How Same-Day Crowns Work At FLOSS Dallas
If you have ever had a crown in the past, you probably remember having to wear a temporary crown for a week or more while your permanent restoration was crafted in a dental lab. At our office, our dentists, Dr. Udunka, and our team offer CEREC same-day crowns in Dallas, Texas, so you do not have to wait to enjoy your new smile.
How The CEREC Same Day Crown Process Works
We use a special computerized tooth creation technology called CEREC. This digital system works from imaging to production in a short time in our own office. You can read more about each step below.
A Camera Instead of Messy Impressions
After we prepare your tooth, we use this ultraprecise camera that takes a digital image of your tooth. This eliminates the need for messy putty and impression materials that most patients hate – including the gag-inducing feeling of a tray in your mouth.
This image takes into account exactly how your tooth should look and how your bite should feel. The image is then uploaded to a computer that designs the porcelain crown for your tooth.
A 3-D Tooth Printer Mills Your Tooth in Less than 12 Minutes!
Two specialized diamond burrs or points actually mill the tooth that we design from a block of solid porcelain while you wait. This milling is done fully in our own office. We do not have to send anything to a dental lab because the 3-D tooth printer literally “prints out” your tooth in less than 12 minutes. With CEREC technology, we can mill your unique crown while you wait in the dental chair!
Preserving your unique aesthetic, you can even select the porcelain color for crafting your tooth. This ensures seamless blending of your new dental crown with your existing teeth. With complete control over the entire process, we offer you convenient, tailor-made porcelain crowns!
Once the new crown is bonded to your tooth, your restored smile is ready to leave our office—no temporary crowns and no need for a second appointment! While a follow-up visit is always welcomed, the high-quality dental crown designed to meet your needs might render it unnecessary.
This streamlined process enables us to provide same-day crowns, allowing you to return to your busy life swiftly. We appreciate how CEREC facilitates same-day crowns, and we're confident you will too!
