CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns

What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are attached snugly over a natural tooth. The dental crown is made of porcelain or ceramic material that matches the shade of your other teeth precisely. So, after the crown is placed, you’ll have a new tooth that fits right into your mouth and enhances your appearance.
The Dental Crown Process
With traditional dental crowns, a dentist takes impressions and scans of the sour mouth and the damaged tooth. Then, they send these images to a lab. The lab makes your customized crown, and you come back to the office in a few weeks to have the crown permanently placed.
Because dental crowns both help restore your tooth and improve the look of your smile, they are considered both a restorative and cosmetic dentistry treatment.
At DeStefano Dentistry, we provide traditional dental crowns as well as same-day crowns. Both options can work well, so give us a call to learn more or set up a consultation.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
While regular dental crowns traditionally take two appointments to complete, here at DeStefano Dentistry, we can offer same-day solutions to your dental crown needs.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology lets us create and place custom crowns in just one appointment.
How It Works:
With CEREC, you save time while restoring your smile’s function and beauty in just one day!
Which Type of Dental Crown Is Right For Me?
There are pros and cons to both options for dental crowns. During your consultation, Dr. DeStefano will discuss these with you and help you determine which kind of crown best suits your lifestyle, dental needs, and budget.
Traditional Crowns: Generally speaking, traditional crowns are more versatile and durable. There are more options to match exact tooth shades and translucency, and they may last longer than same-day crowns.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns: On the other hand, CEREC crowns are much more convenient. You’ll see results right away and won’t have to wait for a final restoration to come in from the lab. They are sometimes more expensive, but it depends.
Both options can restore your tooth and improve how your smile looks, so it’s a matter of what you’re looking for and which option sounds best to you.
