The Benefits of CEREC Same Day Dental Crowns
One Appointment, Permanent Results
Traditional crowns require multiple visits over several weeks. With CEREC at our Shrewsbury practice, your entire treatment – from preparation to final fitting – happens in one appointment, typically lasting 1-2 hours.
No Temporary Crowns
Because your permanent crown is created the same day, there’s no need for uncomfortable temporary crowns. You won’t need to worry about them coming loose or feeling sensitive between appointments.
Natural-Looking Results
CEREC crowns are milled from high-quality ceramic blocks that closely match the color and translucency of natural teeth. Your restoration will blend seamlessly with your smile.
Time-Saving Convenience
For busy professionals across Shropshire, CEREC offers a practical solution. One visit means less time away from work, family commitments or other priorities.
Digital Precision
Digital scanning eliminates the need for messy impressions. The technology creates incredibly accurate crowns that fit precisely, ensuring long-lasting comfort and durability.
The CEREC Process at Esthetique Dental
Step 1: Preparation and Digital Scanning
We begin by preparing your tooth and removing any decay or damage. Instead of traditional impressions, we use a digital scanner to capture precise 3D images of your tooth and surrounding area.
Step 2: Crown Design
Using the digital scan, we design your custom crown on our computer system. We’ll show you the design and ensure you’re happy with the shape and appearance before proceeding.
Step 3: Milling Your Crown
Your crown is milled from a solid ceramic block right here in our practice using our precision milling machine. This typically takes 10-15 minutes while you relax.
Step 4: Fitting and Polishing
Once milled, we carefully fit your new crown, make any necessary adjustments, and polish it to a natural finish. We’ll check your bite and ensure everything feels comfortable before you leave.
The entire process takes place in one appointment, and you’ll walk out with your permanent restoration complete.
CEREC for Nervous Patients
If you feel anxious about dental treatment, CEREC offers real advantages. Completing your dental crown in one visit to our Shropshire practice means you only need to prepare yourself mentally once, rather than returning for follow-up appointments.
Our team are dental phobia specialists, so we understand what you’re going through. We’ll explain each step clearly, work at your pace, and ensure you feel comfortable throughout the process.
Many of our previously nervous patients tell us they prefer CEREC because they can see the entire treatment completed in one day, giving them peace of mind.
How Long Do CEREC Crowns Last?
With proper care, CEREC crowns can last 10-15 years or more. They’re made from high-quality ceramic materials designed for durability and long-term performance.
To help your crown last as long as possible, maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular check-ups at our Shrewsbury practice, and avoid habits like grinding your teeth or biting hard objects.
