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.
