Do you need a dental crown in Poway, California? You no longer need multiple dental trips to restore your smile with dental crowns. Pearls of Dentistry offers same-day CEREC crowns to rebuild your smile with one injection and no temporary crowns. Imagine walking into our office with a damaged tooth and leaving with a brand-new crown or smile! It sounds like a dream, but it’s a reality. Drs. Juergen Langenbach and Lynne Thomas have invested in CEREC technology, which allows our office to collaborate with you, together we will discuss the best material to use for restoring your tooth, how it should be designed, and then it will be created and placed in a single appointment.
How do CEREC dental crowns work?
Getting a dental crown used to be a lengthy process, but now it’s quick and easy. Thanks to CEREC dentistry, you don’t need to visit our office multiple times. We can restore your smile in a day.
Here’s what to expect when getting a CEREC dental crown.
- Tooth preparation: The process starts with a consultation to determine what material would be best to restore your tooth to health. We’ll prepare your tooth by removing only the infected/damaged portions of the tooth. We ensure your tooth preparation will be conservative and as comfortable as possible. The doctor uses powerful anesthetics, but you can consider sedation dentistry if you are anxious about the procedure.
- Advanced 3D imaging process: Once your tooth is prepped, the dentist will use a digital scanner to capture high-quality images of your tooth. The images are processed with a computer-aided design (CAD) machine to create a perfect-fitting design for your crown.
- In-house milling: Unlike traditional crowns, we don’t need to send your crown design to an offsite dental lab. No temporary crowns were necessary! After the doctors have designed your onlay or crown, we’ll feed digital images into an in-house milling machine that fabricates your dental crown from a ceramic block. Amazingly, this process only takes about 15 minutes! So, by the time you relax in your treatment suite, your new crown will be ready to be cemented!
- Placement: CEREC technology mills your crown with ultimate precision, so we only need to make little to no adjustments to provide a comfortable fit. Once everything is set, we’ll bond your new crown to your tooth using permanent dental adhesives.
What are the benefits of CEREC dental crowns?
You are at an advantage if your dentist offers CEREC dentistry. It means you no longer have to miss work or classes multiple times to restore your smile. It only takes a few hours to restore your smile with a permanent, custom-made restoration.
Here are the benefits of same-day dental crowns.
- Convenience: Same-day crowns mean precisely thatโthey are placed in one day. Thanks to in-house design and milling capabilities, CEREC dentistry ensures your entire dental crown procedure can be completed in a single appointment.
- No temporaries: Since you leave our office with the real deal, you don’t need to wear ill-fitting temporary crowns. Interim crowns rarely fit well, meaning you need to “baby” your restoration to keep it intact. Thankfully, you don’t need one when restoring your tooth with a CEREC crown.
- Comfortable impressions: No more dealing with messy, gag-inducing manual impressions. CEREC crowns are made from a digital impression with an intra-oral scanner.
- Precision: CEREC technology fabricates your crown with excellent precision, ensuring optimal functionality and longevity. CEREC technology can also copy existing crowns or teeth reducing the need to replace existing appliances such as sleep appliances, retainers,ย nightguards, etc. Your crown can be retrofitted to these appliances.
- One injection: One visitโฆone injection. Dental anesthetic is only needed for one appointment not two like traditional methods.
