CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Patients want or need dental crowns for various reasons, including:
- Capping at-risk or damaged teeth
- Connecting bridge teeth to healthy teeth
- Capping a dental implant post
- Lengthening a short or worn tooth
- Concealing cosmetic flaws
At Modern Dentistry of St. Cloud, we are pleased to offer same-day tooth crowns made from quality porcelain.
What Are Same-Day Dental Crowns?
We create our same-day dental crowns in St. Cloud, FL, using CEREC technology.
For CEREC crowns, we take a digital impression of the treated tooth and send the results to our online computer for specifications. From there, the results move to our on-site 3-D printer. Your crown is then cut from a single piece of quality ceramic.
The dentist makes final adjustments to fit and color before cementing your crown over the treated tooth.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover that fits over a treated tooth or dental implant post. It is always customized. Your dentist will determine whether a CEREC same-day crown is suitable for you.
With traditional tooth crowns, you often must wait weeks for an outside lab to create your restoration. Meanwhile, have to endure a temporary crown. This approach sometimes means multiple dental visits.
Dental crowns protect, restore, and even play a role in replacing teeth through dental implants and dental bridges.
