Dr. Daniel Vasquez may recommend a dental crown or cap to restore a decayed, damaged or cracked tooth. A crown can also be used to enhance discolored or badly shaped teeth.
At our office in Oceanside Ca. we use CEREC AC technology to fabricate porcelain crowns, which can be matched to the natural color of your teeth. CEREC uses CAD/CAM technology, which involves computer-aided design and computer aided manufacturing, to assist us in fabricating porcelain crowns in just one day.
Dr. Daniel Vasquez is able fabricate these restorations much like the traditional way, but just without the temporary restoration or second visit. After the tooth is prepared, photographs will be taken of your tooth using a sophisticated camera. Using the CAD/CAM technology mentioned above, Dr. Vasquez is then able to design and create your permanent restoration immediately in the office.
Following the procedure, proper dental hygiene, including daily brushing and flossing, is necessary to maintain healthy, bacteria-free teeth, gums and crowns. This helps in the prevention of gum disease. Given proper care, your crowns can last a lifetime.
