We live in an increasingly fast-paced world, and dental emergencies can slow you down. When you have a broken tooth or undergo a root canal procedure, getting your permanent porcelain crown can take several days. However, with CEREC technology, you can leave your dentist’s office with your new crown in place. There is no need for a temporary crown or even a second visit.
CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This innovative dental technology allows dentists to create and place ceramic restorations like crowns in just one dental appointment. The CEREC system produces an extremely accurate three-dimensional (3D) image of your tooth using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer-aided design (CAD). This image is then used to design your custom crown that will seamlessly fit over your natural tooth. Once your crown is designed, an in-office machine will create the crown out of a block of ceramic.
In the past, a broken tooth would have meant going at least a few days with a gap in your smile, if not longer. With CEREC one-day dental crowns, you can restore your tooth without needing a temporary crown.
CEREC same-day crowns are made from high-quality ceramic, which looks nearly identical to your natural teeth. Equally important, this ceramic is extremely durable and strong enough to withstand the daily wear and tear of biting and chewing. The material used to make CEREC crowns is also biocompatible. This means it integrates beautifully with gum tissue, which can minimize allergic reactions and irritation.
There are many benefits to choosing same-day CEREC dental crowns, including all of these:
