At Pacific Coast Dental, we offer numerous dental crown restorations that help shore up and otherwise save damaged teeth before they are extracted. But if you want a new dental crown designed, created, and placed during one appointment, you've come to the right place.
Our investment in leading-edge dental technology includes the tools necessary for CEREC same-day dental crowns and other restorations. CEREC stands for Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics and empowers our Pacifica dental office to build dental crowns end-to-end without sending anything to an outside dental lab. Your permanent crown can be made while you wait.
Why We Need Dental Crowns to Restore Teeth
Teeth suffer damage from several sources, but the most common is everyday tooth decay. The bacteria that cause plaque and other accumulations feed on food debris and produce two things: an acidic compound that wears tooth enamel and more bacteria. As this process repeats, pits and holes form in your teeth that compromise their strength and stability.
If we can't repair your tooth with a targeted restoration like a dental filling, an inlay, or an onlay, then we can secure your entire tooth with a dental crown. As a complete tooth cover, a dental crown can protect your tooth remnants, restoring their function while maintaining a natural appearance.
To learn more about how a dental crown might save one of your teeth, we encourage you to call our dental office and schedule an appointment.
