While most dental crowns will last for many years, they are prone to some of the same problems that your regular teeth face. Crowns can break or get damaged just like your regular teeth. If you find that one of your crowns has become loose or has been damaged, time is of the essence. If your crown is loose, a dentist might be able to refit it. If your crown is damaged, it is probably going to need to be replaced.

Fortunately, these days, crown replacement is a relatively simple procedure. Wayzata Dental makes use of CEREC equipment. CEREC eliminates one of the major inconveniences when it comes to crowns and allows a crown to be designed and fabricated in minutes. Cerec turns what was once a lengthy procedure, that would often take at least two visits to the dentist, into a single visit. It also allows your dentist to create the perfect crown for your mouth. Three-dimensional photography equipment is used to create a precise computer model of the crown. The crown is then cut from a ceramic block using a computer based cutting tool. Once the crown is cut, it can be fit.

If you had your original crown fitted ten or fifteen years ago, chances are that it would have been a lengthy procedure. Furthermore, the crown that you got would probably not have been as precise a fit as crowns created using CEREC. Some crowns become loose because of slight imperfections in their fabrication. they were At Wayzata Dental your dentist will inform you of the best course of action in relation to your loose or damaged crown. If it fits well enough, they might be able to save it. If it doesn’t, then you can be fitted with a new one in a short amount of time.
