All about same-day crowns
A dental crown, sometimes called a cap, fits over a tooth that has been damaged by decay, broken, root canal treated, badly stained, or misshapen. A crown looks and feels like a natural tooth, restoring both strength and function. CEREC same-day crowns require no messy impressions. We design and create your crown, then permanently bond it to your tooth in a single visit. No temporary crown needed!
What are the advantages of same-day crowns?
Before this technology existed, getting a dental crown took 2 to 3 appointments and required a notoriously uncomfortable temporary crown. Thanks to advances in dental technology, getting your crown is now easier than ever.
Same-day crowns offer the following added benefits:
- No messy impressions. We use a highly accurate and comfortable digital 3D scan.
- Complete your treatment in as little as one visit.
- Less drilling needed. We preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
Same-day crown treatment
Examining and preparing the tooth
During your appointment, your dentist will examine the tooth. If decay is present, the damaged areas are removed and cleaned. If the tooth has stress fractures, a dental crown helps protect it from breaking further along the fracture line. The natural tooth is then shaped so the crown fits comfortably in place.
Your crown custom made on site
Once your tooth is prepared, a 3D scanner captures a highly accurate digital scan, so there is no need for messy impressions or trays. This scan is used to design a digital model of your new dental crown. Your porcelain crown is then crafted on site while you wait, using our in-house milling machine.”
Placement and polish
Your new dental crown is bonded or cemented in place right away, with no second appointment or temporary crown needed. Your dentist will make any final adjustments and check how it feels to ensure a comfortable, perfect fit. After a final polish, your new crown is ready to go!
