Using CEREC for Same Day Crowns
June 8, 2018
Dental patients who need root canals and other procedures that require a follow-up fitting for a dental crown often look for ways to minimize the wait times, and for good reason. Temporary dental crown fittings can be uncomfortable if necessary, and dental professionals who can minimize the window between a root canal and a permanent dental crown being placed are in high demand. That’s why patients should know about the opportunity to get a same day crown from Dr. Hal Kimowitz and Dr. Adam Kimowitz at Denville Dentist in Denville, NJ. This procedure is made possible by the CEREC® system, a revolutionary new technology that is changing the way crowns and bridges are made.
How to Build a Dental Crown in One Day with Cerec
Traditional dental crown placements take so long because the imaging that specialists need to build dental crowns had to be taken in an appointment, and then those specialists needed time and the right equipment to custom manufacture a perfect fit. The same-day dental crown solution works because of improvements in both imaging and manufacturing technology that allow for manufacturing labs to be hosted in dental and periodontal offices, and to finish the manufacturing process while you wait.
- Advanced three-dimensional imaging provides more precise schematics of the dental crown to be constructed.
- The CEREC system uses those images to digitally process the manufacturing instructions, speeding up the design and building process.
- 3D printing creates the dental crown from porcelain quickly, using extrusion technologies that can start building almost immediately after the imaging is complete.
The result utilizing the Cerec system is a durable, natural-looking crown that is as robust and long-lived as any traditionally manufactured crown, and often even better fitting.
