What are CEREC Same-Day Crowns? If you have ever needed dental crowns, then you probably have the same complaint that most patients do – it is incredibly tedious and time-consuming. But just because of this disadvantage, it does not mean you have to give up getting your teeth fixed. You don’t have to sacrifice a beautiful smile just because you’re short on time for several dentist appointments. Thanks to the CEREC Same-Day Crowns, available at Arden Park Dental Care, you can now have the smile you’ve always wanted. CEREC Same-Day Crowns, as the name suggests, are dental crowns that take just one day to be placed. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics and is developed and marketed by Sirona Dental, a well-known leader in dental technology.

It is also called CERamic REConstruction. At Arden Park Dental Care, Dr. Shahnaz Formoli makes sure that we are always equipped with the most up-to-date technology in CEREC. Our CEREC Same Day Crowns treatment is one of the most popular services chosen by our patients. Using Computer Aided Design (CAD) as well as Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Dr. Formoli will accurately create your dental crowns in what may seem like no time at all. All you have to do is sit and wait in the chair while she does all the work and completes it within a single visit, without the need for a second appointment.

How does the procedure for CEREC Same Day Crowns work?

Dr. Formoli will use CAD and CAM technologies to prepare your crowns. First, your tooth enamel will be cleaned of any decay and reshaped to prepare it so it can wear the crown safely and comfortably. Then, using a medical-grade camera and computer technology, digital pictures of your dental anatomy will be taken, rather than making a traditional impression that dentists generally use.
The computer then converts the picture into a 3-D CAD model of that specific tooth. Next, based on the CAD model, the computer makes use of CAM technology to create an accurate ceramic dental crown for your tooth using a single porcelain block. This process takes no more than half an hour. All you have to do is sit comfortably in the chair while you wait. After the dental crown is created, it will be placed on your tooth, then and there. With this, the entire procedure is over. You don’t have to come back for another appointment.

Dr. Formoli makes sure that you are comfortable during the entire CEREC Same-Day Crown procedure. Having practiced dentistry for over 20 years, with a special focus on cosmetic dentistry, such as dental crowns and implants, she understands that her patient’s safety and comfort are important factors that contribute greatly to their overall experience and treatment.

CEREC Same-day crowns are much less time-consuming

Perhaps the most significant benefit of CEREC Same Day Crowns is that they are extremely time-saving. Just one appointment that lasts for a few hours is enough to restore your smile and the functionality of your teeth. This way, you can save time, not having to take several days off from work or school, to get your crowns placed.In the case of traditional crowns, you would have to make two separate appointments to finish the entire procedure. Spanning over a period of one to two weeks, the traditional crown process can be somewhat time-consuming compared to a one day process for CEREC dental crowns.

It is cost-effective

Despite its fast and comfortable procedure and its accurate results, CEREC Same Day Crowns are rather affordable. In fact, your dental crowns will cost about the same price as traditional crowns made in a lab. As you will only need one appointment, you will spend less time off work, and less time at the dentist’s office.

It has an aesthetically pleasing appearance

The material used for CERC Same Day Crowns is porcelain, which blends seamlessly with the surrounding tooth enamel. This results in a natural-looking dental crown that you can hardly differentiate from your existing natural teeth. Dr. Formoli will help you achieve the perfect smile, restoring functionality at the same time.
