Quality, Custom-Made CEREC Crowns in a Single Hour

When a tooth becomes damaged, whether by decay or an injury, it needs to be repaired. In many cases that’s done with a dental crown. During a crown procedure, Dr. Folck or Dr. Santos will cover (or cap) your damaged tooth with a custom-made restoration that resembles the tooth they’re treating.

The goal with a crown is to restore your smile’s appearance and functionality for both the short and long term. In the short term, you’re free from the discomfort that comes with a damaged tooth; in the long term, the supportive root underneath your tooth is preserved, ensuring that your jaw stays strong. Losing a tooth, and the root underneath it, can cause the jaw to weaken and can put otherwise healthy teeth in danger of becoming lost as well. The idea behind capping a tooth with a crown is that the entire tooth is saved, and functionality and appearance are restored as well.

Traditional crowns take at least two appointments to put in place. CEREC crowns from Smile by Design take just a single appointment. In just one visit, Dr. Folck or Dr. Santos will assess your health, design your crown, and use their CEREC machine to mill a high-quality, porcelain restoration while you wait comfortably in our Virginia Beach dental office. Once your brand new CEREC crown has been completed and attached, you can leave our office feeling better about your oral health and about how you look.
