What Are CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) same-day dental crowns are a modern solution that allows patients to restore their smile in just one visit, hence their nickname! Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, we can design and create a customized dental crown right here in our office, eliminating the need for messy impressions, temporary crowns, and multiple appointments spread out over weeks. These crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic to look natural and provide long-lasting strength, meaning you’re essentially getting a perfect restoration in terms of look, feel, and functionality.
The Process of Getting a CEREC Same-Day Dental Crown
After we’ve determined that a CEREC crown is needed for your smile, the process begins with us numbing your mouth to ensure your full comfort. We’ll then remove a very tiny amount of enamel on the existing tooth (as well as any compromised structure) to ensure that your new crown will fit properly, and then we’ll take a digital impression. This impression is analyzed by special computer software, and we’re able to use it to create a virtual model of your restoration, mimicking your natural tooth perfectly right down to its size, shape, and color. The design is then transmitted to our in-house milling unit that manufactures the crown in under an hour. Once it’s ready, it’s polished and adjusted as needed before it’s cemented into place—no temporary crowns necessary!
The Benefits of CEREC Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns
- Faster: With CEREC, you can get your custom-made restoration in just one hour as opposed to two weeks with the traditional method.
- More Comfortable:Thanks to the digital scanner, you won’t have to get an impression taken with messy, cold dental putty.
- Higher-Quality: The image taken by the scanner is much more accurate and detailed than typical impressions, meaning your restoration will fit, look, and feel better.
- Better Restorations:Each restoration created by CEREC will be carved from a single block of dental ceramic. This material is strong, durable, and can perfectly recreate the appearance and feel of a natural tooth.
