Same Day CEREC Crowns

Restorative Dentistry: Same Day CEREC Crowns

Mend Dental is proud to offer the revolutionary CEREC technology for same-day crowns, blending innovation with efficiency to restore your smile in a single visit. This advanced dental procedure allows us to design, create, and fit ceramic crowns within hours, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns.

What is CEREC?

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a state-of-the-art dental technology that utilises computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to offer a fast, reliable solution for dental restorations. With CEREC, we can produce high-quality ceramic crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers in one office visit.

Benefits of Same Day CEREC Crowns

Efficiency and Convenience

The most significant advantage of CEREC crowns is the ability to restore your damaged tooth in a single appointment, saving you time and the inconvenience of follow-up visits.

High-Quality Materials

CEREC uses durable, tooth-coloured ceramic materials that closely match the composition of natural tooth structure, ensuring a blend of strength, durability, and aesthetics.

Comfortable Procedure

Digital impressions used in the CEREC process replace putty materials, which many patients find more comfortable, particularly with a strong gag reflex.

Precise and Custom-Fit

The precision of CEREC technology allows a close, accurate fit for your crown, which your dentist checks before bonding.

The CEREC Procedure

  • Consultation and Examination: We begin with a thorough examination of the affected tooth to determine the best treatment approach.
  • Preparation: The tooth is prepared for restoration, involving the removal of decay and shaping the tooth to receive the crown.
  • Digital Impressions: Using CEREC’s 3D imaging technology, we take a digital impression of your tooth, which is more comfortable and accurate than traditional methods.
  • Design and Creation: The CEREC software transforms the digital model into a three-dimensional virtual restoration. The design is then sent to the in-office milling machine, where your crown is carved out of a ceramic block.
  • Placement: Once the crown is ready, it’s checked for fit and colour match. Any necessary adjustments are made before the crown is polished and bonded to your tooth.
