Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Traditionally, when you have a cracked or severely decayed tooth, you would require multiple appointments to the dentist to have your tooth treated. During the first appointment to begin the restoration process, your tooth would be prepared to remove the areas of damage. Then, your tooth would be sealed using a special material to prevent the growth of bacteria. Finally, an impression of the tooth would be taken. Impressions pose certain challenges because they provide several minutes of discomfort. In addition, those who have a severely damaged tooth, impressions could not often be used. However, while they might be uncomfortable, impressions are necessary with traditional crowns.
The impressions must be sent to an off-site lab. It takes roughly two weeks for the lab to create the crown, which means a temporary crown is needed in the meantime. Once the lab has sent your crown back to the dental office, you would have to come back in for your second appointment to have the permanent crown bonded to your tooth.
This long and complicated process is now simplified with the use of CEREC technology. Using the CEREC system, your damaged tooth will be prepared and sealed as usual. However, instead of taking impressions, Dr. Vacek uses 3D images to create your crown. These images are then sent to our in-office CAD/CAM software, where Dr. Vacek creates your custom crown. As a cosmetic dentist in Waverly, he will create the crown based on your individual size, color, and shape specifications to ensure the restoration blends in seamlessly with your natural teeth.
After your crown has been designed, the information is then sent to the in-office milling machine. The milling machine will create your custom crown from a single block of composite resin material. In less than an hour, your new restoration will be ready to be bonded to your tooth.
Although the crown is created in our office and in less than an hour, you will benefit from high-quality results. Using 3D images, Dr. Vacek is able to provide a more precise crown with less room for error. You will have the exact crown you need in just one day.
