Rochester Dentist Provides Convenient Quality Restorations

ROCHESTER, Minn. - March 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Did you know that tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body? Our enamel is designed to withstand a lifetime of wear and tear and protect our teeth from cavity-causing bacteria. Despite the strength of our tooth enamel, teeth can become damaged. Whether from injury or tooth decay, cracks and chips sometimes appear on the surface of our teeth. Crowns can protect and preserve your smile. Your Rochester dentist (http://www.calcagnodds.com/), Dr. Gilly Calcagno, explains how to maintain a healthy smile with our single-visit crowns.

What are Crowns?
A crown acts as a cap that fits completely over an affected tooth. Crowns protect the remaining tooth structure and prevent further decay. If your teeth are damaged, never delay a visit to the dentist. If left untreated, the bacteria that cause tooth decay can reach the inner pulp. The pulp is a mass of living tissue in the center of your tooth. Once bacteria infect your tooth, a painful abscess can develop.

CEREC Restorations
Dr. Calcago understands the value of our patients’ time. Between work and family, who has time for multiple procedures and frequent office visits? With CEREC technology, Dr. Calcagno can create and place a custom-made crown in a single appointment, saving our patients’ time and money. CEREC crowns are crafted from durable and esthetically pleasing dental ceramic, returning your smile to full function and appearance.

Receiving Single-Visit Crowns
The first step for receiving a CEREC restoration involves a consultation with Dr. Calcagno. She will perform a thorough oral examination to ensure CEREC crowns best address your dental needs. Next, Dr. Calcagno will prepare and photograph the tooth. The photographs will be used to create a 3D image of your tooth. Dr. Calcagno will upload this image into our CEREC machine, where your new crown will be crafted to Dr. Calcagno’s exact specifications. After checking the fit, Dr. Calcagno will place the crown using a powerful bonding agent. When you step out of our practice, you will have a healthy, beautiful smile.
