If you have large fillings, broken teeth, or another type of dental damage, CEREC® same-day crowns may be right for you. Restorative dentistry treatments can transform the health and appearance of damaged teeth. CEREC® same-day crowns offer the restorative benefits of traditional dental crowns in a fraction of the time. To find out if CEREC® same-day crowns are right for you, schedule a consultation with Scottsdale, AZ dentist Ann Sielicki.

What Is CEREC® Technology?

Traditionally, dental crown treatment requires two dental visits. During the first visit, impressions are taken of the teeth. These impressions are then sent to a dental lab where each dental crown is custom-made, a process that can take up to two weeks to complete. Once the crown is completed, a second dental visit is required to place the finished crown. Dr. Sielicki understands how inconvenient this process can be for patients, which is why she offers CEREC® same-day crowns.

CEREC® technology is one of the most advanced imaging and milling systems available in the dental field. CEREC® technology allows dental crowns and other dental restorations to be crafted the same day and in-office using precise 3D imaging of the teeth. Once the images are captured, they are wirelessly sent to an in-office milling machine. The milling machine then uses the digital impressions to craft customized crowns during the same dental visit.

The Benefits of CEREC® Same-day Dental Crowns

CEREC® same-day dental crown treatment offers many benefits. CEREC® same-day crowns eliminate the need for a second dental visit, saving patients time and allowing them to enjoy a restored smile instantly. Some of the many benefits of CEREC® same-day crowns include:

Convenient treatment: Treatment with CEREC® same-day crowns only requires one dental appointment instead of two, making it convenient for patients with busy lifestyles.
Precise imaging: CEREC® technology provides accurate imaging of the teeth, allowing each crown to fit with precision.
Time saving: Because only one dental appointment is needed, CEREC® same-day crowns save patients more time than traditional methods. In fact, a single crown treatment can be completed in as little as 90 minutes.
Same-day crowns are durable: CEREC® crowns are made of durable, natural-looking porcelain for long lasting results.
Improved dental function: CEREC® same-day crowns improve the dental function of teeth damaged by large cavities, chips, or fractures. This allows patients to eat and speak with comfort and ease.
Restored oral health and appearance: Treating damaged teeth with CEREC® same-day crowns helps restore oral health and improve appearance, preventing further damage and masking dental flaws.
