Up until relatively recently, receiving a dental crown looked like visiting the dentist\u2019s office multiple times over the course of a few weeks. You\u2019d need to have a model of your affected tooth taken and sent off to a lab to craft it, and then you\u2019d have to return to the office to have the crown placed. With the emergence of new, highly advanced technology, the ability to create same-day dental crowns in Rochester was possible, allowing patients a more convenient and streamlined alternative to repairing affected teeth. Read on to learn five interesting facts about this modern restorative process that many people don\u2019t know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They Can Be Placed Within 2 Hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional dental crowns, which may require up to three visits to the dental office and can take multiple weeks to complete, every step of the CEREC<\/a> process can be completed in a single appointment that takes about two to three hours. The dentist will create a digital impression of the affected tooth, prepare it, and mill the restoration, all under the same roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Made from Durable Porcelain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CEREC same-day crowns are made by an in-office milling machine out of a solid block of porcelain. In the dental world, this material is hailed as being durable, natural-looking, and stain-resistant, making it an excellent option for dental restorations. With the proper care and maintenance, a porcelain crown can last for up to 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Have a More Precise Fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most interesting benefits and facts of same-day crowns is that the whole process is completed by one team using advanced technology. The dentist will capture a 3D digital impression of the tooth that the crown will go on once it\u2019s prepared and send the blueprint to the milling machine, where the technology will create the crown according to the dentist\u2019s exact specifications. Because the blueprint doesn\u2019t have to be created and executed by two different experts, same-day crowns typically offer a more precise fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their Cost Doesn\u2019t Vary as Much as You\u2019d Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You would think that because of the added convenience and advanced technology used for same-day crowns, that they would cost exponentially more than traditional porcelain crowns. However, that\u2019s not the case! These restorations often carry about the same price tag as traditional ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Not Always the Best Option for Every Situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While same-day crowns seem like an ideal restorative solution on paper, that may not be the case for each individual patient situation. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to be open to the traditional crown process as well. During your consultation, your dentist in Rochester will present you with all of your options and make sure you have all of the facts you need to make the best decision for your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true that no matter what way you slice it, getting a dental crown will never be an exciting experience, but when you\u2019re able to choose a more advanced, streamlined treatment option like CEREC same-day crowns, you can rest assured that it will be fast, convenient, and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
