If you were getting a traditional crown, the next step would be to take an impression (mold) of your teeth with a putty-like material, and use it to construct a model on which to create the crown.
This involves removing any decay that's present, and shaping the tooth with a dental drill so that it will fit perfectly inside the crown. The process of crowning a tooth starts out the same way, whether it's a same-day crown or traditional crown: with “preparation” of the tooth. And the amazingly lifelike appearance of a same-day crown means that no one will know your tooth has been restored. Now you can have a restored tooth without the wait.īest of all, studies have shown that CAD/CAM tooth restorations are just as successful as crowns made with traditional materials and techniques.
It's an amazing innovation when you consider that traditionally, crowns take two or three visits and just as many weeks of waiting. But these days, there's a much more convenient alternative: same-day crowns made in the dental office.Īdvanced dental technology known as Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing, or CAD/CAM, makes it possible to fabricate laboratory-grade crowns and other dental restorations in minutes. Crown fabrication traditionally takes place in a dental laboratory. A crown is a durable covering that is custom-made to fit over the entire tooth from the gum line up. Other types of crowns require two office visits.A tooth that has been structurally damaged by decay or trauma sometimes needs to be crowned or “capped” so that it can look good and function properly again. If a natural tooth-colored porcelain crown is chosen, our CEREC® CAD/CAM treatment gives patients a completed permanent crown in just one office visit. With proper care and good oral hygiene, the life of a crown can range from 5 to 15 years. Once it is permanently bonded in place, only a Dentist or Specialist can remove it. It fully encases the visible portion of your tooth or dental implant. About CrownsĪ dental crown restores a tooth's shape, size, and strength.
