Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do you know when it is time to get a dental crown?
  1. Deep dental cavities
Tooth decay causes teeth to weaken and endangers their structure. When left untreated, tooth decay can create cavities. When the decay is deeper, the dentist needs to treat all affected areas. This weakens the structure of the dentition and leaves it vulnerable to bacteria, which could lead to the tooth needing to be extracted. A dental crown can cover the tooth and prevent the entry of new bacteria, eliminating the need to extract the tooth.
  1. Root canal treatment
The root canal is the dental treatment meant to repair and save from extraction a deeply affected tooth. Dental crowns are used to seal and restore the tooth after a root canal.
  1. Fractured or broken teeth
For deeply cracked or fractured teeth, crowns are recommended to prevent further dental damage, eliminate pain and restore the structure of the cracked tooth.
  1. Esthetics
Dental discoloration can be repaired through teeth whitening techniques. A custom dental crown can be used to restore the appearance of the natural tooth. This is especially advantageous for anterior teeth, which show when talking and smiling.

CEREC 3D has become our number one option in the reconstruction of teeth with extensive damage. The traditional solutions, amalgam or composite fillings and crowns, may not be the best options in the long run. Especially in difficult cases, the tooth needs a superior material in order to restore its strength. Therefore, we recommend CEREC 3D to repair the destroyed area of the tooth with a micrometric level of precision. Moreover, through this innovative method, we will be able to rebuild your tooth by a much less invasive method than the classic dental crowns (traditional crowns require more grinding of the tooth).

Patients who have gone through both a classic crown and a CEREC crown will always choose the latter for their subsequent procedures.

With CEREC 3D crowns, we can restore the natural beauty of a tooth in three simple steps:

  1. To make sure you feel perfectly comfortable, we will locally anesthetize the tooth with minimal or no pain at all. We then remove the old filling and any decay. With the help of CEREC 3D, we can keep intact the healthy enamel of the tooth.
  1. Using the high-performance 3D camera connected to the CEREC 3D scanner, we will take three-dimensional photos of the prepared tooth. The computer then searches a database of thousands of teeth and automatically determines what your tooth looked like when it was completely healthy. A 3D image of the tooth will appear on the screen and the doctor will accept it or make small changes.
  1. The information obtained in step 2 is transmitted wirelessly to a device that uses diamond tools to mill a ceramic block. The milling process takes about 10-15 minutes, after which the crown is glazed and pigmented so that the final appearance is as natural as possible. This reconstruction is then cemented on the tooth using the best quality dental cements.

At Pacifica Dental, the cost of a CEREC crown is between $1,400 to $1,700 depending on the difficulty of the case.
