An Excellent Option

Same-day crowns are the common terminology for a relatively new procedure that allows your dentist to create a custom-fit dental appliance that is both long-lasting and reasonably priced. Known officially as Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC),this type of crown is durable, lasts for up to 15 years with reasonable care, and its application is relatively quick and painless.

Such crowns are commonly used following a root canal or when a tooth’s cavity is too large to be filled.

The Dental Procedure

As with most restorative dental work, your dentist starts with a thorough cleaning of the tooth, taking care to remove any existing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the tooth surface. Portions of damaged surrounding gum or tissue may be removed, but your dentist will preserve as much of the original tooth enamel as possible. Working from detailed images of your mouth and bite, the dentist is able to construct a replacement crown that will fit well and closely match your existing natural teeth.
