What are Same-Day Crowns?
CEREC same-day crowns are a revolutionary dental technology that allows our skilled dentists to design, create, and place custom-fitted, high-quality crowns in a single visit. This innovative approach uses advanced CAD/CAM technology to save you time and ensure a comfortable, seamless experience while restoring the strength and beauty of your smile.
The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Convenience
With same-day crowns, you can achieve a fully restored tooth in just one appointment, eliminating the need for multiple visits and temporary crowns.
Precision
Our advanced CEREC technology captures precise digital impressions of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit and comfortable feel for your new crown.
Durability
Same-day crowns are crafted from high-quality, durable ceramic materials that closely resemble the appearance and strength of natural teeth, providing long-lasting results.
The Same-Day Crown Treatment Process
Digital Impressions
To begin, our team uses a state-of-the-art digital scanner to capture highly accurate, 3D impressions of your tooth, eliminating the need for messy, traditional impressions
Design and Milling
Using advanced CEREC software, your dentist uses your digital scans to design your custom crown, and sends the data to our in-office milling machine, which precisely crafts your restoration from a solid block of ceramic.
Placement and Adjustments
Once your crown is ready, your dentist carefully places it on your prepared tooth, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite. The crown is then permanently bonded in place, and you leave our office with a fully restored, beautiful smile.
