREC crowns are. None of the other facts will make sense without the right definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEREC crowns (per their name) are those made with CEREC software. Unlike normal kinds, they\u2019re designed and milled at the treating dentist\u2019s office. A practice will use CEREC machines to design the caps around precise digital impressions of your teeth. That way, each crown will fit its intended tooth just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Involved in the CEREC Process?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEREC crown process often sticks to the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The treating dentist will scan your mouth to capture digital impressions of your teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the impressions are taken, the dentist will upload them to digitally design your crown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The final digital design file will be sent to an in-office CEREC milling machine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your dentist\u2019s CEREC milling machine will mill the crown out of a block of ceramic or porcelain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The final crown will be placed in an in-office speed kiln, which will harden the cap and finalize its shade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Following last-minute changes, the dentist will carefully cement the crown to your tooth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who are the Best Candidates for CEREC Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As great as they may sound, you could wonder if you even qualify for CEREC crowns. Don\u2019t the caps have certain requirements or suit certain people best?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best candidates for CEREC crowns are those who prefer a faster treatment. After all, the CEREC process can design, mill, and place a crown in a one-hour visit. This timeline is much quicker than the one for traditional crowns, which require several appointments. You could wrap up your care much sooner with CEREC software at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is CEREC Technology Safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental crown\u2019s convenience shouldn\u2019t come at the cost of its safety. So, you may find yourself asking if CEREC technology is even safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that CEREC technology is safe for your crown and smile. Because it relies on advanced software, it\u2019ll design and mill your prosthetic without issues. The material it mills is also biocompatible and won\u2019t cause any oral health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have other questions about CEREC crowns? If so, please consult your dental provider; they\u2019ll tell you all about the treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salmoncreekdentistry.com\/\">Salmon Creek Complete Dentistry<\/a> is based in Vancouver, WA.
