CEREC Same-Day Crowns Encinitas

What are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?

CEREC crowns are a modern advancement in restorative dentistry that allow for the creation of crowns in a single visit, offering convenience without compromising on quality. Unlike traditional crowns, which require multiple visits and temporary solutions, CEREC crowns are fabricated using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology, making the process quicker and more precise.

At Encinitas Dental Art, we focus on biocompatibility and quality when choosing materials for your crown. We work with you to ensure that your crown is not only aesthetically pleasing and functional, but also supports your long-term health. That’s why we use only high-quality and reliable materials like porcelain and zirconia, which are safe and effective for your overall well-being.

The Process of Getting a CEREC Same-Day Crown

• Consultation and Preparation: During your first visit, we begin with a consultation to assess your dental needs and discuss your treatment options. If a crown is necessary, we prepare the affected tooth, removing any decay or damage, and shaping it for the crown.
• Digital Impressions: Using state-of-the-art digital scanners, we take highly accurate impressions of your tooth. Unlike traditional molds, digital impressions are comfortable and eliminate the need for messy impression materials.
• Designing the Crown: The digital images are sent to a CEREC machine that designs the crown with exact precision. You can even see the design process in real-time on a computer screen, ensuring the crown fits perfectly with your bite and aesthetic goals.
• Fabricating the Crown: Once the design is approved, the CEREC system fabricates your crown from a block of porcelain. This process takes approximately 20-30 minutes, and the result is a high-quality, durable restoration.
• Placing the Crown: Once the crown is ready, we place it on your tooth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it fits comfortably. The final result is a smooth, natural-looking crown that is durable and functional that you can get in just a single day!

The Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns

• Convenience: With CEREC technology, you no longer need to make multiple trips to the dentist or wear a temporary crown while waiting for the final restoration. Your crown is designed, fabricated, and placed in one visit, typically in just a few hours.
• Precision: Using digital impressions, the CEREC system ensures an accurate fit, offering superior comfort and alignment with your natural teeth. The crown fits perfectly without the need for messy impressions or goopy materials.
• Natural-Looking Aesthetics: At Encinitas Dental Art, we offer zirconia and porcelain crowns that provide a seamless, natural appearance, blending in with your surrounding teeth. These materials not only look great but are also durable and long-lasting, making them an ideal choice for front and back teeth.
• Durability and Strength: CEREC crowns are made of high-quality materials, ensuring that they are strong enough to withstand daily wear and tear. Porcelain and zirconia crowns are particularly known for their resistance to staining and their ability to mimic the appearance of natural teeth.
• Biocompatibility: One of the most important aspects of our practice is ensuring that your restoration materials work in harmony with your body. Porcelain and zirconia crowns are biocompatible, meaning they are less likely to cause adverse reactions or allergies compared to metal-based crowns.
