The answer is yes. With in-office CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology, you can get a dental crown in one visit. The traditional process for getting a dental crown involves sending the mold of the tooth to an outside lab. Sending it out of the office can usually take a week or more. During that time, your tooth will be protected by a temporary crown. For situations where a tooth is vulnerable from a recent root canal, breakage, or a deep cavity, being able to get a crown in one day can be so beneficial.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics
Rather than outsourcing the crown creation to an outside lab, the crown is sculpted in the office. Using computer-aided design and manufacturing, the crown is created based on extensive digital measurements of your tooth and mouth. With the creation being done in an on-site milling lab, your crown can be ready for a fitting in under an hour.
Walking out with full protection after one visit
Once your dental crown is created with CEREC Same-Day Crowns technology, the placement will be done in the same visit. Rather than having a temporary crown that you have to be extra mindful and careful of, you will leave with your permanent crown. You will save time for all the fun things going on in your life. Your dentist will check on your crown and its fitting during your regular visits. Of course, if the crown does not feel right, you should always let your dentist know as soon as possible.
