Do you need a dental crown in Sacramento, California? When thinking of crown restorations, you may be hesitant because, traditionally, the process takes several weeks and multiple appointments to complete.Â
Good news! Gone are the days when dental crowns used to span several weeks. Thanks to CEREC technology, dental offices like Arden Park Dental Care can design and place your dental crowns in one appointment. CEREC same-day crowns allow Dr. Shahnaz L. Formoli to restore your smile in one day, saving you unnecessary pain and multiple trips to a dentist.Â
Same-day dental crowns work like traditional crowns but are faster and more precise fitting. Like standard crowns, Dr. Formoli may recommend a dental crown to:
The process starts with a comprehensive exam to determine if your tooth only needs a dental crown. If yes, we’ll gently remove a small amount of enamel to create space for the crown’s thickness. Of course, this tooth preparation happens after numbing your gums to minimize pain.
Next, the dentist digitally scans your teeth with a small handheld scanner put in your mouth. Unlike goop-based impressions, an intraoral scanner is comfortable, faster, and generates super-accurate scans for a superior restoration.
CEREC technology allows us to design your crown with ultimate precision. The system uses a computer-aided design (CAD) unit to design your crown, considering your tooth’s size, shape, color, and texture. CEREC technology designs your crown to your tooth’s specifications to ensure it fits and looks natural.
After your crown design is approved, we send the image to our in-house milling machine, which carves your restoration from a ceramic block in just 15 minutes. Once your crown is ready, we’ll make a few adjustments before using dental cement to bond your crown permanently to your tooth.
CEREC dental crowns are created from all ceramic materials. Unlike crowns laced with metal, ceramic crowns offer life-looking results, delivering undetectable outcomes.Â
You’ll love CEREC dental crowns because they offer numerous benefits.
Some include:
Since single-visit crowns are created with speed, many patients assume they are not high-quality. Just because your CEREC crowns are done in one visit, it doesn’t mean you sacrifice quality. CEREC dental crowns are like standard crowns but faster. In reality, they often provide a superior fit due to their advanced design, which precisely matches the color and contours of your natural teeth.
What’s more, CEREC crowns are strong and resilient. You’ll enjoy them for years with proper maintenance.
CEREC dental crowns are a great way to restore aesthetics and function without the traditional wait. To learn whether you are an ideal candidate for CEREC dental crowns, call (916) 280-0988 to schedule an appointment with Arden Park Dental Care today.
