Rebuild Your Smile’s Function and Aesthetics with CEREC Single-visit Dental Crowns
If your tooth is badly damaged or decayed in such a way that a filling isn’t strong enough to support it, Dr. Don Mungcal will likely recommend a dental crown. Also known as a dental cap, a dental crown is a tooth-shaped appliance custom-made to fit over the existing structure of a decayed or broken tooth to enhance its health and appearance.
Traditionally, dental crown treatment involves several trips to a dentist over several weeks. Beachside Smiles in Manhattan Beach, California, offers CEREC dental crowns, allowing us to rebuild your smile in one visit. With our state-of-the-art dental crowns, we’ll restore your smile without metal, ill-fitting temporaries, or multiple dental trips. Everything from planning to placement is completed as you wait!
Same Day Crowns (CEREC) – Real Patients, Real Results
Understanding CEREC same-day dental crowns
CEREC dentistry is a marvel of dental technology that allows dentists like Dr. Mungcal to restore your smile in less than two hours! Typically, this process can take weeks (and sometimes months) and several in-between dental appointments, prolonging discomfort and inconvenience.
Our office understands your need for instant gratification when you want your smile restored. We have invested in CEREC crowns to ensure we can rebuild your smile in no time.
These are the simple steps involved when restoring your smile with a same-day crown.
- Inspecting your tooth to ensure a crown is sufficient for restoration
- Removing a bit of the tooth structure from the tooth
- Using a digital scanner to create an impression of your tooth — expect no gooey, uncomfortable molds
- Uploading the digital scans to the computer-assisted (CAD) design unit to design your restoration
- Sending the approved crown design to an in-house milling machine that fabricates your crown within 15-20 minutes
- Cementing your new crown to the prepped tooth using strong dental adhesives
That’s all there is to it! No need for additional visits. With CEREC crowns, you can leave our office with a stunning restoration. This implies that if you fracture your tooth in the morning, you could have a completely new smile by evening! Such unparalleled convenience is hard to find.
Benefits of CEREC crowns
Besides fast turnaround and convenience, CEREC crowns offer other benefits like:
- Better fit and comfort: CEREC crowns are created from advanced technology that offers superior precision to make restorations that fit perfectly and snugly. A superior fit doesn’t leave any spaces between your teeth, sealing out harmful bacteria
- No temporaries: Same-day crowns allow you to leave our office with the real deal. This way, we don’t have to restore your smile with ill-fitting, provisional crowns.
- Metal-free restorations: CEREC crowns are all-ceramic, ensuring a beautiful, toxic-free smile enhancement
- Fewer anesthesia shots: When rebuilding your smile with a CEREC crown, you only need one anesthesia shot during tooth preparation. Fewer injections are good news for patients, especially those with a fear of needles (trypanophobia)
