VP Dental offers durable CEREC® same-day crowns in Raleigh, NC, to help restore damaged teeth and improve your smile. These restorations are made from long-lasting materials that blend well with your natural teeth. As the name suggests, CEREC® crowns can restore your smile in one dental appointment.

What are CEREC® Same-day Crowns?

CEREC® crowns are dental restorations permanently attached to the damaged, discolored, or infected tooth. These crowns look like caps and are often used to protect a tooth from further damage when dental fillings or bonding can no longer be a solution.

If you have a busy schedule and require a dental repair to fix your smile, CEREC® same-day crowns are the best option. These dental crowns are made in a single dental appointment, whereas traditional crowns often require two sessions separated by two weeks. In just two hours, you will have your damaged tooth restored and be able to smile with confidence.

CEREC® crowns are made from a 3D model of your mouth, which is captured using an intraoral camera and computer-aided design (CAD). The computer, where the model is stored, is connected to a milling machine, which creates the dental crown. You will have a new restoration ready in a few hours.

What are CEREC® Crowns for?

One of the most common procedures here at VP Dental is placing a dental crown. Dr. Preston will place CEREC® crowns to help out with many different dental health problems. Some of those include:

  • Covering a dental implant.
  • Making a cosmetic modification.
  • Protecting a broken tooth or one that has been severely worn down.
  • Covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
  • Protecting a weak tooth from decay or holding parts of a cracked tooth together.
  • Restoring an already broken tooth from further damage.
  • Holding in a dental bridge.

What Are Cerec® Crowns Made From?

Crowns are made from different types of material. Early in dentistry, crowns were made from metals and stainless steel. Here at VP Dental, Cerec® same-day crowns are made from porcelain. We recommend porcelain because of its strength and cosmetic appeal. Porcelain provides a better color match than other materials. It is also better for people who have metal allergies.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

Cerec® crowns last 10-15 years, depending on the amount of wear and tear and your oral health habits. With proper care, they can last for up to 30 years. After we place your dental crown, you’ll want to avoid chewing ice and other hard materials, grinding your teeth, biting your fingernails, and opening packages with your teeth. This will help your crown last as long as possible.
