CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) same day crowns are a breakthrough in dental technology, offering a fast and effective solution for restoring damaged teeth.

This innovative procedure uses CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology to design and mill ceramic crowns in just one visit and provide benefits including:

• Efficiency: CEREC eliminates the need for multiple appointments, providing a complete crown fabrication and placement process in just a few hours.
  
• Precision: Digital impressions taken with CEREC technology result in highly accurate and well-fitting crowns.
  
• Durability: Made from high-quality ceramic, CEREC crowns are durable and designed to match the natural color of your teeth.
  
• Comfort: The process requires less time with temporary crowns and reduces the discomfort associated with traditional crown procedures.

Comparing CEREC Crowns with Traditional Crowns

CEREC same day crowns represent a significant advancement in dental technology, offering several benefits over traditional crowns:

• Time Efficiency: While traditional crowns typically require at least two visits with a waiting period in between, CEREC crowns are designed, created, and placed in a single appointment, saving patients time and inconvenience.
  
• Digital Precision: CEREC uses digital scanning to create a 3D model of the tooth, eliminating the need for physical impressions, which can be uncomfortable for some patients. This digital model helps in crafting a crown with a precise fit and minimal adjustment.
  
• No Temporary Crowns: Traditional crown procedures often require wearing a temporary crown between appointments. CEREC eliminates this need, reducing the potential for discomfort and emergency visits for temporary crown issues.
  
• Material and Aesthetics: Both CEREC and traditional crowns use high-quality ceramic materials; however, CEREC's ability to complete the crown in one visit can result in a better color match to the surrounding teeth as the color adjustment is made in real-time.

The CEREC Crown Process: From Digital Scan to Final Placement

Our team utilizes CEREC’s advanced technology to ensure a smooth and precise crown creation process through these steps:

1. Digital Scanning: A detailed 3D image of your tooth is captured, eliminating the need for traditional dental impressions and providing unparalleled precision in crown design and manufacturing, ensuring each crown is a perfect fit!
   
2. Design and Milling: The crown is designed on-site to fit your tooth perfectly. The CEREC milling unit then crafts the crown from a ceramic block in a color matched to your teeth. CEREC crowns are made from high-grade ceramic at our in-house lab, offering strength and a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your smile.
   
3. Fitting and Adjustment: The crown is tried in your mouth for fit and comfort, with any necessary adjustments made immediately.
   
4. Bonding: Once the crown fits perfectly, it is bonded to your tooth, restoring full function and appearance in a single visit.

Care and Maintenance of CEREC Crowns

Maintaining CEREC crowns to ensure their longevity involves straightforward but important steps:

• Regular Oral Hygiene: Like natural teeth, CEREC crowns require regular brushing and flossing. Pay special attention to the area where the crown meets the gum line to prevent plaque buildup and gum disease.
  
• Dental Check-ups: Routine dental visits are essential for checking the condition of the crown and the overall health of your mouth. Dentists can spot and address any issues before they become significant problems.
  
• Avoid Hard Foods: Although CEREC crowns are durable, avoiding excessively hard or sticky foods can prevent damage to the ceramic material.
  
• Night Guards for Grinders: If you grind your teeth at night, consider a night guard to protect both your natural teeth and crowns from excessive wear.
