When a tooth is damaged or weakened, a dental crown can restore its strength and appearance. Traditionally, receiving a crown required multiple dental visits over several weeks. However, thanks to CEREC® same-day crowns, a dramatically quicker solution is available.
By utilizing advanced technology, CEREC allows patients to receive high-quality, custom-fitted crowns in a single appointment. If you need a dental crown and prefer to avoid the hassle of temporary restorations and multiple appointments, CEREC same-day crowns may be perfect for you!
Common Reasons Patients Need a Crown
There are numerous reasons why an individual might need a dental crown. The most common of these instances include:
- Severe dental decay that can’t be repaired with a filling
- Cracking or breakage that requires extra support
- Weakened natural tooth structure due to large dental fillings
- Protection for root canal-treated teeth
- Covering misshapen or discolored teeth for aesthetic improvement
How Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns Possible?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This revolutionary dental technology uses digital impressions and computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to design and create durable ceramic crowns in just one visit. Unlike traditional crowns, which depend on an external dental lab, CEREC crowns are designed, milled, and placed right in the dentist’s office!
