Designing & Placing Same Day Dental Crowns With CEREC

The first step in fitting and placing same day crowns with CEREC is to prepare the tooth receiving the crown. The mouth will be numbed and the decay on the affected tooth will be removed. Dr. Spaniel is very meticulous when removing damage, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Once the tooth is ready, Dr. Spaniel will use a digital camera to scan the tooth and mouth. CAD-CAM technology will use the digital images captured by the camera to create a three-dimensional model of the planned restoration to fit your exact measurements and specifications. You and Dr. Spaniel will choose the color for your restoration that most closely matches your surrounding teeth, so your crown blends in seamlessly.

Once the color, shape, size and other details of the crown have been selected, the CEREC milling unit will create your crown from a block of porcelain. This process takes only a few minutes. Once the restoration is ready, Dr. Spaniel will use the digital map created by the CEREC system to position it in your mouth. The dentist will check your bite and make any small adjustments to the crown before bonding it into place. The final step is to polish the crown for a beautiful and translucent appearance.
