What are CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?
Similar to traditional dental crowns, CEREC same-day restorations are designed to help protect and improve the strength/function of a tooth that’s been moderately decayed or damaged. By covering the top surface above the gumline, you’ll be able to use your tooth without worrying much about further damage or sensitivity in the future.
However, instead of needing multiple appointments to construct your restoration, CEREC crowns can be created on the same day of your initial visit! Our team can use an in-office milling machine to develop your crown(s) while still using high-quality porcelain, Emax, or zirconia material that can provide long-lasting, lifelike, and durable results.
The Process of Getting a CEREC Same-Day Dental Crown
To create your CEREC dental crowns, our team will typically begin by evaluating your mouth to see if you’re free of any underlying problems like gum disease that could be problematic later on. Once we’ve addressed any oral health issues, we can begin by preparing your affected tooth by reshaping the enamel so there’s room for your crown. We’ll scan your tooth to make digital impressions and send them to our CEREC milling unit to construct your dental cap.
After finishing construction, we’ll confirm that the results are correct and satisfactory before permanently cementing them to your tooth. In many cases, this treatment can take a few hours, and you can expect to repair your smile after just a single visit.
The Benefits of CEREC Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns
Some of the advantages of CEREC crowns include:
- Time-Saving Treatment: You won’t need to have multiple visits for your results.
- No Messy Impressions: Instead of goopy impression materials, CEREC crowns can be developed from digital impressions.
- No Temporary Crown Needed: You won’t have to wear a temporary restoration and can simply go straight to having your permanent one.
- Similar Priced Method: CEREC crowns often cost the same as traditional ones, meaning you can pay about the same for quicker results.
