At Indy Dental Health, we combine advanced technology with personalized care to provide our patients with efficient and high-quality dental solutions. One of our most innovative offerings is same-day dental crowns using CEREC technology. Dr. Matthew Fraiz, Dr. Brian Fraiz, and Dr. Mallory Griffith are skilled dentists who prioritize your convenience and comfort while ensuring exceptional results.
What Are Same-Day Dental Crowns?
Traditional dental crowns typically require multiple appointments and temporary restorations while the final crown is crafted in an external lab. With CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), we can create and place custom crowns in a single visit. This state-of-the-art technology uses 3D imaging and computer-aided design (CAD) to design and mill your crown in-office, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits.
The Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns
- Time-Saving Convenience: Complete your crown placement in just one appointment.
- High-Quality Materials: CEREC crowns are made from durable, tooth-colored ceramic that mimics the appearance of natural enamel.
- Customized Fit: Digital impressions ensure precise measurements for a secure and comfortable fit.
- No Temporary Crowns: You leave with your permanent crown on the same day, avoiding the hassle of temporary restorations.
- Natural Appearance: CEREC crowns are color-matched to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
The Process
The process begins with a digital scan of your tooth, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions. Using the scan, our dentists will design your crown with CAD software, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance. The crown is then milled from high-quality ceramic using a specialized machine right in our office. After the crown is ready, it is bonded securely to your tooth, restoring its function and appearance.
