One Hour Dental Crowns in Dover, NH from Dr. Ronald Henderson

Unlike many dental offices, which have their crowns created in an off-site dental laboratory, Healthy Smiles in Dover, NH offers one-hour crowns that are created right in the office.

DOVER, NH, September 17, 2012

One of the main tools used in restorative and cosmetic dentistry is the dental crown, a strong covering for a natural tooth that is custom-created to match the tooth and the patient's bite. Unlike many dental offices, which have their crowns created in an off-site dental laboratory, Healthy Smiles in Dover, NH offers one-hour crowns that are created right in the office.

When Are Dental Crowns Needed?

Crowns can be used for a variety of reasons. A tooth that is at risk for breaking, or a tooth that is crumbling, can be covered with a crown to give the tooth strength. When a tooth has significant decay and/or has a large filling that threatens the stability of the tooth, a crown may be placed to save, protect, and provide strength. For patients who get dental implants, crowns are placed on top of the implant to replace the missing tooth and enable them to chew properly. In addition, crowns are placed after a root canal, and they can also be used to improve the appearance of the tooth.

CEREC Porcelain Crowns

The crowns Dr. Ronald Henderson creates are made of porcelain materials, which are not only more attractive and natural-looking, but they also tend to be stronger and last longer.

CEREC technology consists of a milling machine and digital imaging software, allowing Dr. Henderson to do everything that would normally have to be done in a dental laboratory. The CEREC system is the latest and most advanced technology used to create dental crowns.

The digital imaging software lets Dr. Henderson create a crown that will fit and match the rest of your teeth perfectly. The milling machine creates the crown with precision. The result is a beautiful crown created in a fraction of the time it would take to have molds sent off to be created in a dental lab.

The Convenience of CEREC Crowns

Regardless of why a dental crown is needed, one thing is for sure: having to take the time to have a crown created in a dental lab adds a significant amount of time to the treatment and forces the patient to come back for an additional appointment. For busy professionals and children who should be in school, this simply isn't convenient or desirable.

At Healthy Smiles, Dr. Henderson is able to create dental crowns in his office in just one hour, meaning patients can have their crowns placed as soon as they need them. Using the advanced CEREC technology, Dr. Henderson creates beautiful, strong crowns that will protect teeth long-term.

Dr. Henderson can also use CEREC to create inlays and onlays.
