Same Day Crowns
Have you ever had to wait a couple of weeks or more for permanent dental crowns? Thanks to CEREC computer-assisted technology, you can get same day crowns in Richland, WA. Our dental team can design and create these restorations during one visit, saving you time and hassle!
What Are Same-Day Crowns?
These are caps we put on damaged or decayed teeth to help restore them and protect them from bacteria. But instead of having them made in a lab, we produce them on site. That means you can leave our office with permanent crowns on!
CEREC technology allows us to make them during your visit on a milling machine, eliminating the need to come in for multiple appointments. Our machine uses high-quality material to ensure durability.
What Are the Benefits of Getting CEREC Crowns?
What makes these a good option for restoring teeth? These same-day crowns offer many advantages, including all of the following:
- Durable porcelain for lasting quality
- Natural appearance for a more confident smile
- Only one appointment
- A quick and convenient option
- No temporary crowns
Traditional Crowns vs. CEREC
How do these restoration options differ? Traditional crowns include a temporary set and a permanent set. You wear the temporary ones while your custom permanent ones are made in a lab. Temporary crowns aren’t custom-made, potentially resulting in an uncomfortable fit and they don’t protect teeth as much. You also need to come in for two or more visits for these crowns.
CEREC crowns are a one-and-done option, providing you with a way to restore teeth in a single visit. They’re made using digital impressions of your teeth for a better fit. There’s no waiting for a permanent set, instead, you get a full restoration the same day!
Are Same-Day Crowns Right for You?
They might be, but this depends on a few factors. We’ll consider where the affected teeth are in your mouth. CEREC crowns are durable, but may not be enough to handle chewing or grinding. They’re better suited for restoring teeth in the front of your mouth, like incisors, rather than molars.
If they’re not the best solution for you, we’ll give you other options!
What to Expect
What happens when you get same-day crowns? Our process includes these steps:
- Removing decay or damage and preparing teeth for crowns
- Making digital impressions of your teeth
- Creating custom crowns using a CEREC milling machine
- Fitting your teeth with your new crowns
- Cementing them for a secure fit
We’ll also let you know how to take care of them so they’ll stay in good shape for years!
How Long Do CEREC Crowns Last?
You can expect them to last for roughly a decade or more, but it depends on wear and tear and other factors. They can become loose or even break if you’re not careful. If this happens, our dentist can replace them with new ones in one visit.
