If you've had a crown in years past, you know that it was quite a process that involved two long appointments and waiting two to three weeks with a temporary crown while a dental lab completed your restoration. These days, CEREC same-day crowns have made all of that a distant memory. Now, we can complete your crown during a single visit to our dental office. Here's how CEREC same-day crowns in Wilmington, MA, work.
Precision-Fit Dental Crowns
CEREC same-day technology offers innovation, precision, and efficiency that our patients love. CEREC uses 3-D imaging to capture an image of your compromised tooth. Dr. Lee uses the 3-D image to design your new restoration. CEREC then uses an in-house milling machine to create your new tooth with high-quality porcelain, while you wait, according to Dr. Lee's exact specifications.
Once your restoration is finished, Dr. Lee can permanently place it and make any needed adjustments before you go. You will leave our dental office after about 90 minutes with a beautiful, fully functional new porcelain crown that complements your smile.
The Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Here are some of the advantages of CEREC crowns that our patients appreciate:
- Same-day turnaround — Leaving your appointment with your new crown is more appealing than waiting two to three weeks.
- No temporaries needed — Because of same-day turnaround, you don't have to endure wearing an uncomfortable temporary crown.
- No messy impressions — CEREC uses 3-D imaging so you don't have to endure the messy, goopy alginate impressions we used in the past.
- Precision fit — CEREC's 3-D imaging and design allows our dentists to create crowns with a precise fit.
