If you’ve ever needed a dental crown, you know that the traditional process can take multiple visits and weeks of waiting. But thanks to CEREC® same-day crowns, you can restore your tooth in just one appointment!
At Advanced Dental Center in Norwalk, we are proud to offer CEREC technology, which allows us to design, create, and place high-quality ceramic crowns in a single visit—eliminating the hassle of temporary crowns and long wait times.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how CEREC same-day crowns work, along with the benefits that make them a favorite among our patients.
Step-by-Step: How CEREC Same-Day Crowns Work
1. Digital Impressions – No Messy Molds!
Instead of using traditional impression materials that can be messy and uncomfortable, we use advanced 3D digital scanning technology. A special camera captures precise images of your tooth, creating a highly detailed digital model.
2. Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
The digital model is then transferred to a computer-aided design (CAD) system, where we customize the perfect crown to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
3. In-Office Milling – Crown Created in Minutes
Once the design is finalized, the information is sent to the CEREC milling machine, which carves the crown out of a high-quality ceramic block. This process takes about 15-20 minutes, and the result is a strong, durable, and natural-looking crown.
4. Customization & Glazing
If needed, we can further stain, shade, or polish the crown to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. This ensures the most natural appearance possible.
5. Placement & Bonding
Once the crown is ready, we bond it securely to your tooth using advanced dental cement. Our dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and bite alignment.
6. Smile with Confidence – All in One Visit!
In just one appointment, your damaged tooth is restored with a strong, lifelike crown—no temporary crown, no follow-up visit, and no waiting!
