What Are CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?

CEREC same-day dental crowns are those created in-house as opposed to an outside dental lab. Using advanced technology and a milling unit, dentists can capture impressions, make adjustments, and fabricate a ceramic crown all in a single appointment. This not only reduces the number of times you must visit the dentist’s office, but it also allows for faster results.

By using CEREC (chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics) same-day crowns, we can ensure optimal durability, aesthetics, and lifespan, as these restorations are just as effective and natural-looking as those created in a lab.

The Process of Getting CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Dr. Jenkins will begin by providing local anesthesia to numb your mouth so that he can begin to clean and prepare your cracked tooth for your new crown. Once it is altered and appropriately shaped, he will take a digital impression, which will create a 3D model of your tooth. Using CAD/CAM technology, he will begin to fabricate the crown virtually, designing it so that it fits over the area correctly and blends in with your existing smile.

When finished, he will transfer the image to an in-house milling unit and place a single block of ceramic in the machine. Your new crown will then be crafted while you wait. Once it is ready, Dr. Jenkins will examine the restoration before securing it over your tooth. He will check the fit and color before giving your teeth a final polish.

  • The use of digital impressions to create a mess-free experience for patients
