CEREC Same Day Crowns
Cambridge, MA
 As the name suggests, a CEREC same-day crown is a dental crown that is added to the prepared tooth the day that the tooth is prepared. If you have ever had a root canal treatment from a dentist, you know that the crowning procedure can take days. So the industry developed same-day crowns to get rid of the wait and deliver instant satisfaction to the patient.
Advantages of CEREC Same Day Crowns
There are many advantages to getting a same-day crown. Some of them include the following:
Protects Tooth Surroundings
Instead of leaving a prepared tooth exposed, dentists often bond a temporary crown to it. This temporary crown is usually a bad fit and can injure the soft tissues around the tooth. Besides that, the temporary crown can also make it painful to bite and chew because of the bad fit, which is not a problem with CEREC same-day crowns.
Immediate Functionality
With traditional crowning procedures, you must wait a few days before complete functionality is restored to your teeth. A CEREC same-day crown restores functionality to the teeth immediately and allows the individual to continue their day-to-day lives normally.
Comfortable
The temporary crown used after tooth cutting is often highly uncomfortable. The CEREC same-day crown offers optimum comfort.
Prevents Cavities
Temporary crowns may come off and leave the tooth exposed, making it susceptible to bacterial attacks and causing cavities. A CEREC same-day crown relieves that possibility entirely.
Disadvantages of CEREC Same Day Crowns
There is no doubt that there are a few disadvantages to using CEREC same-day crowns as well.
Might Not Be a Perfect Fit
First of all, since the crown is made and fixed immediately after the tooth is cut, there may be a better fit. This could cause the crown to come loose easily and increase the chance of failure.
Not as Strong as PFM Crowns
CEREC same-day crowns are often less strong than traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. These crowns can be damaged easily when too much force is applied.
Might Fracture Easily
If the crown is not a perfect fit, the tooth might get fractured easily and might even injure the soft tissues below.
