Same Day Dental Crowns (CEREC) is a revolutionary dental technology that allows dentists to design, manufacture, and place dental crowns in a single dental visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns.
What Is Same Day Dental Crowns (CEREC)?
Same Day Dental Crowns (CEREC) refers to a dental technology known as Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC). It is a cutting-edge system that allows dental professionals at Belmont Dental Surgery to create and place dental restorations, such as crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays, in just one appointment.
CEREC Workflow Process
The CEREC workflow at Belmont Dental Surgery involves a seamless and efficient process. By eliminating the need for traditional dental impressions and laboratory work, this advanced system streamlines the treatment process while ensuring precise and durable results.
Digital Scanning
The CEREC process begins with the dentist using a 3D digital scanner to capture detailed images of the patient’s teeth and oral structures. This digital scanning technology replaces the conventional messy and uncomfortable dental impressions, providing a more pleasant experience for the patient. The scanner generates a highly accurate 3D model of the patient’s mouth, which serves as the foundation for the entire treatment process.
Restoration Design
With the digital impressions in hand, the dentist uses specialised CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to create a virtual model of the dental restoration. This involves precisely designing the shape, size, and contours of the restoration to ensure an ideal fit and natural appearance. The software allows for customisation and fine-tuning based on the patient’s unique dental needs.
Milling Process
Once the restoration design is finalised, it is sent to the CEREC milling unit, which utilises advanced CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. The milling machine crafts the dental restoration from a solid ceramic block that closely matches the colour and translucency of the patient’s natural teeth. The entire milling process usually takes just a few minutes.
Shade Matching
Before finalising the restoration, the dentist performs a shade matching process to ensure the ceramic material closely matches the patient’s natural tooth colour. This step contributes to the restoration’s aesthetic appeal, seamlessly blending it with the surrounding teeth.
Final Adjustments
Once the restoration is milled, the dentist makes any necessary adjustments to achieve a perfect fit and bite alignment. This ensures optimal functionality and comfort for the patient. The ability to make real-time adjustments is a significant advantage of the CEREC workflow, as any modifications can be done immediately, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
Bonding the Restoration
After the restoration is refined and polished, it is ready to be bonded to the prepared tooth. The dentist applies dental adhesive to ensure a strong bond between the restoration and the tooth structure. With precise placement, the restoration is securely attached to the tooth.
Polishing and Finishing
Once the restoration is bonded, the dentist performs final polishing and finishing touches to achieve a smooth and natural appearance. The restoration blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, creating a beautiful and functional result.
