Save Time and Restore Your Smile With CEREC One-Day Crowns

What Are CEREC One-Day Crowns?

Many patients avoid dental crowns because they assume they will entail lengthy, painful procedures.

Thankfully, CEREC one-day crowns present an efficient, modern solution for restorative dentistry. Chairside economic restoration of esthetic ceramics (CEREC) crowns involves efficient design and imagery processes to custom-shape a crown to your tooth in a single visit. We can resolve chipped, cracked, and damaged teeth efficiently and effectively to protect your smile and get you back to your daily life quickly.

CEREC one-day crowns restore damaged teeth immediately, save you time, and prevent the need for low-quality temporary crowns. At Boca Dental, we have extensive training and experience in CEREC restorative dentistry procedures, enabling us to provide comfortable, reliable dental care using state-of-the-art technology to streamline your experience.

Who Can Benefit From One-Day Crowns?

Most candidates for traditional crowns are also candidates for CEREC one-day crowns. Our team will take x-rays of your teeth and evaluate issues closely to determine whether a CEREC crown is the right treatment option for you.

Generally, CEREC one-day crowns are suitable for patients looking for fast and efficient treatment for the following conditions:

• Severe tooth decay
• Broken teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Post-root-canal teeth
• Discolored front teeth

How Are CEREC One-Day Crowns Different From Traditional Crowns?

Dental crowns are caps that cover the surface of the tooth to restore damaged or chipped portions and protect the tooth from further damage. CEREC one-day crowns offer the functionality and protection of traditional crowns with additional benefits.

The main difference between CEREC crowns and traditional crowns is the time involved. When you see a dentist for a traditional crown, they will take an impression of your teeth, then send the impression to a lab to construct the crown. In the meantime, they will place a temporary crown on your tooth, which is weak and subject to cracking. Then, you must return in a few weeks to remove the temporary crown and receive the permanent one.

With CEREC one-day crowns, you can undergo the entire crown procedure in one dental visit. At Boca Dental, we construct your crown in-office using modern imaging equipment and shaping tools. You won’t need a temporary crown or have to come back for the permanent crown application: We take care of it all in one streamlined visit.

Our CEREC One-Day Crown Process

If you’ve experienced tooth discomfort, chipped or broken teeth, or tooth discoloration, schedule an appointment with our dental team. We will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine whether a one-day crown is the right treatment for you.

If so, we will proceed with the crown application on the same visit. We’ll use computer-aided design and manufacturing technology to take a 3D scan of your teeth, creating an accurate model to construct the crown around. Then, we’ll create your crown using durable, tooth-colored ceramic.

Finally, we will use a chemical bonding process to secure the crown over your tooth. You’ll leave your appointment with a beautifully restored tooth, a natural smile, and minimal discomfort—no messy impressions, long waiting periods, or temporary crowns necessary!

Who Is a Candidate for CEREC One-Day Crowns?

CEREC one-day crowns are similar to traditional crowns and are suitable for most people. However, patients with fractures below the gum line may benefit more from traditional crowns, as the CEREC imaging technology may not capture these fractures accurately.

You can trust our cosmetic dentists specializing in crowns to recommend the best treatment option tailored to your specific dental concerns.
