One Visit CEREC Crowns with Dr. Nugent

Do you have a severely decayed, chipped, or cracked tooth? At our Pasadena Dental Office, we have invested in a groundbreaking technology that can help you restore your smile’s appearance and strength in just one visit. This technology is known as CEREC. It is a combination of digital teeth scanning, computer designing and CNC milling. Dr. Nugent can scan, design, mill, and place a completely personalized crown in one appointment. Thus, so leave our office with your permanent restoration in place. This is better than the old fashioned way. Let us help you get back to your normal life again.

The Old Fashioned Crown:

The old fashioned way to make a dental crown takes at least two visits. At the first visit, the dentist will prepare the patient’s tooth. Then several impressions are made with a gagging and messy material. Then a temporary plastic tooth is made and cemented on with temporary cement. This temporary crown is not ideally contoured and is not perfectly smooth. Therefore, it is a constant irrigation to the tongue.  You must be careful and not eat anything hard on the plastic tooth or else you can fracture the crown. Also, no sticky foods as you can pull the plastic crown off the tooth. After several weeks the patient comes back to the office and the patient may or may not have to get numb for the dentist to work on the tooth. The new crown is put on the tooth and checked. Hopefully everything is good. If so, the crown is cemented into place. If the crown does not fit the whole processes of impression and wearing a plastic temp tooth starts over. Furthermore, because the temporary crown is held on with temporary cement the crown often comes off. That means a emergency visit to the dentist.

Dr. Nugent will remove the need for a follow up visit.  Your tooth will be prepared and then have a custom made crown all in one visit. While you rest, play on your phone or surf the internet with our free WiFi Dr. Nugent will be designing your crown. Then we will mill your restoration from durable, high-quality ceramic.

How CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns Have Revolutionized Dentistry

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology has brought a transformative change to the field of dentistry, particularly when it comes to dental crowns. Traditional dental crowns typically require multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and a waiting period for the permanent restoration to be made in an external lab. With CEREC same-day dental crowns, this process is streamlined, allowing patients to receive their custom crown in just one visit. This innovation has revolutionized both the patient experience and the way dentists deliver care.

1. Faster Treatment, Immediate Results

The most significant advantage of CEREC technology is the ability to receive a custom dental crown in just one appointment. Using advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, dentists can design, mill, and place a ceramic crown all within a single visit. This eliminates the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns, which are prone to discomfort and can sometimes dislodge while waiting for the permanent crown. Patients can walk into the office with a damaged tooth and leave the same day with a fully restored, beautiful smile.

2. Precision and Customization

CEREC crowns are designed using digital impressions, which are far more accurate than traditional putty molds. The dentist uses a 3D scanner to capture a detailed image of the affected tooth, ensuring a perfect fit for the crown. The digital design is then sent to the in-office milling machine, which creates the crown from a block of high-quality ceramic. This precise process not only ensures a comfortable fit but also enhances the crown’s durability and aesthetic appeal.

3. No Temporary Crowns

In traditional crown procedures, patients often have to wear a temporary crown while waiting for the permanent one to be made in a lab. Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable, and there’s always a risk they may break or come loose before the permanent one is placed. With CEREC, temporary crowns are no longer needed. Patients leave the office with their permanent, custom-made crown on the same day, avoiding the inconvenience and potential discomfort of temporary solutions.

4. Aesthetic and Durable Results

CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic, a material that closely resembles the natural look and translucency of tooth enamel. This means the crown not only restores the function of the tooth but also blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. In addition, ceramic is a durable material that can withstand the pressures of chewing and grinding, making CEREC crowns both strong and long-lasting.

5. Improved Patient Comfort and Convenience

One of the most appealing aspects of CEREC same-day crowns is the convenience it offers to patients. Busy individuals no longer need to schedule multiple visits or take time off from work for a follow-up appointment. The entire crown process—from scanning to design to placement—can be completed in just a few hours. For many patients, this efficient approach reduces stress and enhances their overall experience at the dentist.

6. Advanced Technology for Modern Dentistry

CEREC is part of the broader movement in dentistry toward using advanced technology to improve patient outcomes. By incorporating digital impressions, 3D modeling, and in-office milling, CEREC represents a shift toward more precise, efficient, and comfortable treatments. For patients with chipped, cracked, or decayed teeth, CEREC crowns provide a fast, effective solution that restores both the function and appearance of their smile in a single visit.

In conclusion, CEREC same-day dental crowns have revolutionized dentistry by providing a fast, convenient, and highly effective way to restore damaged teeth. With no need for temporary crowns, multiple appointments, or long waiting periods, patients can enjoy immediate results with long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing crowns. This modern approach to dental care offers an unprecedented level of comfort and efficiency, making it a game-changer for both patients and dentists.
