Porcelain crowns serve a restorative purpose and a cosmetic purpose. If the structure of your natural tooth is compromised enough that it jeopardizes the health of your tooth roots, a porcelain crown can be placed on top of your tooth. This will create elegant teeth as well as protect the function of the bite surface.
CEREC ONE-VISIT RESTORATIONS are a new technological innovation that is available at Bayview Village Dental Associates. CEREC uses "Computer-assisted design and Computer-assisted manufacturing" or "CAD-CAM" Technology to mill a porcelain restoration that precisely fits your tooth, thus eliminating the laboratory step in manufacturing the crown. These CEREC restorations are milled out of pure ceramic in just one appointment while you wait.
