Same Day CEREC Crowns in One Visit
If you’ve ever needed a dental crown, you likely remember the traditional process—multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and a bit of a waiting game. But thanks to modern advancements in dental technology, there’s a more convenient, efficient option here at Needville Family Dentistry—CEREC same-day crowns.
CEREC is short for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. In simpler terms, it’s a system that allows dentists to create and place a high-quality ceramic crown in a single visit—right in the dental office.
How Does the CEREC Process Work?
The CEREC process starts with our team evaluating the damaged or decayed tooth. Instead of using traditional molds, we use advanced 3D imaging technology to make a digital impression. This digital scan develops a precise model of your tooth without needing messy, uncomfortable trays.
Once the digital model is complete, it’s sent to the CEREC milling unit located in the office. The machine uses high-grade ceramic to craft a custom crown that matches your natural teeth’s shape, size, and shade.
After milling, your dentist will fine-tune the crown for the perfect fit, bond it securely to your tooth, and make any final adjustments. The entire process—from scanning to placement—usually takes just a few hours, and you can walk out with your permanent crown the same day.
What Are the Benefits of CEREC for Patients?
CEREC same-day crowns offer several patient-friendly advantages:
- Time-Saving: No need for multiple visits or temporary crowns.
- Comfortable Experience: Digital impressions replace traditional molds.
- Precise Fit: 3D imaging ensures a crown tailored to your exact dental anatomy.
- Durable and Aesthetic: Made from strong ceramic that looks and feels natural.
- No Waiting Period: You leave with a fully functional, permanent crown the same day.
