Same Day Crowns San FranciscoSame Day Crowns (CEREC) provided by San Francisco Dental Arts in San Francisco, CA  In recent years, CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) has become a worthy rival to the traditional crown. Same Day Crowns in San Francisco: What Are They?CEREC crowns are an alternative type of dental crown that uses CAD/CAM technology to create a synthetic tooth for the patient. San Francisco Dental Arts is fortunate enough to offer CEREC crowns to its patients with the latest CEREC technology. Our qualified dentist can fit a new crown within an appointment of 2 hours, highlighting the benefits of speed and convenience. Patients receiving a new restoration with a CEREC crown will not have to wait 2 weeks for the dental lab to create their custom crowns. For those who are anxious about dental procedures, this method of tooth restoration can be greatly relieving. The Same Day Crown ProcedureThe impacted tooth will be identified and examined, with our dentist checking the affected tooth to assess its condition and need for a crown; this could be for several reasons, from tooth decay to a chip or crack. The dentist will then clean the damaged tooth, clearing out any plaque or tartar. They will file and shape the tooth to be ready for the crown, removing any tooth decay or harmful bacteria from the damaged tooth, and preventing it from spreading further in the mouth. The steps involved in the same-day crown procedure streamline the entire process into a single visit, making it a quicker and more efficient option for patients. Restorative Dentistry In A Single VisitThe tooth is now ready for the CEREC process to begin. Our dentist will ask what shade of white you’d like the tooth to be, in order to match it as closely to your natural tooth, as possible. Our dentist will take 3D images of the tooth, so no dental putty is needed, and a model of healthy tooth structure and the teeth will be uploaded to the computer. This digital scanning technology eliminates the need for traditional dental impressions, enhancing patient comfort and ensuring more accurate restorations. Out of a block of ceramic, the CAD/CAM technology will carve out your new tooth. This process can take as little as 15 minutes, far quicker than waiting for the dental lab. The on-site milling machine allows for immediate restorations, adding to the efficiency and convenience of the procedure. The newly prepared tooth will be polished and then placed over the tooth. No temporary crowns are needed and no wait time.  Why Choose Same Day Crowns?The aforementioned benefit of a very short waiting time, of about 15 minutes, is one that inclines a lot of patients toward CEREC crowns. Same-day crowns offer a fast and convenient alternative to traditional crowns, which require multiple visits. It means that temporary dental crowns do not have to be used and everything can be done quickly. Patients can rely on CEREC crowns for their natural aesthetics, durability, and longevity. In terms of cost, it changes from each individual case. However, CAD/CAM technology is used, so the cost of dental work is similar. Talk to our team for an accurate assessment of the CEREC crown cost. CEREC can only be made from ceramic, but the crown is very strong and does not chip or wear down easily. CEREC dental crowns can typically last 10-15 years, and possibly even longer with the upkeep of good oral health and hygiene. Thanks to advancements in dental technology, patients can now enjoy the benefits of same-day crowns without the need for multiple appointments.
