What are the advantages of CEREC same-day dental crowns?

Restorations like dental crowns play a vital role in repairing the smile when things go wrong. Broken, chipped, and filled teeth may require special steps to protect and maintain the tooth in the smile. At Centre Place Dental, we are pleased to offer not only restorative dental crowns that look completely natural but crowns that are placed in a single appointment. CEREC same-day crowns allow patients to restore their smiles quickly and easily using today’s advanced CAD/CAM software and milling devices. Let’s learn more about the advantages of CEREC same-day crowns and what you might expect during your appointment.

What is CEREC?

Drs. Robin and Chris Post describe CEREC, an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, as the process by which long-lasting dental restorations can be made and placed in a single visit to the dental office. The technology behind CEREC involves using digital impressions, CAD/CAM software, and milling machines to create custom-made ceramic crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These restorations are completed in just one appointment instead of several and have numerous benefits.

What are the advantages of obtaining CEREC same-day porcelain crowns?

• Convenience and time-saving benefits. CEREC same-day crowns will eliminate the need for multiple dental visits, saving patients valuable time and convenience. With traditional crowns, patients have to make at least two appointments spread out over a few weeks, causing disruptions in their daily lives. CEREC technology allows for faster and more efficient treatment with just one appointment.
• Natural-looking results. CEREC crowns are created using high-quality ceramic materials that closely mimic the color, texture, and translucency of natural teeth. This allows for a seamless blend with your existing teeth, creating a natural-looking, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smile. Porcelain and ceramic are commonly used for this and other dental restorations because they mimic the look of natural tooth enamel.
• Precision fit. With CEREC technology, digital impressions are taken, ensuring a precise and accurate fit for your crown. These are done after the dentist prepares the tooth by removing a small amount of natural enamel from around the core of the tooth. This prevents any discomfort or issues with the restoration in the future.
• Durable and long-lasting repairs. CEREC crowns are fabricated from high-quality materials known for their durability and strength. With proper care, they can last for many years, making them a cost-effective option for restoring the smile when needed.
