What are CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?
Like a traditional dental crown, a CEREC crown can be used to restore a tooth that is damaged, worn down, weakened, or decayed. However, while a traditional crown is made at a separate laboratory, a CEREC crown can be produced right here at our office thanks to state-of-the-art technology.
Our team can create a virtual impression of your tooth with the help of a digital infrared camera. Then special software can be used to determine the correct shape and size for your crown, after which a high-speed milling machine will create the restoration. This can all be done in just one visit. Note that CEREC crowns are made out of tooth-colored materials, giving them a very lifelike appearance.
The Process of Getting a CEREC Same-Day Dental Crown
Once we confirm that you’re a candidate for a CEREC same-day dental crown, we can begin the process by removing a small amount of enamel from your tooth. After that, the necessary digital impressions are taken so that the crown can be designed. The necessary information is sent to the milling machine, which can create your crown in about 20 minutes. Once it’s done, we can polish it and make any necessary last-minute adjustments before attaching it to your tooth.
The Benefits of CEREC Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns
With CEREC same-day crowns, you can enjoy the convenience of only needing to schedule a single visit to have your restoration placed. But this is far from the only advantage they have over traditional dental crowns. Here’s a look at some of their other benefits:
- They completely eliminate the need for a temporary crown.
- They don’t require us to take physical impressions with messy, bad-tasting putty.
- They can be personalized to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
- They don’t contain any metal, which means you don’t have to worry about increased sensitivity to temperature.
