What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?

The only system in the world that allows for the creation of all-ceramic dental restorations in just ONE visit is called CEREC. The composition of CEREC closely resembles that of natural tooth structure. Less drilling is needed to accommodate the restoration since CEREC materials are chemically attached to the tooth. The tooth structure is strengthened while the treatment preserves as much of the healthy tooth tissue as feasible. 

We can complete many treatments in a single appointment. To create an exact fit for your crown, inlay, or onlay, we use digital 3D technology to take photographs of the intended placement. After that, our milling machine molds the tooth to match the contour of your other teeth for a comfortable fit.

What Are the Benefits?

The following are just a few of the benefits of CEREC same-day crowns. 

• We can complete your crown in only one appointment with CEREC, which lasts an average of an hour and a half.
• Coping with a temporary crown that can come off is no longer necessary.
• Our crowns reduce the risk of the tooth cracking.
• Our crowns have a naturally organic appearance.

How Does It Work?

We’ll take you through the following steps for your CEREC same-day crown placement.

Step 1: Digital Impressions

The first step in placing a CEREC same-day crown is to take digital impressions of your teeth. This involves using a specialized camera that captures detailed images of your teeth and gums. We then convert these images into digital models our dental team can use to create your custom crown. This process is much more comfortable than traditional impressions as it eliminates the need for messy impression materials.

Step 2: Crown Design

Using the digital models, our dental team can design your crown to fit perfectly with your restored tooth and surrounding teeth. We use sophisticated software to create a 3D model of your tooth, which we can manipulate and adjust until we get the perfect design. Our team will also ensure that the color and shape of your new crown match your natural teeth, so it’s virtually indistinguishable.

Step 3: Milling

After we finalize the crown design, our CEREC machine gets to work milling the crown from a block of ceramic material. This process takes only a few minutes and is incredibly precise. The ceramic material is chosen for its strength and durability, so you can rest assured that your new crown will last for years.

Step 4: Placement

Once the machine mills the crown, we’ll try it on your tooth to ensure it fits perfectly. We may make slight adjustments to provide a seamless fit and comprehensive coverage of your restored tooth. Once everything is perfect, we will affix the crown to your tooth using dental cement. This process is quick and painless, and you’ll leave our office with a brand-new crown, ready to return to your daily routine.

Step 5: Follow-Up Appointment

After placing your CEREC same-day crown, our team will schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure everything works correctly. We’ll check your bite and ensure that the crown feels comfortable. We’ll also provide you with instructions on how to care for your new crown so that it will last as long as possible.
