Traditionally crowns take two or more weeks to make, but CEREC crowns are made and fitted on the same day. Five benefits of these crowns include:
- Treatment is minimally invasive as there is no need for an ordinary tray impression. Instead, we take a highly accurate digital scan of your teeth using a tiny camera. The process is far more comfortable, and especially for anyone with a strong gag reflex.
- Same day crowns fit more precisely because we use digital technology. A precision fitted crown protects the tooth underneath more effectively, sealing the tooth and preventing harmful bacteria from causing infection and decay.
- You spend less time in the dental chair because we can make and fit your crown during a single appointment. Therefore, there is no need to take time out of your busy schedule to make a second appointment.
- Usually, you need to wear a temporary crown for two weeks, but there is no need for a same-day crown.
- CEREC crowns are made from durable, long-lasting porcelain, providing you with a restoration that looks and feels natural. With the proper care, you should enjoy your CEREC crown for years to come. A good oral care routine combined with professional check-ups and cleanings will help prolong its life.
