Enjoy The Simplicity and Convenience of CEREC Same-day Crowns
Do you dread traditional dental crowns because of a protracted procedure? Heritage Dental presents CEREC same-day crowns for patients with significantly damaged teeth. Dr. Beth Skovron can examine your tooth, design, fabricate, and place your dental crown in a single appointment! There are no multiple dental trips, and you don’t need to “baby” a temporary crown. Visit our Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, office to learn more about same-day dental crowns.
What are CEREC dental crowns?
CEREC, short for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, uses computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to design and fabricate dental crowns. Because everything happens in-house, including milling, we can complete the entire dental crown procedure within hours. That means you could damage a tooth in the morning and leave our office with a fully restored smile by evening!
What does the process involve?
Dr. Skovron will examine your tooth to determine its eligibility for a crown. The dentist will prepare the tooth by reshaping the enamel if it is. Any damaged or decayed areas will be removed to leave a clean, healthy surface.
Then, we’ll take digital impressions of your tooth and use CAD software to design your crown. Once we are satisfied with the crown design, we’ll feed it into the milling unit in our office. This milling machine carves out your bespoke crown from a strong ceramic block that closely matches the shade of your natural teeth.
We’ll examine the newly fabricated crown and make a few adjustments to match the exact specifications of your tooth. Finally, we’ll cement your crown to your tooth, and you can leave our office with a brand-new, functional smile.
What are the benefits of CEREC dental crowns?
Same-day dental crowns offer several benefits, including:
- Convenience: This is a big one. Patients no longer have to wait weeks or months to restore their damaged teeth with dental crowns. Single-visit crowns are completed in hours, allowing us to restore your smile without disrupting your busy schedule.
- No temporaries: One drawback of traditional crowns is that patients have to wear temporary crowns for weeks as they wait for their permanent crowns. Provisional crowns don’t fit well and look unnatural. With same-day crowns, you won’t experience the inconvenience of temporaries because you leave the office with a custom, permanent crown.
- Looks natural: Your CEREC crown matches the exact specifications of your teeth for lifelike outcomes.
- Comfort: Traditional crowns require biting into a tray of sticky, gooey material for several minutes to take manual impressions—it’s uncomfortable and messy, not to mention the unpleasant taste. For CEREC crowns, we take impressions with a wand-like, contactless device—it’s more comfortable and doesn’t choke or gag.
- Precision: CEREC crowns are crafted with exceptional precision using advanced CAD/CAM technology. Digital impressions capture even the smallest details of your tooth, ensuring a snug fit and optimal bite alignment.
