What is a CEREC® Same-Day Crown? CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a state-of-the-art technology that allows us to design, fabricate, and place ceramic restorations in just one visit. This means you can receive a custom-fitted, durable, and aesthetically pleasing crown without the traditional wait associated with dental crowns.
Benefits of CEREC® Same-Day Crowns:
- Time-Saving: Complete the entire process in a single visit—no need for temporaries or follow-up appointments.
- High-Quality Material: Crafted from high-quality ceramic, CEREC® crowns are durable and designed to match the natural color of your teeth.
- Comfort and Convenience: Digital impressions are more comfortable than traditional putty impressions, and the quick turnaround minimizes your time in the dental chair.
- Precise Fit: Advanced digital technology ensures a precise fit, reducing the risk of future dental issues.
The Procedure: Receiving a CEREC® crown is a straightforward and efficient process:
- Digital Impressions: First, we’ll take a digital image of your mouth using a special camera. This image is then converted into a 3D model on the CEREC® computer.
- Design and Fabrication: Using the CEREC® software, we design your restoration to fit perfectly. The design is then sent to our in-office milling machine, which carves your crown from a ceramic block in the exact shade of your natural teeth.
- Placement: Once milled, the crown is tried in your mouth to ensure a perfect fit and bite. It’s then polished and bonded to your tooth, all within the same visit!
Caring for Your Same-Day Crown: CEREC® crowns require the same care as your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are essential to maintain your oral health and ensure the longevity of your crown.
