CEREC Same-Day Crowns in Snellville
At French Smiles, we believe advanced technology should make your life easier — not more complicated. That’s why we’re proud to offer CEREC same-day crowns, a revolutionary approach to restorative dentistry that allows you to walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a beautiful, permanent crown in just one visit. No temporaries, no return appointments, and no waiting weeks for a dental lab. With CEREC technology, you get the precision, comfort, and convenience you deserve from modern dental care.
What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This innovative system uses advanced digital imaging and computer-aided design to create custom dental crowns right in our office. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple visits and temporary restorations, CEREC crowns are designed, milled, and placed during a single appointment — usually in about two hours.
The result? A durable, natural-looking crown that restores your tooth’s strength, function, and appearance without the hassle of traditional methods.
How CEREC Technology Works
The process of receiving CEREC same-day crowns is streamlined and efficient:
- Examination and Preparation: Your dentist begins by examining your tooth and preparing it for the crown. This involves removing any decay and reshaping the tooth to ensure a proper fit.
- Digital Impressions: Instead of messy putty molds, we use a small digital scanner to capture detailed 3D images of your tooth and surrounding teeth. This process is fast, comfortable, and incredibly accurate.
- Crown Design: Using specialized CEREC software, your dentist designs your crown on a computer screen, customizing the shape, size, and contours to match your natural teeth perfectly. You can even watch the design process if you’re curious about how it works.
- Milling: Once the design is complete, it’s sent to our in-office milling machine. This precision device carves your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic material in about an hour.
- Placement: After your crown is ready, your dentist will check the fit and color, make any necessary adjustments, and permanently bond it to your tooth. You leave with a fully restored smile — no temporary crown, no second visit required.
Benefits of CEREC Crowns
Choosing CEREC same-day crowns offers numerous advantages over traditional crown procedures:
- One-Visit Convenience: Everything is completed in a single appointment, saving you time and eliminating the need to schedule follow-up visits.
- No Temporary Crowns: Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable, unsightly, and prone to falling out. With CEREC, you skip this step entirely.
- Precise Fit: Digital technology ensures exceptional accuracy, resulting in crowns that fit comfortably and feel natural from day one.
- Natural Appearance: CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic that closely mimics the translucency and color of natural tooth enamel.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: With proper care, CEREC crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer, providing reliable protection for your tooth.
When Do You Need a Crown?
Dental crowns are recommended in several situations:
- To protect a tooth weakened by decay or large fillings
- To restore a cracked or broken tooth
- After root canal therapy to strengthen the tooth
- To cover a dental implant
- To improve the appearance of misshapen or severely discolored teeth
