CEREC is a technology in our clinic that allows us to create same-day dental crowns in Oatley, NSW. For you, this means you’re unlikely to wait weeks for an outside lab to create your tooth crown and send it to our clinic. This technology also means no more goopy impression pastes in the mouth.
Reasons you may need a dental crown include:
- Rebuilding a broken tooth
- Restoring strength to a treated tooth
- Concealing tooth flaws
- Topping a dental implant post
- Anchoring a dental bridge
How Same-Day Tooth Crowns Work
First, we take a digital impression. Then we send the results to online software, where your crown is fabricated. From there, it is forwarded to a special printer. Finally, the crown is cut from a piece of porcelain.
Your dentist makes all necessary adjustments before cementing your crown over the treated tooth.
You can enjoy your meals again with same-day dental crowns because they restore bite function. In addition, you can smile knowing that your crown is custom-made to look like your natural teeth.
Your Oatley Dentist Encourages Your Call
If you have a broken or cosmetically-flawed tooth—or an old crown that fits loosely—we urge you to reach out to a member of our dental team to arrange a consultation with the dentist. Of course, we are also here if you have any questions or concerns.
