Make an appointment

The answer to how long it takes to get a dental crown, depends on the type of technology offered by the dentist. Traditional crown placements can take two appointments that are weeks apart. However, with new dental crown restorative technology provided by CEREC, your dental crown can now be placed in one visit. Here at Outdoor Dental in SE Calgary, we have the latest dental crown technology and provide our patients with same day crowns.

Remember when you went to the dentist needing a crown? Your tooth would be shaped for the crown and an impression would then be taken, while a temporary crown is in your mouth. For many patients, this process would seem to last forever.

Next, you would have to wait for the permanent crown’s arrival. Within those two weeks, you would hope that the temporary crown did not fall off (and it usually did). In Seton at Outdoor Dental, we use CEREC®, so that long, involved scenario is no longer necessary. You walk in for your appointment and walk out with your new crown the same day.

The CEREC® system of dental restoration allows your dentist to create your crown during your visit with technologically advanced equipment. There are three major components to the CEREC® system:

• The acquisition device is a very high-end camera attached to a medical grade computer. It photographs your tooth after the dentist has prepared it for a crown, creating amazing three-dimensional images that allow your dentist to design your crown.
• Three-dimensional Computer Assisted Design (CAD) software lets your dentist view your tooth from every possible angle as if he were holding it in his hand and turning it. He uses this software to design your custom made crown.
• The milling device is the part that actually creates your crown with the information from the CAD, the camera and the dentist’s input. The dentist inserts a ceramic block that matches your tooth into the milling device, and within a short time, it produces a crown that fits your tooth perfectly.

Using this equipment for dental crowns

• Prepare your tooth with the drill, removing all decay, and get it ready to accept the crown
• Take an image of your tooth using the CEREC® equipment
• View the image and design the final restoration
• Send the final design to the milling unit
• After 30 minutes, place the finished crown in your mouth to ensure it is a proper fit and bite
• Polish the crown and affix it to your tooth with dental cement
• Recommend you not chew on that side until the anaesthesia wears off, and thank you for coming.

What are the advantages of CEREC® One-Day Crowns or single visit crowns?

Studies have shown that these crowns last from 5 to 10 years and possibly longer. They require less of the tooth to be removed, so more of your natural tooth is saved and only one visit is needed, rather than two or three (if the temporary crown falls off). These appointments are also minimally invasive.

One Visit / Same Day Crowns look like real teeth!

Hello, thank you, done!

One-Visit Crowns, also called CEREC® or single visit crowns, are, as the name suggests, crowns that are made the same day as your appointment. Maybe you don’t have time for multiple dentist appointments, or maybe going to the dentist makes you nervous. Whatever the case, one-day crowns are significantly more convenient, and they utilize the latest technology for cosmetic dental treatments.

With One-Visit Crowns is completed in one appointment. There’s no interim period of waiting for a permanent crown to be made, and you won’t have to wear a temporary crown at all. This eliminates a lot of hassle for you, the patient.

One-Visit or CEREC® crowns are made in a 3-step process. First, a medical-grade, high-quality camera and computer take 3D pictures of your tooth that has been prepared for a crown. 3D CAD (computer-assisted design) software allows the dentist to inspect every angle of the tooth in detail. Finally, a milling device manufactures the designed crown from a ceramic block right here here in our dental office in Seton.
