What is the CEREC same day crown procedure?
- First, your specialist will work with you to determine the appropriate treatment. We will then prepare the tooth for the restoration by removing decay and damaged material.
- Next, we’ll take an optical impression of the prepared tooth. This procedure can be done very efficiently using an oral camera.
- The images will then be made into 3D virtual models using the CEREC dental crown software.
- The 3D image will then be converted into a real-life, natural-looking, tooth-colored ceramic restoration in the CEREC dental crown milling station.
- Lastly, we’ll fit the restoration into your mouth securely and with a perfect bite using a special bonding dental cement.
- Beautiful restorations that look and feel natural.
CEREC® is a highly reliable, state-of-the-art technology used to create beautiful and natural-looking tooth restorations such as crowns, veneers, onlays, and bridges in a single visit. - Your restoration in just one appointment.
With CEREC®, we are able to produce your restoration right in the office in less than one hour. There is no need for impressions and you won’t have to wear temporary products while your permanent restoration is outsourced. - The process is digital.
The CEREC dental crown process relies on digital imaging, rather than traditional, somewhat unpleasant dental impressions, to accurately determine the specifications of the restoration. - Restorations are made from the highest quality porcelain.
Milling restorations from a single block of ceramic porcelain makes them durable and resistant to cracks and flaws when chewing and biting. Restorations are anti-abrasive, plaque-resistant and respond like your natural teeth to changes in temperature. Also, this high-quality material is personally selected to match the natural color of your teeth. - Recovery time is faster.
By restoring a tooth immediately after an invasive treatment, you’ll experience less irritation, the tooth structure is maintained, and there’s less chance of infection.
The CEREC® Acquisition Unit – is a medical grade computer and specifically-designed oral camera. We first take a digital picture of your tooth, in lieu of traditional impressions. The computer and CEREC® 3D software then instantly converts the digital image to a 3D virtual model. We can then work together to design the perfect restoration (i.e. crown, inlay/onlay, veneer).
The CEREC® Milling Unit – We will select a ceramic block that perfectly matches the shade of your teeth and insert it into the milling unit. Then, data from the acquisition unit is sent and the block is carved to the exact shape and dimensions pre-selected for your restoration. Finally, the finished product is polished and fitted.
