Your CEREC Same-Day Crown Journey
Our state-of-the-art CEREC technology allows us to create bespoke restorations whilst you relax in our care. The entire process takes place in one visit, typically completed within two to three hours from start to finish.
1. Comprehensive Digital Assessment | 30 to 45 minutes
We begin with a thorough examination and digital imaging of your tooth. Our advanced 3D scanning technology captures precise measurements of your tooth structure, eliminating the need for traditional impressions. We discuss your restoration options and address any questions during this initial phase.
2. Digital Design and Milling | 45 to 60 minutes
Using CEREC software, we design your custom restoration on screen, ensuring perfect fit and natural aesthetics. The design is sent to our in-house milling unit, which precisely crafts your crown, inlay, or onlay from a single block of high-quality ceramic whilst we prepare your tooth.
3. Placement and Refinement | 30 to 45 minutes
Once your restoration is complete, we carefully place and bond it to your prepared tooth. We check your bite, make any necessary adjustments for comfort, and polish the restoration to ensure it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth before you leave.
Risks and Recovery
Like any dental restoration, CEREC crowns carry potential risks and require brief adjustment considerations.
Possible Risk Includes:
- Temporary tooth sensitivity following placement
- Minor gum irritation around the treated area
- Risk of crown fracture under excessive biting forces
- Possibility of requiring root canal therapy if tooth is compromised
Recovery Considerations:
- Most return to normal activities immediately after treatment
- Sensitivity typically settles within a few days
- Avoiding very hard foods initially helps protect the restoration
- Regular dental reviews ensure long-term success
- CEREC restorations typically last ten years or longer
- Proper oral hygiene maintains restoration integrity
INVESTING IN YOUR SMILE
frequent asked questions
How does CEREC differ from traditional crowns?
Traditional crowns require multiple appointments with temporary crowns worn between visits whilst a laboratory fabricates your restoration. CEREC creates your permanent crown in our practice during a single appointment using computer-aided design and milling technology. The ceramic material used is comparable in strength and aesthetics to laboratory-made crowns.
Both approaches result in durable, natural-looking restorations. However, CEREC eliminates the inconvenience of temporary crowns and multiple visits, allowing you to leave with your permanent restoration on the same day.
How long will my CEREC restoration last?
CEREC restorations have demonstrated success rates of approximately ninety per cent at ten years when properly maintained. Longevity depends on factors including oral hygiene practices, regular dental visits, bite forces, and whether you grind your teeth. Avoiding very hard foods and wearing a guard if you grind can help protect your restoration.
Regular professional cleanings and examinations allow us to monitor your restoration and address any concerns early. With proper care, many CEREC restorations last well beyond ten years.
Will my CEREC restoration look natural?
CEREC restorations are crafted from high-quality ceramic that closely mimics the appearance of natural tooth enamel. We carefully select the shade to match your existing teeth and design the shape to complement your smile. The computer-aided technology ensures precise fit and contours.
The ceramic material reflects light similarly to natural teeth, creating a seamless appearance. Most people will not be able to distinguish your CEREC restoration from your natural teeth.
