Dental Crowns and CEREC Crowns
A Crown is placed on a teeth as a cap so that it prevents food from sticking to the teeth and causing it to decay. Crowns are also used to make broken or crooked teeth to look pleasing.
Regular Crown:
A regular porcelain crown takes two visits to the dentist. On the first visit the teeth is made small so that the crown can be placed on it and then an impression of the shape of the teeth is taken. During this visit a temporary crown is also placed on the teeth to prevent any discomfort.
After a week the actual crown is glued to the teeth with the help of dental cement.
The final tooth is made to look like the other teeth in shape and color.
The approximate cost of a dental crown in Morgan Hill is about (Porcelain Fused to Metal – PFM) US $ 1200 to US $ 1400. These PFM crowns are lab manufactured. They cannot be delivered in one sitting.
CEREC Technology:
CEREC technology uses computers to get you a prefect crown in one sitting. The patient’s teeth structure is recorded by the computer and the software creates a shape and color gradient that perfectly matches your teeth. The cost of a CEREC crown is about $850 to $1000
Morgan Hill Smiles uses CEREC technology to give you a prefect smile. We also recommend this procedure because it can be completed in one sitting and it is less drilling and less pain for the patient.
