Dental crowns fix a number of cosmetic and structural dental issues, including discoloration, gaps, cracks, and crooked teeth. In the past, the procedure was complicated required two appointments with several weeks in between. However, thanks to technological advances, you can now get same-day CEREC® crowns. This means that your new teeth are designed and fitted on the same day, in as little as 2 hours, typically.
The same day CEREC® system can be used to create crowns, veneers, inlays and onlays while you wait. The process is pretty simple:
1.
We take digital images of your tooth and mouth
2.
We upload the images to the software
3.
Using CAD/CAM technology, we create a computerized image of the tooth along with the exact dimensions and blueprint for what the new restoration needs to look like.
4.
The software quickly processes the information, accounting for every detail, and makes a recommendation for the restoration.
5.
We then send the specifications to our milling machine, which etches the restoration in our office with very little need for adjustments once the crown is in place.
You’re done. It’s that easy! So what are the differences between traditional procedures and the same-day CEREC® procedure?
Time & Convenience
•
Done same-day in the dental office
•
Uses CAM/CAD technology
•
No need for a temporary; Temporary teeth are often uncomfortable and increase the likelihood of tooth decay because food gets trapped between the temporary and the tooth.
Materials/Cosmetic/Strength
•
Made only of ceramic
•
Very aesthetically pleasing and natural looking
In the end, same-day CEREC® crowns have a lot of advantages over traditional crowns, but sometimes traditional crowns have their benefits. Our doctors are happy to work with you to help you make the best decision based on your individual needs.
