Benefits of Choosing CEREC Same-Day Crowns

CEREC same-day crowns are one of the many dental restorations available at our Santee, CA, dental practice. CEREC crowns possess several benefits over traditional crowns. Find out if CEREC crowns are right for you!

Same-day Procedure

Getting a same-day crown at your dentist’s office means you don’t have to wait several weeks for the lab to create the restoration for you, and you won’t have to wear a temporary crown in the meantime. Instead, your dental crown will be custom-crafted right there in the dentist’s chair while you wait! That also means you can see the crown in place so you know how it will look when it’s done.

No Messy Impressions Needed

There’s no need for a messy impression or temporary crown, you get to skip all of that uncomfortable goop and the temporary crown poking around inside your mouth. Instead, you’ll simply sit back and relax while your restorative treatment is completed in just a couple short hours. You’ll receive exceptional results with a new tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth. That’s the kind of care you’ll find at our office!

No Temporary Crowns Needed

With traditional dental crowns, patients must wear a temporary crown while they wait for the permanent one to be made by a dental laboratory. Then, the patient has to return to the dental office to receive the finished restoration. Thanks to CEREC technology, our team can design, create, and place a custom restoration in just one visit! Patients no longer have to wear an uncomfortable temporary crown or wait weeks for a permanent restoration; instead, they can have their smile restored the same day that they come to our practice!

Natural Looking Results

When patients need a crown, the typical approach has been to design a custom mold and use a dental lab to make the crown. It’s certainly an effective approach, but it requires multiple appointments that can take several weeks to complete. CEREC same-day crowns are different because they use advanced 3D scanning technology to create a crown that perfectly matches the size, shape, and color of the patient’s original tooth. The restoration is then manufactured on-site in about an hour. Once it’s ready, the patient can immediately be fitted and have the final crown placed without additional wait time. This not only makes the crown more convenient for the patient but also makes it more affordable as well.
