How Same-Day CEREC Crown Technology Works

The CEREC crown technology revolutionizes the traditional crown process by condensing weeks of waiting into just hours. Using advanced CAD/CAM dental technology, we create permanent, natural-looking dental crowns or bridges in a single appointment. The process begins with digital impressions of your teeth, which are far more comfortable than traditional messy impression materials. These precise digital measurements are instantly transferred to our computer system, where your crown is designed to exact specifications.

Once designed, our advanced CEREC milling machine carves your new restoration from a solid block of tooth-colored ceramic material. This creates a durable, metal-free restoration that perfectly matches your natural teeth. While traditional crowns require sending impressions to external dental laboratories, our on-site lab eliminates this delay, transforming what was once a weeks-long process into a single, comfortable and convenient treatment session.

Benefits of Same-Day Dental Restorations

The immediate advantage of same-day crowns is obvious—you walk out with your permanent restoration in place. This eliminates the discomfort and inconvenience of wearing temporary crowns, which can fall off or cause sensitivity. Your tooth is fully protected and functional immediately, allowing you to resume normal chewing and speaking comfortably the same day.

Digital technology ensures exceptional precision in the fit of your restoration. The computerized design and milling process create crowns and bridges that match your natural teeth with remarkable accuracy, both in function and appearance. This precision contributes to the longevity of your restoration, making CEREC crowns and bridges some of the longest-lasting dental restorations available.

When Same-Day Crowns Are Needed

Same-day crowns provide immediate solutions for a variety of dental emergencies and restorative needs. When teeth are damaged due to decay, fractures, or trauma, crowns protect weakened teeth and restore their full function. For patients with broken teeth, same-day repair means you don’t have to endure embarrassment or discomfort while waiting for a permanent solution.

Our emergency dental crown repair services in Charleston provide immediate assistance when you experience unexpected dental trauma. Whether from an accident, a sports injury, or a failed crown, we can typically restore your tooth structure in one visit. This immediate attention not only preserves your appearance but also prevents further damage that can occur when compromised teeth are left unprotected.

Dental Bridges in One Visit

Traditional bridge procedures typically require multiple appointments, with waiting periods of several weeks between visits. Our same-day bridge technology condenses this timeline dramatically. For patients missing one or more teeth, we can create a custom bridge that attaches to supporting teeth on either side of the gap, restoring both appearance and function in a single appointment.

The bridge procedure begins with the preparation of the supporting teeth, followed by digital scanning that precisely captures the dimensions of your mouth. Using our CEREC technology, we design and mill your custom bridge from high-quality ceramic material, ensuring it fits perfectly within your dental arch. After careful color matching and final adjustments, your bridge is permanently bonded in place during a single visit.

The Value of Same-Day Dental Care

The efficiency of same-day restorations translates to significant value. By eliminating the need for multiple visits, you save time and reduce time away from work or family commitments. The elimination of temporary crowns also means fewer complications and adjustments, resulting in a more streamlined experience and potentially lower overall costs.

Our patients particularly appreciate avoiding the inconvenience of wearing temporary crowns or bridges, which can restrict diet and often don’t look or feel like natural teeth. With same-day solutions, you skip this uncomfortable interim period entirely. Additionally, our digital impression technology eliminates the need for messy traditional impression materials, making the entire process more comfortable from start to finish.
