You've lost a dental filling, and your tooth feels sensitive. Your Medina dentist says you need a crown, and they can complete it the same day!
You're shocked to hear this because your last crown took weeks to complete, and your previous dentist had to replace the temporary crown three times. How could they ever complete that treatment in the same appointment? Here's how!
Innovative CEREC Technology for Same-Day Dental Crowns
CEREC stands for "chair-side economical restoration of esthetic ceramic." Our CEREC equipment can customize and mill high-quality porcelain restorations on-site while you wait!
Here's how it works. Our dentists start by scanning a 3-D image of the tooth needing repair, eliminating the need for us to take a messy, goopy impression of your tooth.
After adding their design specifications, they transfer the image directly to our milling machine. The milling machine uses high-quality ceramic porcelain to mill and fabricate your new tooth in minutes.
Our dentists can then permanently place the crown and make any adjustments needed to ensure it provides you with full chewing functions and complementary aesthetics.
When Do We Recommend Same-Day Dental Crowns?
Our dentists may recommend a tooth crown in several different cases:
- Protection for a severely broken, decayed, or fractured tooth
- Coverage for a cosmetically compromised tooth
- Replacement for a large broken or lost filling
- Reconstruction of a tooth that's had root canal treatment
- Restoration for a single-tooth dental implant
Same-day tooth crowns in Medina are especially ideal in emergencies to promptly restore a tooth that's been broken, damaged, or decayed so you can return to your normal daily activities.
Please don't hesitate to contact your team at Sinick Family Dental if you have questions about same-day crowns or if you or a loved one needs emergency dental care. We're here to help!
