CEREC Same-Day Crowns Give You Faster Results

Do you suffer from oral health issues and need a dental crown? Crowns are a simple and effective solution for various problems. In the past, you would have to wait a couple of weeks for them to be made. With CEREC technology, you can get your dental crown in one office visit to your dentist at Skyview Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Aurora, ON.

What are dental crowns?

Crowns are customized caps that fit over a damaged or weakened tooth. They are recommended if the tooth has been affected by a cavity, decay, or injury but is not severely damaged to the point of extraction. Dental crowns are designed to protect and strengthen the tooth, and they can be made to match the natural colour of your other teeth.

The benefit of CEREC same-day crowns

Traditional dental crown placement involved preparing the site, including a root canal or any other necessary treatment. Your dentist may have needed to grind down or reshape the tooth so the crown could fit over it.  Once the site had been prepped, your dentist would take an impression and send the mould to the lab where your custom tooth would be crafted. In the meantime,  a temporary crown was placed over your tooth to protect it. About two weeks later, you returned for another visit to have the temporary crown removed and the permanent one placed.

CEREC same-day crowns eliminate all that bother. Your dentist uses an intraoral camera to take photos and create a digital impression of your teeth. The images are sent to a special machine in the office, where your crown is milled onsite while you wait. Once ready, the crown is cemented into place.
