At Acre Wood Dental in Gatesville, TX, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced and convenient dental care available. We understand that your time is precious, and waiting weeks for a dental crown often won't fit into our patients' busy schedules. That's why we are proud to offer the cutting-edge convenience of CEREC same-day dental crowns. This revolutionary technology allows us to create and place your high-quality, permanent ceramic crown in a single visit, saving you time, hassle, and the need for multiple dental visits.
Same-Day Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are typically recommended to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a tooth that has become damaged or weakened. Crowns can also support dental bridges and seal dental implants. Traditionally, getting a dental crown involved at least two appointments spread over several weeks. The process included messy impressions, wearing a temporary crown that could be uncomfortable or even fall off, and a waiting period while your permanent crown was fabricated in an off-site lab.
Thanks to CEREC at Acre Wood Dental, your dental crown will be placed in a single, streamlined appointment, typically lasting around two hours. During this single appointment, we'll take you from the initial preparation of your tooth to the secure placement of your final crown restoration.
The CEREC Same-Day Crown Process
The CEREC system begins with a comfortable and quick digital scan of your prepared tooth. Using advanced imaging tools, our team will capture highly accurate 3D digital images of your tooth and surrounding structures. This process is far more pleasant than traditional goopy impressions, and it creates a precise 3D digital model of your tooth directly on our computer screen.
Once the digital impression is complete, our team will use sophisticated CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. We'll custom-design your crown to provide the optimal fit, bite alignment, and aesthetics. After the design is finalized and approved, the digital blueprint is sent wirelessly to our in-office CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) milling unit. Your permanent crown will be crafted from durable, tooth-colored ceramic material. We carefully select the ceramic to perfectly match the shade of your surrounding teeth, ensuring your new crown blends with your natural smile.
Your dentist will then permanently bond your new dental crown securely to your prepared tooth. This entire process, from digital impression to final placement, occurs in one visit, offering fast results and the ultimate convenience for your smile.
