Same-Day Crown Services Powered by CEREC

You read that right: using CEREC tooth restoration technology, our team at Shin Dentistry can create same-day crowns and bridges to help support your smile—usually with no additional appointments required.

Losing a tooth as an adult is not merely a cosmetic concern, but also an overall health concern. It’s important to book a dental appointment when a tooth is damaged, painful, or loose.

Same-Day Emergency Dental Appointments for Crowns & Bridges

A broken crown is a dental emergency and we always do everything we can to accommodate same-day emergency dental appointments.

If you have a broken crown or other restoration, a damaged tooth, or a toothache, please give us a call, and we’ll arrange for you to see our team as soon as possible.

In as little as a single appointment, our team can assess the issue and provide a comprehensive strategy to help restore the look and function of the affected teeth and improve your overall health.

What Are Crowns & Bridges?

Crowns, also known as “caps,” are artificial teeth that cover damaged or decayed teeth anywhere in your mouth or for a dental implant. Crowns are made of strong tooth-like materials, allowing you to chew and speak as you would with natural teeth.

Bridges, on the other hand, may be recommended if you’re missing 1 or more teeth. Bridges can fill gaps in your smile and restore the look and function of your teeth. Bridges are held in place by crowns bonded over your natural teeth.

What Is CEREC?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. It’s a method of creating ceramic dental restorations right here in our office, usually during your appointment.

Using computer-aided design and manufacturing, dental restorations can be made from impressions of your teeth on the same day.

CEREC can be used to create:

Crowns
Inlays & onlays
Bridges
Veneers
Dental Implants
Dentures

Our Crown & Bridge Process

Crowns and bridges can be used for various reasons, but depending on the issue you’d like to address, we may recommend one strategy over the other.

In many cases, we can provide a CEREC crown or a bridge in a single appointment, but we may need additional appointments depending on the scope of the issue.

Prepare for Your Crown or Bridge Treatment

The first step towards getting a crown or bridge is using our intraoral scanner to develop a 3D scan of your smile and create a personalized treatment plan.

We may also need to prepare your tooth or teeth to make room for the new crown going over top.

Create the Crown or Bridge

Using our in-house CEREC milling technology, we swiftly manufacture your crown or bridge. In some cases, these fabrications may only take 15 minutes to complete.

Restore Your Smile

Once we create your crown or bridge, the next step is integrating it with your smile.

Crowns are permanently cemented over your natural tooth, while bridges may be cemented or held in place to neighbouring teeth or dental implants.

Once your appointment is complete, you should be well on your way to using your teeth normally.

Caring for Your Crown or Bridge

Just like your natural teeth, it’s important to take care of your crown or bridge with regular brushing and flossing. With proper care, these artificial teeth can last up to 10 years.

As always, make sure you have regular dental exams and professional cleanings to help support your smile and address potential concerns as early as possible.

Materials We Use for Crowns & Bridges

We offer strong, natural-looking options for our patients to achieve their smile goals when getting crowns or bridges anywhere in their mouths.

That includes materials such as zirconia and e.max ceramics to help deliver the quality of crown you deserve.

Zirconia

Zirconia is a strong, metal-free restorative material used in dentistry to make crowns, bridges, and other prosthetics. Thanks to its strength and durability, it has been used for decades as an alternative to traditional metal or porcelain restorations.

The strength of zirconium dioxide allows it to be crafted into very thin, nearly invisible layers when placed on the teeth. It can also be easily coloured to match your natural tooth shade, giving you a more natural look.

e.max Ceramics

IPS e.max ceramics are a popular choice in the world of cosmetic dentistry. These quality ceramics are known for their ability to create beautiful, strong, and lifelike restorations that look and feel like natural teeth.

One of the most significant advantages of e.max ceramics is their aesthetic appeal. The material is incredibly versatile and can be customized to match the natural colour and texture of the surrounding teeth. With e.max, dental restorations are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
