Cerec Same Day Crowns

In the past, getting a new crown meant a couple of visits to the dentist as well as having to wait a week or two for it to arrive back from the lab. CEREC crowns can be made and fitted in one visit, which means you can be flashing that million-dollar smile the same day.

Talking about a million-dollar smile, a CEREC crown is far more affordable than traditional crowns. Fewer visits to the dentist are needed, and costly laboratory services are taken out of the equation. The state-of-the-art technology also ensures the crown will fit perfectly the first time around, which means no follow-up visits and additional expenses.

In the past dentists used a putty-like substance to create an impression of your teeth. This was then sent to the laboratory, where a dental technician would make up your crown. With a CEREC crown, the possibility of any human errors being made is almost completely eliminated, which means your new tooth is likely to fit perfectly the first time.

Let’s face it, one of the biggest disadvantages when it came to the old school process was the temporary crown. Not only did it look awful, you would also have to be incredibly careful with what you ate. With CEREC same day crowns you can be chewing on that juicy piece of steak a lot sooner.

I love that pink glop dentists use to make a mold of my teeth, said no one ever.  Not only is it yucky, it is also one of the major causes of discomfort when getting a crown made. But not when you choose a CEREC crown. State-of-the-art technology is used to create an impression of your teeth, which is a lot less invasive and as far as we’re concerned one of the biggest benefits.

Yup, if  quick and easy is on your list of priorities, then CEREC crowns are the way to go. In just one day, your dentist is able to render a 3D model, which is then uploaded and sent to a milling machine—while you’re sitting in the dentist’s chair. The crown is fitted, and if any adjustments are needed, they’re done right there, without you having to make umpteen appointments.

If you think CEREC crowns are less durable or not as good as traditional crowns, we’re here to let you know that this is not the case. They are made from high-quality ceramic resin that, with the right care and maintenance, will last as long as those crowns made in a laboratory.

We love that CEREC crowns look completely natural compared to crowns as we know them. This is because in the past they were made using gold or porcelain, which was then bound to a metal frame. This process affected the finished product, leaving you with unnatural looking teeth. CEREC crowns, on the other hand, are made using porcelain that reflects the light as it should which means a more natural looking smile. Also, you can tweak the color of the crown to suit the rest of your teeth, which is a huge plus.

It is important that your dentist keeps the remaining tooth as healthy as possible, which is why the crown should fit as accurately as possible. A bad fitting crown will also affect your bite, which can lead to a number of issues down the line. The precision of the technology used when creating your new crown tooth plays a major role, which is why more people are choosing to go this route.

For us, it’s a no-brainer. CEREC crowns are convenient and cost-effective, which means you save time and money. They are also durable and resilient, which means your dentist can save your smile with a same-day crown that isn’t only accurate, but it’s also far more natural looking.
