How Dental crowns work

What is the procedure like?

The CEREC Same Day Dental Crown procedure with Philadelphia dentist Dr. Eidelson is thorough and patient-focused, involving several key stages:

01.

Preparation and Impression

Initially, the dentist prepares the tooth, removing any decay and reshaping it to accommodate the crown. This is followed by taking a digital impression of the tooth using an intraoral camera. This step is crucial as it captures a detailed 3D image of the tooth and surrounding area, eliminating the need for traditional, more uncomfortable dental impressions.

02.

Design and Milling of the Crown

Next, the digital image is used to design the crown with the aid of specialized CEREC software. This software allows for the creation of a customized crown that precisely fits over the prepared tooth. The design is then sent to an in-office milling machine, which carves the crown from a ceramic block matched to the color of the patient’s teeth. This milling process is usually completed in less than an hour, highlighting the efficiency of the CEREC system.

03.

Placement and Final Adjustments

The final step involves the dentist checking the fit of the milled crown, making any necessary adjustments to ensure it aligns perfectly with the bite and adjacent teeth. The crown is then polished and bonded to the prepared tooth, securing it in place and ensuring it blends seamlessly with the natural teeth. This entire process, from preparation to placement, is typically completed in a single visit, offering a convenient and time-saving solution for patients in need of dental crowns.

Alternative treatments

Lumineers provide a minimally invasive and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional dental crowns, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

Same Day Crowns Vs. Traditional Crowns Process

Traditional dental crown procedures typically require two visits to the dental office in Philadelphia: one for tooth impression and another for crown placement, with a 2-3 week gap and a temporary crown in between. Same day dental crowns streamline this process, eliminating the need for a temporary crown and allowing patients to receive their final restoration in just one visit, usually within a few hours at our Center City location.

Happy Patients

“Dr Eidelson is the absolute best. One of my Veneers broke from my overbite and last minute on a Friday and holiday weekend, stopped his plans and met me at the office in 1 hour. He made sure I was comfortable, and fixed my tooth with no problem at all. He is very caring and goes above and beyond for me every visit. He worries almost as if they are his own teeth and I could not ask for a better dentist!!!”
