Enjoy the Comfort and Convenience of CEREC Same-day Crowns
A dental crown is a customized cap worn over a damaged tooth to restore its color, shape, and size. Traditionally, placing a crown involves a drawn-out procedure with multiple dental trips. Modern technology allows a dental crown to be placed in a single appointment! Seasons Dental has invested in CEREC technology to plan, design, fabricate, and place crowns in hours. Whether you need a dental crown in Burley, Idaho, for cosmetic or restorative work, schedule an appointment with Dr. Ty Bodily and Dr. Chad Bodily for exceptional care.
Why do I need a dental crown?
Dental crowns are as tiny as a fingernail but are a “powerhouse” in dentistry. Dental crowns have several uses, including:
- Restoration: When tooth damage is too pronounced for a filling, a dental crown provides full coverage to enhance its structural integrity. We can also use a dental crown to reinforce a root canal-treated tooth.
- Replace missing teeth: We can pair dental crowns with dental implants or bridges to replace one or multiple missing teeth.
- Aesthetics: We can use a dental crown to improve the aesthetics of misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
How are CEREC dental crowns placed?
Getting a same-day dental crown is a seamless procedure. It starts with a consultation, where the dentist examines your tooth with dental X-rays. If a crown is all that is needed, we’ll remove the decayed/damaged portions and reshape your tooth to create room for your crown.
Next, we’ll digitally scan your teeth and use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology to create a model of your crown. Once we approve your crown design, we’ll send the image to an in-house milling machine, fabricating your restoration within minutes.
Once your crown is ready, we’ll place it over your tooth to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments for comfort and a natural appearance. Once everything looks and feels perfect, we’ll securely bond the crown to your tooth using strong, long-lasting dental adhesive.
What are the benefits of CEREC same-day crowns?
Here are the pros of same-day crowns.
- Convenience: Same-day dental crowns redefine convenience. We can restore your tooth from damaged to fully functional in just one visit. CEREC technology combines advanced software and hardware to allow us to plan, create, and place dental crowns within hours.
- Comfort: CEREC technology uses digital scanning to take molds off your teeth. Digital scanners are far more comfortable than manual impressions that involve biting into a tray of gooey substances.
- Aesthetics: Same-day crowns are made with high-quality ceramics that closely resemble natural enamel. They match the exact shade of your natural teeth to create realistic-looking outcomes.
- No temporaries: One-visit crowns allow you to leave our office with a permanent crown. Unlike traditional crowns, you must wear an ill-fitting temporary crown for several weeks until your permanent crown is ready.
- Precision: Our advanced technology—from precise digital scanning to state-of-the-art milling—enables us to create restorations that fit perfectly for maximum comfort.
