CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Yes, CEREC crowns are crafted from a single piece of high-quality porcelain and are just as strong as all-porcelain crowns fabricated in a laboratory.
How CEREC Same-Day Crowns in Irvine Work
Same-day crowns mean you don't have to wait for your new restoration. You'll not need gooey impression materials or temporaries.
The steps:
- Your dentist prepares your tooth for crowning.
- We take digital impressions and forward them to our computer.
- The computer shares the specifications with our 3-D printer.
- After the printer produces your crown, your Irvine dentist makes final adjustments before cementing it over your tooth.
Do CEREC Crowns Look Natural?
CEREC crowns are fully customizable, so they always blend seamlessly with unrestored teeth. No one will guess you have capped teeth.
Reasons You May Need a Dental Crown
Whether it's a lab crown or a CEREC, here are the common reasons your dentist recommends crowning:
- You have a weak or at-risk tooth from injury, decay, or following a root canal infection.
- You have tooth flaws and imperfections you'd like to hide with a dental crown.
- You are getting a dental implant or bridge and need tooth crowns to complete your treatment.
