The Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns

The clearest benefit of getting a one-visit dental crown with CEREC technology is that your smile can be restored in just one dental appointment. But CEREC restorations provide patients with many other benefits for comfortable and convenient treatment that include:

No Messy Impressions

Getting a traditional dental crown made at a lab means taking impressions of your smile with bulky trays and goopy impression paste. This process can trigger a gag reflex in some and is overall a less-than-pleasant experience. Because CEREC uses 3D imaging to provide a reproduction of your smile, there is no need to use standard impressions.

Accurate Treatment Planning

Impression trays often don’t produce precise pictures of the shape of teeth. This leaves dental lab technicians to do the best they can with limited information, which can be hit-and-miss according to the lab and the person creating the crown. With the digital model of your teeth that CEREC produces, the digital version of new crown can be created to be a precise fit for your existing teeth.

Stronger, Natural-Looking Restorations

Crowns made from pure porcelain are not only beautiful, but they prove to be extraordinarily strong. CEREC produces dental crowns that return long-lasting strength and health to smiles in need of treatment for dental decay. Pure porcelain dental crowns provide for more natural results over time, as opposed to porcelain-over-metal crowns.

No Need for Temporaries

Because CEREC crowns can be created – from treatment planning to placement – in just one dental appointment, there’s no need to put temporary restorations on teeth while crowns are being created at a dental lab over the course of two weeks. With CEREC technology, Dr. Kozelsky can completely restore a damaged tooth in as little as an hour.
