CEREC Same-Day Crowns In Burlington
CEREC same-day crowns are a modern dental technology that allows for the creation and placement of dental crowns in a single dental appointment, typically within a few hours. The term “CEREC” stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Here’s an overview of CEREC same-day crowns:
1. Digital Impression: The CEREC process begins with a digital impression of the tooth or teeth that need a crown. Instead of traditional putty-like impression materials, a 3D camera is used to capture a precise digital image of the tooth.
2. Computer-Aided Design (CAD): Once the digital impression is obtained, computer-aided design (CAD) software is used to create a 3D model of the crown. This allows our professionals to design the crown with precision, considering factors such as fit, function, and aesthetics.
3. Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM): After the crown design is complete, the CAD data is sent to a milling machine, which uses computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology to craft the crown from a solid block of dental ceramic. This process is highly precise and efficient.
4. Same-Day Fabrication: The milling machine carves the crown according to the dentist’s specifications, often in as little as 15-20 minutes. This eliminates the need for traditional impressions and a temporary crown.
5. Customization: The ceramic used for CEREC crowns closely resembles the color and translucency of natural teeth. Appleby Dental Professionals dentists can further customize the crown’s shade and appearance to match the patient’s natural teeth seamlessly.
6. Placement: Once the crown is ready, it is immediately placed in the patient’s mouth. Appleby Dental Professionals dentists ensure that it fits precisely, matches the patient’s bite, and looks natural.
