Because I had a toothache,\u00a0 I finally went. I knew my teeth weren&#8217;t in the best shape and the dentist told me I would need a tooth fixed with a root canal, along with some other cavities filled.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know if I was just overwhelmed by all the dentist was suggesting I needed done, but I swear he started talking another language. He started talking about getting a serk crown. I have looked on the internet and can&#8217;t find anything. Can you please translate? What is it and is it the best thing for a mouth like mine?<\/p>\n<p>JB in Wyoming<\/p>\n<p>Dear JB,<\/p>\n<p>We are assuming, based on the work you need done, that your dentist was recommending getting a<a href=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/gilbert-cerec-crowns.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> CEREC crown<\/a>. There certainly are words that are dentist lingo and do require some translation and CEREC crowns fit that category as they are a newer treatment option.<\/p>\n<h4>What are CEREC crowns?<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/cerec.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-783 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/cerec-232x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"CEREC machine\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/cerec-232x300-1.jpg 232w, https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/cerec.jpg 568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a>Cerec crowns are porcelain crowns that a dentist can create in the office the same day as your visit for the root canal.\u00a0The dentist uses computer technology and his expertise to make them. The dentist matches the shade of your teeth to the color of porcelain. Using the computer images of your tooth, a special machine cuts the porcelain to fit your tooth. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/dental-bonding-gilbert.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bonded<\/a> on once the root canal is finished.<\/p>\n<p>As to whether it is best for your mouth, again we are just going by your brief history, but CEREC crowns created by dentists who know what they are doing can be very successful. If they are bonded well and you don&#8217;t grind your teeth, they will last as well as other crowns. The only time CEREC crowns aren&#8217;t usually preferred is when you need a crown on a front tooth. This is for esthetic reasons. They may not look as natural as other crowns created in a lab for the front teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Since you have questions, it wouldn&#8217;t hurt to ask the dental office to see pictures of others who have had CEREC crowns placed or about the dentist&#8217;s experience.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by<a href=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Vista Dorada Dental<\/a> in Gilbert, AZ.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t visited the dentist like I should over the past ten years.
