What Are Same-Day Crowns?

Restoring your smile with a traditional dental crown typically requires multiple visits, messy impression trays, and temporary crowns. Hebron Family Dentistry is proud to offer the groundbreaking CEREC technology, which allows us to design, create, and place a custom crown in just one office visit! You’ll love the incredibly natural-looking and feeling results.

What Are Dental Crowns and Why Would You Need One?

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped restorations that encase the visible portions of damaged teeth to restore their health, function, and appearance. Here are some reasons you would require a dental crown:

  • To support a tooth with a large cavity that threatens its health
  • To restore a weak, cracked, fractured, or damaged tooth
  • To strengthen and preserve a tooth after root canal therapy
  • To correct the appearance of a misaligned, misshapen, or severely discolored tooth
  • To replace one or more missing teeth by covering a dental implant or supporting a dental bridge.

What Are Same-Day CEREC Crowns?

CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, takes dental crown technology to the next level. The revolutionary system utilizes Computer-aided designing (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to create virtual models of dental crowns without the need for any impressions. The information is sent to our on-site milling unit, which produces high-quality ceramic restorations out of a durable porcelain-based material that we closely match to the color and texture of your natural teeth.

What Are the Advantages of Same-Day CEREC Crowns?

Same-day crowns are trending today. Not only is the procedure completed in one day, but you’ll also preserve tooth structure because CEREC crowns require less preparation than their traditional counterparts. Moreover, CEREC crowns are made of solid ceramic blocks, making them stronger and more durable.

CEREC crowns come in many different shades, so we can closely match your restoration to your natural teeth, leaving you with a seamless smile. Your new same-day crown will look, feel, and function just like a natural tooth. While porcelain crowns tend to last between 10-15 years, CEREC crowns have the potential to last two to three decades or even more with proper care!
