Frequently asked questions about CEREC same-day dental crowns
If you have been advised to consider the placement of a dental crown, you may not fully understand the process. At most dental offices, the procedure for obtaining a dental crown requires several visits and about two weeks between appointments. Fortunately, the team at Avanti Dentistry in Tysons, Virginia, is excited to offer an alternative. Instead, we provide crowns in one visit with CEREC same-day dental crowns. Let’s look at what makes this method highly desirable for our patients and how it can restore the smile quickly and easily!
What are CEREC same-day dental crowns?
Our dentists at Avanti Dentistry describe CEREC crowns as a revolutionary newer technology that allows us to create and place a quality dental crown in just one visit. CEREC is the acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic and is a computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system that enables us to design, create, and place high-quality ceramic crowns on the same day.
How does the “crowns in one visit” process work?
The first step is to prepare the tooth for the dental crown with the removal of any decay or damaged areas from the natural tooth structure. Next, we will use an intraoral scanner to take digitized impressions of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions. The CEREC software will then use these digital images to create a three-dimensional model of the natural tooth used to design the crown. Once the designing portion is complete, it is digitally sent to our in-office milling machine, where a custom-fitted crown is milled from a high-quality ceramic block. The crown is polished and bonded into place over your tooth in the same appointment!
