Same-Day Dental Crowns in Durham

CEREC technology makes it happen!

In the past, making a new dental crown would take multiple visits to our office. But now with revolutionary CEREC technology, getting a dental crown in Durham or other restorations have never been easier!

How does it work? With the aid of computer technology, we make a digital scan of your tooth and design a beautiful crown. This digital information is transferred to our in-office CEREC milling machine. This machine can create a precise restoration and match the color of your teeth in just minutes. The new crown is then placed.

Why Our Patients Love Same-Day Dentistry

No Temporaries Needed
Because we are able to fabricate your permanent crown right away in our office, there is no longer any need to wear a temporary crown while you wait for your permanent crown to be created in an off-site lab. Also, digital impressions mean no need for messy impressions.
Accuracy
Digital images are highly precise. Our CAD/CAM system creates a very detailed 3D image of your new restoration for our CEREC machine to use as a blueprint. This assures you of the most comfortable and accurate fit possible.
Saves You Time
Same-day dentistry means less time in the dentist’s chair for you. No need for numerous office visits. You’ll have more time to spend with your family and doing the things you love to do – like sharing your beautifully restored smile!

FAQs About Same-Day Dentistry

Find the answers to your questions here.
  • Why would I need a dental crown?

    Dental crowns protect and restore teeth that are decayed, broken, discolored, and chipped. It also serves as a cap for a dental implant.

  • How long do same-day crowns last?

    Dental crowns can last for up to 15 years or more. The best way to increase the life of your crown is to keep up a good dental hygiene routine of regular brushing and flossing and seeing your dentist for regular check-ups. Also, avoid chewing on hard candies, ice, or any other hard foods that could chip or break your crown.

  • Will my same-day crown look like one of my own teeth?

    Yes. We use only high-quality ceramic materials that are color matched to your natural teeth. This porcelain is extremely durable and has the luster and shine of natural teeth.

  • Is CEREC technology new?

    Actually, computer-aided design has been around for about 20 years. What is new are the advances in digital technology that make the highly detailed impressions needed for accurate restorations possible. With these precise impressions, we can create restorations that fit better and look better than in the past.
