What is a Same-Day Restoration?
Normally, placing a dental crown, inlay or onlay requires more than one visit to the dentist, but by using CEREC technology, our dentists can perform the entire procedure in one visit.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a system that allows for the fabrication of same-day ceramic or porcelain dental restorations. Our Calgary dentists use CEREC technology to place crowns, veneers, inlays and onlays in just one appointment.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are porcelain caps that are placed on top of prepared teeth to help restore their function and appearance, such as preventing a cracked tooth from worsening. They can help to restore a discoloured or stained tooth to its natural appearance. Crowns are also used to replace missing teeth when attached to dental implants.
Veneers
Veneers are thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped material that are custom-made and bonded to the front of your natural tooth to change the symmetry, shape or colour of your smile.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom tooth-coloured restorations that are used to repair cavities when the damage is too extensive for a standard dental filling, and are typically used for molars.
