Same-day dentistry is a state-of-the-art service that allows your dentist to custom-design, create, and apply your crowns in just one hour. The team at Santa Monica Bay Dental uses the cutting-edge CEREC system to fit and print your crowns in their office, eliminating the wait times of sending impressions to and from an outside lab.
CEREC stands for “CERamic REConstruction.” With the CEREC system, you don’t have to bite down on uncomfortable molds. Instead, your dentist takes digital photos of your teeth and gums.
The digital impressions then go to a 3D printer that’s right in the Santa Monica Bay Dental office. Your dentists use same-day dentistry to create:
If you wish, you can watch your prosthesis as it’s created right before your eyes.
A dental crown slips over your natural tooth to protect it after it’s been broken, chipped, or damaged. Your dentist applies a crown after root canal therapy or if you have a filling that’s too large for your natural tooth to support on its own. Your dentist also uses crowns to attach a dental bridge to the abutment teeth.
Even if your teeth aren’t damaged, you might choose a crown to improve your smile. Crowns cover misshapen and discolored teeth, instantly improving their appearance.
With CEREC, you don’t need temporary crowns anymore. You get your custom-designed, custom-made crown right on the spot. Within one hour, your smile is completely restored. Because your dentist fits and applies permanent crown right away, you don’t even need a follow-up appointment.
Your CEREC crown, partial crown, or veneer lasts for up to 10 years. They’re just as durable as a ceramic crown from the lab.
The biggest advantage of same-day dentistry is the time it saves you. Instead of coming in for multiple visits, you only need one hour. Other advantages include:
