What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a cap that completely covers your natural tooth, protecting and strengthening it.
Here are some of the reasons you may need a dental crown:
- To protect a damaged or weakened tooth
- To restore a broken tooth
- To provide support after root canal therapy
- To support a large cavity
- To hold a dental bridge in place
- To complete a dental implant procedure
- To cover discoloration or other cosmetic issues
What Is a CEREC Same-Day Crown?
We use computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to create and fit a dental crown in a single visit to our Irvine dental office. Instead of placing a temporary crown and waiting for the laboratory to create your restoration, our CEREC 3-D milling unit creates your custom crown while you wait comfortably in your treatment room.
Why Choose CEREC Dental Crowns in Irvine?
Choosing CEREC restorations is one of the best ways to restore one or more teeth. Our same-day crowns offer numerous benefits to your smile, including the following:
Efficiency
Because we can fabricate and place your dental crown in a single visit to our Irvine dental office, you won’t have to worry about trying to schedule multiple appointments.
Comfort
We use digital scanning technology instead of goopy, messy impression materials. This makes your treatment more comfortable, especially if you have a strong gag reflex.
Precision
Our advanced technology enables us to customize your dental crown to fit perfectly and blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. No one will know you have a crown!
The Procedure: What to Expect
CEREC same-day crowns are a precise and efficient way to restore your tooth, eliminating the need for multiple dental visits or a temporary restoration.
Here’s what you can expect from this straightforward procedure:
- We’ll prepare your tooth for the new dental crown.
- Using a digital scanner, we’ll create a 3-D image of your tooth.
- Our CAD software will use these images to design your custom crown.
- The design is sent to the CEREC milling unit. Your dental crown will be milled from a solid block of ceramic.
- We will check the fit and secure your new crown in place.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are CEREC crowns as durable as traditional 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.
