FAQ
What are CEREC same-day crowns and how do they work?
CEREC same-day crowns are custom dental crowns designed, fabricated and placed in a single visit. Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, a 3D scan of your tooth is created, allowing the precise design of your crown. The crown is milled from a durable ceramic block right in the office. Once ready, it is bonded to your tooth, restoring its function and appearance in just a few hours.
What are the benefits of CEREC same-day crowns compared to traditional crowns?
CEREC same-day crowns save time by eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns. The crowns are made from high-quality ceramic, offering a natural appearance and long-lasting durability. With digital impressions, there is no need for messy molds, ensuring a more comfortable experience. Additionally, the precise design ensures a perfect fit, reducing the need for future adjustments or replacements.
How long do CEREC same-day crowns last?
CEREC crowns are made from durable, high-quality ceramic designed to withstand daily wear and tear. With proper care, they can last 10 to 15 years or more. Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects and attending regular dental checkups can help extend the life of your crown, ensuring long-term protection for your tooth.
Is the process for getting a CEREC same-day crown painful?
The process for getting a CEREC same-day crown is minimally invasive and generally pain-free. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort while the tooth is prepared. Since the entire procedure is completed in one visit, there is no need for temporary crowns, which can sometimes cause discomfort. Patients often find the streamlined process and advanced technology to be a much more pleasant experience than traditional crown procedures.
