Did You Know We Can Place Crowns In One Visit?

CEREC Same Day Dental Crowns in Arlington Heights ILA restoration corrects problems with a tooth while also protecting it from further decay, infection, or damage. A dental crown is a common restoration and one we use frequently to help patients. In the past, the placement process took between two and three visits and often necessitated the wearing of a temporary in between visits. However, we’re proud to offer our patients a chance to receive a crown in one visit.

Answer Key

  1. True. We can fix tooth decay, complete a root canal, and repair cracked or chipped teeth. We can also reshape teeth with cosmetic issues, anchor a dental bridge in pace, and even restore a single tooth dental implant.
  2. True. First, we prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of structure, we then take detailed impressions. Using the CEREC system, we can mill a completed crown from a single block of ceramic. We can then place the retraction with a powerful bonding agent, all in the same visit.
