When a damaged or decayed tooth requires a crown, CEREC same-day crown technology allows you to receive your permanent restoration in a single appointment, eliminating the need for multiple visits, temporary crowns, and uncomfortable impression materials. This revolutionary computer-assisted design and manufacturing system creates precision-crafted ceramic crowns in our office while you wait, restoring your tooth’s strength and appearance in just one convenient visit.
Our restorative dentistry practice offers advanced CEREC same-day crown treatment to patients throughout Hackensack, Teaneck, Maywood, and surrounding northern New Jersey communities who want the convenience of immediate restoration without sacrificing quality or durability. Using cutting-edge digital technology and high-strength ceramic materials, CEREC crowns provide exceptional results that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while delivering long-lasting protection and function.
The CEREC Same-Day Crown Process
Your CEREC crown appointment begins with tooth preparation, removing damaged or decayed tissue while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Instead of messy impression putty, we use a digital scanner to capture precise 3D images of your prepared tooth, adjacent teeth, and bite relationship in just minutes, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the process.
The CEREC design software analyzes these digital impressions and creates a virtual model of your custom crown, taking into account your bite pattern, tooth spacing, and aesthetic requirements. We can show you the proposed crown design on our computer screen and make any adjustments before manufacturing begins, ensuring you’re completely satisfied with the planned restoration before we proceed with fabrication.
Once the design is approved, the CEREC milling unit precisely carves your crown from a solid ceramic block, creating a restoration with exceptional strength and natural translucency. The entire milling process takes approximately 15-20 minutes, during which time you can relax comfortably in our office. After milling is complete, we polish and refine your crown before bonding it permanently to your prepared tooth.
Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Technology
Same-day crown placement eliminates the inconvenience and discomfort associated with temporary crowns, which can become loose, fall out, or cause sensitivity between appointments. With CEREC technology, you leave our office with your permanent restoration in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence immediately following your appointment without worrying about protecting a fragile temporary crown.
The precision of digital impressions and computer-assisted design often produces better-fitting crowns than traditional methods, reducing the need for adjustments and improving long-term comfort. CEREC crowns are milled from solid ceramic blocks, providing superior strength and durability compared to crowns built up in layers, while the digital design process ensures optimal contours for easy cleaning and maintenance.
The convenience factor cannot be overstated for busy patients who want to minimize time away from work, school, or family responsibilities. One appointment replaces what traditionally required multiple visits spread over several weeks, making quality dental care more accessible for patients with demanding schedules.
CEREC Crown Materials and Durability
CEREC crowns are fabricated from high-strength ceramic materials specifically designed for dental restorations, providing excellent biocompatibility and natural appearance. These ceramic blocks undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet strict standards for strength, durability, and color stability, often lasting many years with proper care and maintenance.
The solid ceramic construction provides exceptional resistance to wear and staining while maintaining the natural translucency and color variation found in healthy tooth enamel. Modern CEREC materials can be precisely color-matched to your existing teeth, creating restorations virtually indistinguishable from your natural tooth structure under normal viewing conditions.
The precision milling process creates crowns with consistent wall thickness and optimal internal geometry, contributing to superior strength and longevity compared to handcrafted restorations. This manufacturing precision also ensures better marginal fit, reducing the risk of bacterial infiltration and secondary decay around the crown margins.
Conditions Treated with CEREC Crowns
CEREC same-day crowns effectively restore teeth with large cavities, extensive decay, or structural damage where composite fillings would not provide adequate strength or longevity. The crown completely covers the visible portion of your tooth, providing comprehensive protection while restoring normal function and appearance.
Cracked or fractured teeth benefit significantly from CEREC crown placement, as the restoration prevents further damage while strengthening the remaining tooth structure. Teeth with large existing fillings, root canal treatment, or significant wear may also require crown protection to ensure long-term stability and function.
