What Are CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?
The purpose of a dental crown is to cover the entire portion of a tooth that is visible above the gumline. Its job is to strengthen the tooth and allow it to function normally. Traditionally, crowns are created via a multi-appointment process that requires your dentist to communicate closely with a local dental laboratory.
CEREC crowns are different. CEREC is an acronym that stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. That sounds like quite a mouthful, but the basic concept is simple. We have advanced technology in our office that allows us to scan your teeth and use an advanced ceramic milling machine to create your crown in just a single appointment.
The Process of Getting a CEREC Same-Day Dental Crown
If you need a dental crown, we will start the process by preparing your tooth. Usually, this involves removing a portion of its enamel so that it will fit well beneath its restoration. Then, we will use a digital scanner to capture an impression of your teeth, which will then be transferred to our advanced software system. The impression will serve as the basis for designing your crown.
After your dentist inputs the necessary information into our computer system, the design for your restoration will be sent to our in-house milling unit, which will create your crown out of a single block of dental-grade porcelain. Once the crown is ready, we will verify that it fits perfectly before we send you home to enjoy your restored smile.
Benefits of CEREC Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns
CEREC crowns offer some outstanding benefits:
- You will only need to make one trip to our dental office.
- No temporary crown. Temporary crowns are not particularly strong, and they are prone to falling off. No temporary crowns are necessary with the CEREC process.
- No messy manual impressions. Traditional crowns often require the use of manual impressions, which can be messy and uncomfortable. CEREC technology uses digital impressions instead.
- Beautiful results. CEREC crowns are constructed out of lifelike materials that blend in beautifully with the surrounding dentition.
- CEREC crowns can last for a decade or longer.
- Cost-effectiveness. CEREC crowns usually cost about the same amount as traditional crowns.
