How Do Same-Day Crowns Work?

The process of obtaining CEREC crowns can be broken down into several key steps:

  1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your oral health. During this visit, Dr. Lavi will determine whether you are a suitable candidate for same-day crowns.
  2. Tooth Preparation: If approved, Dr. Lavi will initiate the procedure by preparing the target tooth. This entails cleaning the tooth and removing any plaque or decayed tissue that may pose complications. Additionally, he’ll skillfully remove a portion of the tooth’s enamel to create space for the crown.
  3. Digital Impression: Advanced technology, such as CEREC, comes into play, capturing a precise digital impression of your mouth. This eliminates uncomfortable and messy traditional impressions.
  4. Custom Crown Creation: With the digital impression, your customized dental crown is crafted right within the dental office. This state-of-the-art technology ensures precision and efficiency, as you won’t need a temporary crown while you wait for your permanent crown.
  5. Crown Placement: Dr. Lavi will attach the dental crown to your tooth using a dental composite. This process ensures a comfortable and natural fit with the surrounding teeth.

Aftercare for Dental Crowns

  • Avoid Chewing Hard Objects: Refrain from chewing on tough objects or foods, as this can damage the crowns.
  • Dietary Considerations: Be mindful of your diet; avoid excessive consumption of overly sticky or sugary foods, which can affect your natural teeth and crowns.
