Same-Day Crowns In Waterdown

Gone are the days of tedious appointments, multiple dental visits, and annoying temporary crowns. Same-day dentistry has revolutionized the dental experience for patients. Now you can walk-out of the dental office on the day of consultation with a smile makeover consisting of same day-crowns. Same-day crowns in Waterdown use the cutting-edge technology of CEREC to fabricate beautiful dental crowns chairside on the very same day as the tooth shaping. Thus a dental crown made in the dental office with a computerized mill is known as a “same-day crown,” a CEREC crown, or a milled crown.

Let’s understand the science behind same day crowns

Chair side Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic, or CEREC, can fabricate same-day crowns, saving both patients and dentists a ton of time. A 3D image of your teeth, the other teeth and gums around it is taken using a small camera. On the basis of this 3D image, the computer uses computer-aided design and computer-assisted milling (CAD/CAM) software to first prepare a design or blueprint of the dental crown.

The dentist confirms the design prior to the fabrication. A computer milling machine will then produce your custom crown. The options available to your dentist will allow for better crown customization and a precise color match.

The step by step procedure for Same-day crowns in Waterdown

Examination and preparation of the tooth:

The concerned tooth is examined. The gums around the tooth should be healthy from a prior scaling appointment. Also, the RCT related pain / discomfort should have subsided. The remaining decay is removed and duly filled with cement.

Tooth preparation

A series of different instruments are used to shape the tooth to an adequate height and length. Enough clarity and prominent tooth margins are important to be detectable by the 3D camera.

The 3D scanner

The dentist then uses a 3D intra-oral scanner to take a digital impression of the prepared tooth and its surrounding structures, including the teeth and the opposing tooth. The data is then fed into the CEREC system.

The CEREC

The machine uses CAD/CAM technology to first design the crown. The dentist confirms the design and shade of the ceramic crown. The design is then sent to the milling unit, which starts cutting porcelain blocks to fabricate the same day crowns. The dental crown is then finished and polished.

The crown fixing

The dentist places the dental crown on the tooth, makes the necessary alterations, and does the final polishing. The dentist then fixes the dental crown with permanent cement.

Factors to be considered when fabricating same day crowns:

Any orthodontic appliances to be combined with the dental crown
