Enjoy The Convenience of Dentistry with CEREC One-visit Dental Crowns

You live a busy life. What if you need a dental crown to fix your broken tooth? While your oral health is a priority, requiring you to make several dental appointments for a traditional dental crown may seem too much to ask. But did you know a dentist in Claremont, California, can place a crown in one simple visit? 

With state-of-the-art digital CEREC technology, Dr. David Seccombe of Courtyard Dentistry can plan, design, and place a crown in one day! No multiple appointments and no temporaries – just one convenient visit!

The process of getting a CEREC dental crown

CEREC, in full Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic, uses digital scanning and 3D technology to create restorations in one appointment. Like traditional crowns, the process starts with a consultation to determine if a crown is the best treatment. If yes, we numb your mouth and carefully remove any decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. Then, we reshape your tooth to accommodate your crown.

The next step is taking your bite impressions. CEREC is all digital. Instead of messy physical impressions, we use a comfortable, super-accurate digital camera to take precise imprints of your teeth and surrounding structures. Then, using a computer-assisted design (CAD) unit, we design your crown that matches your unique tooth specifications. The CAD technology displays results conveniently on a chairside screen, so you can watch and even give feedback as we design your crown.

Finally, we send the images to an in-house milling machine that carves your crown from a ceramic block. Unlike conventional crowns, sending your crown design to an offsite dental lab is not needed. We fabricate your crown right here in our office as you wait! 

Once your crown is ready, we only make a few final touches because your restoration is created with ultimate precision. The last step is to bond your crown permanently to your tooth using dental cement. That’s it! You are done! You can now eat, smile, and talk confidently with your newly restored smile.

The many benefits of CEREC dental crowns

Will you love CEREC same-day dentistry? Of course, you will. Let’s tell you why. 

• Ultimate convenience: When you hear us say same-day dentistry, we aren’t kidding. Dr. Seccombe takes a few hours – not even a day – to craft your crown. What’s better than instant gratification? Single-visit crowns transform your smile in hours
• No temporaries: One massive drawback of traditional crowns is the need to wear a temporary crown while waiting for your permanent one. This provisional restoration doesn’t fit perfectly, so you must be careful when eating, as it can fall out! With CEREC crowns, you get the actual thing the same day. No need to “nurse” temporaries. And you only need one anesthesia shot. This is good news for patients with the fear of needles
• Comfortable impressions: CEREC dentistry uses a digital scanner to take your bite impressions. There is no room for physical impressions using gooey materials
• Custom-designed restoration: Single-visit restorations aren’t all about speed – this technology also delivers super-accurate crowns that blend beautifully with your smile

Want to restore your smile with a crown? Thanks to single-visit crowns, what used to take several appointments spanning weeks can now take just a few hours. You can be in and out of our office in two hours, instead of several visits.
