If you've had a crown in the past, you've probably experienced dealing with a temporary crown that may or may not have been unreliable. You also likely waited two to three weeks wearing your unreliable temporary crown, while a dental lab fabricated your new restoration. It was a process that required multiple visits with your dentist.
If you need a dental crown in Newmarket, ON, these days, we have great news for you! CEREC technology allows us to design, fabricate, and fit your new tooth in a single appointment. Here's what you should know.
What Is CEREC Technology?
CEREC stands for "Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics." This innovative technology uses 3-D imaging to capture a digital model of your tooth, which our dentists use to design your crown in real time.
Next, they send their specifications to the CEREC milling machine, located in our dental clinic, which fabricates your crown. Then our dentists can permanently place your crown and make any necessary bite adjustments before you leave with your new tooth.
What Are the Benefits of Same-Day Crowns in Newmarket?
CEREC crowns offer many advantages that our patients really appreciate:
- Efficiency — Your crown is finished during one appointment instead of waiting weeks for your new restoration.
- No temporary crowns — You no longer have to endure wearing a temporary crown.
- Precision — 3-D imaging allows for precision fitting for your new restoration.
- No uncomfortable impressions — CEREC crowns use 3-D imaging rather than messy impressions to capture impressions of your teeth.
