Same-Day Dental Crowns and Bridges at Affordable Dentists
At Affordable Dentists, with branches in Auckland’s North Shore, Central, and West, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced, efficient, and comfortable dental solutions. One of the key services we offer is same-day dental crowns and bridges using cutting-edge CAD/CAM technology, such as CEREC.
Why Choose Same-Day Crowns and Bridges?
Traditional crown and bridge procedures often require multiple appointments spread over several weeks. However, with our CEREC technology, we can complete the entire process in a single visit. This approach eliminates the need for temporary crowns, messy impressions, and the inconvenience of multiple dental visits.
The Process
- Digital Scanning: We begin by using a digital scanner to capture a precise 3D image of your teeth. This replaces the traditional method of taking dental impressions, which can be uncomfortable and messy.
- Design and Fabrication: The scanned data is then used to design your crown or bridge using specialized software. Once the design is finalized, our CEREC machine mills the restoration from a single block of ceramic material, such as lithium disilicate (IPS e.max) or zirconia. These materials are chosen for their exceptional strength, aesthetics, and biocompatibility.
- Same-Day Completion: The entire process, from scanning to cementing the final crown or bridge, is completed in one visit. This means you can walk out of our practice with your permanent restoration in place, without the need for temporary solutions.
Benefits of Our Same-Day Crowns and Bridges
- Reduced Appointments: By completing the procedure in one visit, we save you time and reduce the overall treatment duration.
- Minimized Pain and Inconvenience: The elimination of temporary crowns reduces patient discomfort and the risk of sensitivity. Additionally, digital technology ensures a precise fit, minimizing the need for adjustments.
- High Accuracy and Aesthetics: Our CEREC technology allows for highly accurate designs and fabrications, ensuring that the crowns and bridges are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The ceramic materials we use closely match the natural color and translucency of your teeth.
Materials Used
We offer a range of ceramic materials for our crowns and bridges, each chosen for its specific benefits:
- Lithium Disilicate (IPS e.max): Known for its high strength, translucency, and durability, making it ideal for both front and back teeth.
- Zirconia: Exceptionally strong and durable, zirconia is often used for back teeth that endure significant chewing forces. It is also highly resistant to fractures and wear.
In-House Fabrication
By fabricating crowns and bridges in-house, we maintain complete control over the quality and accuracy of the restorations. This approach also allows us to keep costs reasonable without compromising on the quality of the materials and craftsmanship. Our in-house milling unit ensures that the materials used are the same as those used by top dental labs, such as Ivoclar’s Emax, GC Cerasmart, and Enamic by Vita.
