Rebuild Your Smile with Convenient and Comfortable CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Living with a damaged or decayed tooth can affect how you eat, speak, or smile. Traditionally, repairing a damaged tooth with dental crowns would take several dental visits over the course of two to four weeks. But thanks to CEREC technology, Travis A Bell DDS PLLC can place a permanent crown in a single visit. This state-of-the-art technology means you can damage your tooth in the morning and enjoy a brand-new, functional smile by evening!

How do CEREC same-day dental crowns work?

Traditionally, placing a dental crown requires multiple visits. First, the dentist prepares the tooth by reshaping the enamel. The doctor takes impressions of your tooth and sends the molds to an offsite dental lab to create your crown. In the meantime, the dentist would send you home with a temporary crown as you wait for a permanent crown. A provisional crown rarely fits well, so you must be careful when using your teeth. After weeks of waiting, you schedule another dental visit for crown placement.  

Traditional crowns work, but the lengthy process can be a turn-off. Now, that has all changed with CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology. After tooth preparation, the dentist uses a digital scanner to take precise impressions of your tooth. Then, we use the computer-aided design (CAD) unit to design your crown, ensuring it matches the exact specifications of your tooth. 

The digital version of your crown is sent to one of our in-house milling machines, which fabricates your crown within minutes. Once milled, the crown is polished and secured to your tooth with durable adhesives. That’s it! The process is complete, painless, and you can go home with a beautiful, functional smile with no restrictions.

What are the benefits of CEREC crowns over traditional crowns?

Single-visit crowns offer several benefits over their traditional counterparts. Here are the key benefits of CEREC crowns.

  • Single-visit convenience: CEREC technology lets us crown your smile in a single appointment, saving you time. A same-day crown means you can restore your smile without interrupting your life at school or work.
  • No temporary crowns: One of the biggest drawbacks of traditional crowns is the need to wear a temporary crown. CEREC crowns allow you to leave our office with a customized, permanent crown. There’s no need to “baby” a provisional restoration as you wait for the permanent one.
  • Digital impressions: Gone are the days when taking bite impressions involved biting into a tray of gooey material. CEREC crowns use a wand-like scanner to take impressions of your tooth. A digital scanner is more comfortable, quicker, and more accurate than goop-based impressions.
  • Custom fit and precision: Digital scans and CAD/CAM technology provide an extremely high-level of precision, ensuring your dental crown fits snugly over your tooth.
  • Aesthetically appealing: The materials used for CEREC crowns mimic the color, translucency physical properties of your natural teeth, providing a seamless, life-like appearance for many years to come.
