Losing a dental crown can be extremely concerning. Whether it pops off while you’re eating, brushing, or simply out of the blue, a missing crown leaves your tooth vulnerable to damage and discomfort.
Fortunately, with modern advancements in dentistry, you no longer have to wait days or even weeks to restore your smile. The state-of-the-art technology offered at Advanced Care Dentistry allows us to scan, design, and place a durable, natural-looking crown in a single appointment. These CEREC same-day crowns mean you can walk in with a problem and walk out with a fully restored tooth the very same day.
Read on to learn more about CEREC same-day crowns and how they can protect your tooth from further damage and get back to your daily routine hassle-free.
Crowns can come loose or fall off for a variety of reasons. It may be that, over time, the bonding material holding your crown in place can weaken.
If decay develops under or around the crown, it may no longer fit properly. Excessive pressure from teeth grinding can cause crowns to loosen.
You may also lose a crown after biting down on something hard — like ice or nuts.
Once a crown falls off, the exposed tooth becomes vulnerable to sensitivity, decay, and even breakage. Without the sturdy cap-like covering, your tooth structure weakens, potentially leading to more extensive dental work down the line. We want you to act quickly and seek a replacement as soon as possible.
Traditional crowns often require multiple visits, messy impressions, and temporary crowns while you wait for a permanent one to be created. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology revolutionizes the process by crafting a custom-fitted crown in just one appointment.
We start the process of your CEREC crown by using advanced 3D imaging to take precise digital impressions of your tooth.
We design your new crown right in our office using specialized software to ensure a perfect fit.
A high-tech milling unit carves your custom crown from a durable ceramic block within minutes.
We polish and shade your new crown to match your natural teeth. Then, our team securely bonds the crown to your tooth. After this single visit, you’re ready to go.
CEREC same-day crowns offer several benefits over the traditional crown process:
The entire experience is also a more comfortable experience because there’s no need for traditional dental putty.
If you've lost a crown, don’t delay treatment. Waiting can lead to further complications, discomfort, and the need for more extensive dental work. With CEREC same-day crowns, the team at Advanced Care Dentistry can quickly restore your tooth and help you get back to your daily routine with minimal hassle.
