The dentist will present various material options, such as porcelain or ceramic, tailored to your aesthetic and functional preferences. Throughout the process, patient comfort is paramount; the team will ensure you feel at ease and informed.
Digital Impressions Explained
Digital impressions have completely transformed how dentists make crowns, making the process more accurate and enhancing the overall patient experience. This advanced technology captures every detail of your teeth with precision, resulting in superior outcomes compared to traditional methods. One of the best things about it is how efficient it is; you\’ll spend less time in the dental chair and still get top-notch results.
Of course, like anything new, there are some drawbacks. Some dentists might need a bit of time to get used to the technology. However, the benefits far outweigh any challenges. The digital workflow makes your visit more comfortable by eliminating messy materials and reducing the time you spend in the chair. By embracing this technology, you can enjoy a smoother, quicker process that ultimately gives you a perfectly fitting crown and a more satisfying dental visit.

Milling the Crown
Often, the milling process is where the transformation from digital design to a physical crown occurs. Utilizing advanced CEREC technology, your crown is precisely carved from a high-quality ceramic block. This process ensures exceptional crown durability, allowing for same day crowns that fit seamlessly into your dental restoration.
As the milling machine operates, it meticulously shapes the crown, ensuring that it meets the specifications required for optimal function and aesthetics. The precision of the milling process contributes significantly to crown longevity, reducing the likelihood of wear or damage over time.
You’ll appreciate the efficiency and effectiveness of this method, knowing you’re receiving a reliable solution tailored to your unique dental needs.
Final Placement and Adjustment
After the milling process, you’ll move on to the final placement and adjustment of your CEREC crown.
During this phase, your dentist will perform the crown fitting, ensuring a precise match to your existing teeth. The chairside placement allows for immediate adjustments, enhancing comfort and functionality.
Your dentist will assess the bite alignment, checking how your upper and lower teeth interact. If any discrepancies are found, the adjustment process will begin, involving minor modifications to achieve a perfect fit.
Once the crown is positioned correctly, your dentist will carry out the final adjustments, solidifying the crown’s stability and aesthetic appeal. This meticulous attention to detail ensures your CEREC crown serves you well for years to come.
Post-Procedure Care
Taking care of your CEREC crown after the procedure is super important to keep it in top shape. The key is to maintain excellent oral hygiene, so be sure to brush and floss gently but thoroughly around the crown. You might have to watch what you eat in the beginning, avoiding hard or sticky foods that could mess with the crown.
If you experience any discomfort, no worries! You can manage it with over-the-counter pain relievers, just like your dentist recommends. And don\’t forget to schedule those follow-up appointments to make sure your crown is doing well and to address any concerns you might have.
For the long haul, it\’s all about staying on top of regular dental check-ups and keeping up with your oral hygiene routine. This way, your crown will stay functional and looking great for years to come.
