The procedure for getting same-day dental crowns
A dental crown is a small restoration that wears “several hats” in modern dentistry. This tooth-shaped cap can repair damage, replace missing teeth, and cosmetically enhance unattractive ones. Getting a dental crown is traditionally a two-visit procedure that can take weeks and sometimes months. Thanks to CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) technology, we can plan, fabricate, and place dental crowns in a single visit. CEREC can be used to make crowns, onlays, and veneers. The materials can be zirconia, lithium disilicate, or resin-ceramic hybrids.
So, how do CEREC same-day crowns work? Here’s the step-by-step procedure.
- Examination: It all starts with a thorough evaluation by Drs. Pearl. The dentist assesses the affected tooth to determine if a crown is the right solution. Dental X-rays may also be taken to get a clear view of the tooth’s structural health.
- Digital scans: If a crown is needed, the dentist will use an intraoral scanner to capture digital impressions of your tooth—no need for messy, uncomfortable trays. This modern technology is fast, accurate, and far more comfortable than goop-based impressions.
- Digital design: The digital scans are used within our design software to design your crown, onlay, or veneers that fit great on the teeth and within your smile.
- Fabrication: Once your design is finalized, we proceed to fabrication. There is no need to send scans to an off-site lab. Using our in-house milling machine, we craft your crown from a ceramic block that closely matches the colour of your natural tooth. The best part? As precise as it is, this process only takes 15 minutes.
- Placement: Once your crown is made, the dentist will examine its aesthetics and fit. Adjustments may be necessary to ensure your restoration looks and feels right. Finally, the dentist will bond your crown to your natural tooth, providing immediate function and aesthetics.
