Before, it would take multiple weeks to get a dental crown when you had a damaged or structurally compromised tooth. Today, it doesn\u2019t take nearly as long to get what you need to protect your tooth because of CEREC Same-Day Crowns<\/a>. With the CEREC system, you can have a custom-made crown in a small fraction of the time. Read on to learn more about the creation process and how long it takes for your crown to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Is a CEREC Crown Made?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making a CEREC crown is a relatively simple process. First, a three-dimensional impression is taken of your teeth with the use of a small camera. The entire impression is made digitally, so there is no need for you to bit into a mold. After this, the CEREC machine uses computer-aided design and manufacturing to fabricate the tooth from a block of porcelain. Because photos and computer models are so accurate, the crown is made to your dentist\u2019s exact specifications. Once the crown is made, it is then glazed and color-matched to be the exact shade of your surrounding teeth. Lastly, your dentist places your permanent crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only takes a few minutes for your dentist to place the crown when it is complete, and then you will be on your way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are the Benefits of CEREC Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CEREC crowns are just as reliable and durable, but they are so much quicker to make and attach than traditional crowns. Crowns typically last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, but can last even longer with proper care. This type of crown is made from porcelain, the preferred material for crowns and veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
