Same Day Crown Q & A

What is a CEREC machine?

CEREC is a machine that uses computer-aided design technology to take digital scans of your teeth. The information from this imaging device is used by your dentist to create metal-free crowns, inlays, or onlays in-office. This process is easier and quicker than relying on a dental lab to produce restorations from molds. With a CEREC machine, only a single dental visit is required, saving you time and money.

Who benefits from a CEREC machine?

A CEREC machine is useful anytime you require a dental filling, crown, inlay, or onlay because of:

  • Tooth decay
  • A chipped tooth
  • Cracked teeth
  • A broken filling or crown
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Discolored teeth
  • An inflamed or painful tooth

By using a CEREC machine, the dentists at Skyview Dentistry avoid the need for temporary dental restorations and repair your tooth the same day as your initial appointment.

What should I expect during my appointment?

When you arrive for an appointment at Skyview Dentistry, your dentist examines your teeth and gums and uses X-rays to determine the severity of a cavity or other tooth problem. If you require a dental restoration, they digitally scan your teeth using special CEREC technology. The process is fast and painless.

Your dentist uses a CEREC machine to produce crowns, inlays, or onlays that match the color and shape of your surrounding natural teeth. They clean the treatment area, prepare the tooth, and place a long-lasting dental restoration securely on your tooth to protect it.

Am I a good candidate for CEREC same-day restorations?

Your dentist lets you know which dental restorations best match your needs based on the type and severity of your tooth damage. Unless you have severe tooth decay requiring advanced dental treatments, chances are you can benefit from CEREC same-day restorations.

After receiving a crown or other dental restoration with CEREC technology, be sure to brush your teeth twice daily, floss every day, and avoid chewing on hard objects like popcorn kernels, hard candies, and ice. See the Skyview Dentistry team regularly for routine cleanings and exams.

Don’t put off going to the dentist when simple, same-day CEREC dental restorations are available at Skyview Dentistry. Schedule an appointment over the phone or online to learn more.
