Advantages of CEREC Same-Day Crowns
CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, has redefined what’s possible in dental restoration. With this cutting-edge system, patients can walk into Baker & Graham Family Dentistry with a damaged tooth and leave with a fully restored, natural-looking crown in a single visit. This innovative approach to dental crowns saves time and offers many other benefits that traditional crown procedures cannot match.
- Time: CEREC technology allows for same-day dental restorations, eliminating multiple appointments and providing quick and convenient solutions for patients.
- Comfort: With CEREC, patients experience enhanced comfort as the digital scanning process eliminates the need for traditional impressions, making the overall experience more pleasant and less invasive.
- Aesthetics: CEREC restorations, often made from high-quality ceramics, offer excellent aesthetic outcomes. The materials used closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural look.
- Strength: CEREC restorations, particularly those made from ceramics, boast impressive strength and durability. They can withstand the forces of normal chewing and biting, ensuring a long-lasting solution for dental restorations.
- Fillings: CEREC technology enables the creation of custom-fit ceramic fillings in a single visit, offering a strong and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional amalgam fillings while preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
The CEREC Same-Day Crowns Process
Understanding the procedural aspect of CEREC same-day crowns can demystify the process and showcase the efficiency and technology behind this innovative dental technique.
- Evaluation: Upon evaluation, if a CEREC crown is deemed suitable, Dr. Baker, Jr. or Dr. Graham will begin by preparing the tooth, just like with a traditional crown.
- Imaging: Next, instead of taking impressions, a specialized digital scanner is used to capture a highly detailed 3D image of the tooth and the surrounding area.
- Designing and Creation: This scan will transfer to a computer screen, where Dr. Baker, Jr. or Dr. Graham prepares the crown with precision software. Once we finalize the design, we will send the data to an in-office milling unit, which crafts the crown from a ceramic block in a few minutes.
- Placement: The final step is the placement of the crown, where any necessary adjustments are made to ensure a perfect fit and bite alignment.
