Missing teeth can have devastating impacts on your life. They affect how you eat, speak, and smile, leading to diminished self-confidence. At ARCH Dental + Aesthetics, we offer advanced CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) technology to create custom crowns and bridges to restore your complete smile in just one day!
Our CEREC machine creates beautiful restorations within your appointment time, eliminating extensive waiting periods. Thus, you can leave with a beautiful smile and get back to enjoying life without interruption!
CEREC is an advanced technology that uses CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) to create dental restorations. Digital impressions are sent directly to our on-site milling machine, which fabricates durable porcelain dental crowns and bridges that look and feel natural, all while you wait! This eliminates the need for messy impressions, temporary crowns, and the inconvenience of scheduling multiple visits for completion at an off-site dental lab.
A CEREC crown in Vancouver, BC, is a convenient method for achieving beautiful results in one day if adequate tooth structure supports the restoration. We may recommend CEREC same-day dental crowns for any of the following issues:
Depending on your specific case, we can design, create, and place your custom permanent crown in approximately one hour. This procedure allows you to arrive with a damaged tooth and leave with a stunning dental crown or bridge.
We will start by taking digital impressions of your teeth. This 3D scan is fast and precise, capturing all the details needed for a perfect fit. First, we will numb the area with a local anesthetic. If you’re getting a crown, we’ll gently shape the tooth by removing any damaged or decayed areas. If you’re getting a bridge, we’ll prepare the surrounding teeth to act as anchors for the restoration.
This digital impression is sent to our CEREC system, where we’ll design your crown or bridge right in the office. You can see the design on a screen, and we will make any adjustments needed to ensure the crown or dental bridge is tailored to blend seamlessly with your smile. Once we finalize the design, the CEREC machine will create your custom crown or bridge from a solid block of ceramic material. This process takes about 15-20 minutes.
After creating the crown or bridge, we’ll carefully fit it to ensure it aligns properly with your bite. Then, we’ll adjust appropriately to achieve the perfect fit. Once your restoration is securely set in place, you can leave our Vancouver, BC, office with a beautiful, functional new smile!
