CEREC Same-Day Dentistry: A Guide to the Latest Technology in Restorative Dentistry

  • Drs. Gary and Scott Pearl

CEREC Teeth Crown in Hamden CT Area

Have you been braving the discomfort of damaged teeth because you dread spending time at the dental office? Not anymore. Thanks to same-day dentistry, treatments are faster and more convenient than ever. Pearl Dental Care employs CEREC technology to design, prepare, and place dental restorations in just one appointment, minimizing wait times and eliminating the need for ill-fitting, temporary restorations.

Drs. Gary and Scott Pearl in Hamden, Connecticut, deliver high-quality results with CEREC crowns but without the wait.

A dive into CEREC technology

CEREC stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.” This technology combines computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and human craftsmanship to fabricate high-quality dental crowns in a single visit. 

Traditionally, getting dental crowns involves multiple dental appointments, which could span over several weeks. During the initial appointment, your dentist prepares your tooth, takes manual/ goopy impressions, and sends it to an offsite dental lab to manufacture your crown. Fabricating a traditional crown takes several days. As you wait for your permanent crown, your dentist fits a temporary crown to support your smile. Once your crown is ready, you make another trip to the dentist for the fitting. Returning for the final crown usually requires an injection of anesthetic again. 

On the other hand, the CEREC procedure involves the following:

  • Prepping your teeth but in a much more conservative manner than traditional crowns because we do not have to worry about temporary crowns
  • Using an intraoral camera to scan your teeth. No manual/ goopy impressions
  • Using CAD software to design your crown with an exact replication of your tooth
  • Using an in-house milling machine to carve out your crown from a ceramic block. The procedure takes about 15 minutes
  • Adjusting your crown and permanently bonding it to your tooth

The “same-day” slogan isn’t just a buzzword. The entire process of preparing, fabricating, and installing your crowns happens in one appointment.

Benefits of same-day dentistry: saving time and hassle for patients and better for your tooth

We understand life gets busy. Fixing your smile may not top your priority list, especially if the process takes too long. But thanks to same-day dentistry, restoring your smile doesn’t require taking days out of your busy schedule. CEREC technology is the modern definition of convenient, hassle-free dentistry.

The other benefits of CEREC crowns include:

  • Comfort — digital impressions are much more comfortable than physical impressions with a putty material (think goopy mess)
  • Saves money — fewer dental appointments mean more money in the wallet
  • No temporary crowns — you get your permanent crown right away. No need for an uncomfortable, temporary crown as you wait for a lab to finish your permanent crown
  • Preserving more tooth structure than traditional full crowns

Are CEREC crowns as good as traditional ones? 

Since CEREC crowns are made in a single day, you may doubt their credibility. While CEREC crowns are fast and convenient, they are carefully designed without sacrificing quality. So, yes, CEREC crowns are as good as traditional crowns, or even better. CEREC technology creates a precise replica of your teeth, resulting in more natural-looking and perfect-fitting restorations.
