Single-day crowns boast a number of key benefits, especially when compared with traditional porcelain crowns. You can read about these in detail below.
Eliminates the use of temporary crowns
One major advantage of same-day crowns is that at no point in the process are you required to wear temporary crowns. Temporary crowns are worn by patients while their permanent crowns are under construction, which can take several weeks.
Unlike permanent crowns, temporary crowns are not designed to fit the precise dimensions of the underlying tooth. As such, they’re prone to come loose and fall off. Patients with temporary crowns have to be especially careful when talking and eating to make sure this doesn't happen.
Restore your smile quicker
The obvious advantage of same-day crowns is that they can be designed and fitted within a single appointment. If you only need one crown fitted, the entire process can be completed within the space of an hour. Conversely, traditional crowns could take several weeks to be fitted.
This is good news if you suffer sudden or unexpected damage to your tooth and require an immediate fix. If there’s an important event on the horizon that you need to look your best for, same-day crowns will restore your smile within a matter of hours.
Strong and reliable
Our CEREC same-day crowns are made from resilient ceramic materials. These last an average of ten to 15 years, though with appropriate care they could last as long as 25 years. This level of durability is on par with traditional ceramic crowns.
In addition, CEREC same-day crowns benefit from a better fit. The crowns are designed to align with the exact profile of the underlying tooth. Not only does this make for greater comfort and a better bite, but it also means that same-day crowns are less likely to come loose.
