Same-day crowns, or CEREC crowns, represent a significant leap forward in modern dental care. These crowns allow patients to receive a custom-fitted, high-quality dental restoration in just one visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns. This innovation is particularly beneficial for those needing immediate dental restoration due to decay, damage, or cosmetic concerns.
These crowns are made using advanced digital technology, ensuring a precise fit that matches your teeth’s natural shape and colour. For patients seeking a quick yet durable solution, same-day crowns offer a combination of convenience and quality that aligns with a holistic approach to dental care.
Gone are the days of multiple dental visits for a single crown. Our CEREC Omnicam machine streamlines the process, ensuring your porcelain crowns and fillings are prepared and fitted in just one visit.
CEREC technology, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, makes same-day crowns possible. This system uses CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) to design and produce your crown directly in the dental office.
Here’s how the process works:
– Digital Impressions: Instead of using traditional moulds, a digital scan of your tooth creates a precise 3D image.
– Crown Design: Using specialised software, your dentist designs the crown, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your bite and natural tooth structure.
– Milling: The design is sent to an in-office milling machine that carves the crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic. This process is typically completed in less than 30 minutes.
– Fitting: Once the crown is ready, your dentist will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments before bonding it to your tooth.
The result is a restoration that is not only fast but also tailored to your specific dental needs, offering the perfect blend of function and aesthetics.
Experience the convenience of receiving your porcelain crown in a single visit. This eliminates the need for temporary or follow-up appointments, saving you time and hassle.
Traditional crowns usually require at least two visits, two weeks apart: one to take impressions and prepare the tooth and another to place the permanent crown after it’s been fabricated in a dental lab. Same-day crowns eliminate the need for a temporary crown and reduce the treatment time to just one visit. Additionally, the precision of digital technology ensures a better fit, which can enhance the crown’s longevity and overall comfort for the patient.
For patients with busy lifestyles, same-day crowns offer unparalleled convenience. The entire process—from consultation to crown placement—can be completed in a single appointment. This saves time and reduces the stress of multiple visits and the discomfort of temporary crowns.
Thanks to digital scanning and CAD/CAM technology, same-day crowns are designed with a high level of precision. This ensures that the crown fits perfectly, minimising the risk of discomfort, misalignment, or a poor seal. Customising the crown on-site allows your dentist to make real-time adjustments, ensuring the final product meets your needs.
Porcelain is renowned for its biocompatibility, strength, and aesthetic appeal. It mimics the natural appearance of your teeth while ensuring longevity and durability.
Porcelain mimics the natural translucency of tooth enamel, blending seamlessly with your other teeth. Additionally, the strength of these materials ensures that the crown can withstand normal biting and chewing forces, providing a long-lasting solution.
Moreover, the precision fit of same-day crowns helps protect the underlying tooth structure and prevent future dental issues, aligning with a holistic approach focusing on long-term oral health.
The journey to receiving a same-day crown begins with a comprehensive consultation. Your dentist will assess the condition of your tooth, often using digital imaging to get a clear picture of what’s needed. If a same-day crown is the best solution, the process can often begin immediately.
During the appointment, your tooth will be prepared as required for a traditional dental crown. Once prepared, a digital scanner takes an accurate 3D scan/record of your tooth, eliminating the need for traditional impression materials (making the process more comfortable and precise). Your dentist then uses this scan to custom design your crown, ensuring the perfect fit with your bite, interproximal contacts, and gingival margins and matching the shade to the colour of your surrounding teeth.
After the design phase, the crown is milled in-office using a high-quality ceramic material and CEREC technology. Once the crown is ready, your dentist will test its fit, make any necessary adjustments, and cement it into place.
The procedure is usually completed in around one to two hours. At Gold Coast Holistic Dental Care, we offer our ‘bliss package’ for most clients scheduled for same-day crowns so that you can sit back and relax with a spa-like experience, all while your new crown is being fabricated.
Caring for a same-day crown is straightforward and aligns with general oral hygiene practices. Continue brushing twice daily, flossing, and using an antiseptic mouthwash. It’s also important to avoid chewing on hard objects, like ice or pens, to prevent damage to the crown.
Regular dental check-ups are essential to ensure the longevity of your same-day crown. During these visits, your dentist will check the crown and surrounding teeth for any signs of wear or issues, ensuring that everything remains in good condition.
Dental crowns can last 10-15 years or more with proper care. However, like any dental restoration, they may eventually need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear over time. Your dentist will provide guidance on when a replacement might be necessary based on your crown’s condition and overall oral health, which your dentist can monitor at regular dental check-ups.
Same-day crowns are a modern, efficient solution for dental restoration, offering the ideal blend of convenience, precision, and durability. With the ability to receive a custom-fitted crown in just one visit, you can enjoy a restored, healthy smile without the hassle of multiple appointments.
