What Are CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?
CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics—a fancy/technical term saying that our team can repair a decayed or damaged tooth in a single appointment. With this machine, your dentist can take digital impressions of your smile to specifically design your custom porcelain dental crowns. This means we won’t have to use uncomfortable or messy putty, and you can be sure to receive much more accurate results that’ll match the rest of your natural pearly whites.
The Process of Getting CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Our team will first numb your mouth with local anesthetics and prepare your tooth to make room for your future dental crown. Afterward, we’ll take digital impressions and use them to develop a 3D print of your affected tooth. Then we’ll take these designs to our in-house milling machine to construct your restoration with a small block of dental porcelain.
Dr. Palmer will verify that your crown is specifically matched with the rest of your smile and that you’re satisfied with the results before permanently bonding it to your tooth. He’ll double-check that it fits properly and that your bite is comfortable. The best part: the entire process should only take around 40 minutes to complete your new restoration!
