Same-Day Crowns in Candler, NC

At Aer Dental Studio, we understand that your time is valuable. That’s why Dr. Michael Martins is proud to offer state-of-the-art CEREC same-day crowns for our patients in Candler and surrounding communities. This advanced technology allows us to create custom, durable porcelain crowns in just one visit, eliminating the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns.

Our patients appreciate the convenience and quality of our same-day crowns, which restore damaged teeth to their natural strength and appearance in just hours, not weeks. Whether you’re dealing with a cracked tooth, severe decay, or replacing an old metal filling, our one-visit crowns provide an efficient, long-lasting solution.

What Are Same-Day Crowns?

Same-day crowns are custom-made porcelain restorations that fit over your existing tooth structure, strengthening and protecting damaged teeth while restoring their appearance. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple appointments and a dental lab, CEREC same-day crowns are designed, fabricated, and placed in a single appointment at our Candler office.

These high-quality porcelain crowns are:

  • Custom-designed to match your natural teeth
  • Milled from durable ceramic material
  • Precisely fitted for optimal function
  • Bonded directly to your tooth
  • Completed in approximately 90 minutes

The CEREC technology uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to create crowns that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Dr. Martins has extensive training in this technology, ensuring exceptional results for every patient.

Advantages of Same-Day Crowns

Convenience
The most obvious benefit of one-visit crowns is time savings. Instead of multiple appointments spread over several weeks, you’ll have your final crown placed in a single visit. This means:

  • No need to take additional time off work
  • One anesthetic injection instead of multiple
  • Immediate restoration of your smile
  • No temporary crown to worry about

Precision and Comfort

CEREC same-day crowns utilize digital scanning technology instead of traditional impression materials. This results in:
More comfortable experience (no messy impression material)

  • Incredibly precise fit
  • Less adjustment needed
  • Reduced sensitivity

Natural Appearance

Our porcelain crowns are custom-shaded to match your surrounding teeth. The ceramic material reflects light similarly to natural tooth enamel, creating a seamless, beautiful smile.

Durability

CEREC same-day crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials that are designed to withstand the forces of normal chewing and biting. With proper care, these restorations can last for many years.

Conservation of Tooth Structure

The precise digital mapping allows Dr. Martins to preserve more of your natural tooth structure during preparation, maintaining the overall strength and integrity of your tooth.

The Same-Day Crowns Process

Your same-day crown appointment at Aer Dental Studio typically follows these steps:

1. Examination and Preparation
Dr. Martins examines your tooth and removes any decay or damaged portions. The tooth is then shaped to accommodate the crown.

2. Digital Impression
Instead of traditional putty impressions, we use a small intraoral scanner to take precise 3D images of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth.

3. Crown Design
Using specialized software, Dr. Martins designs your custom crown, adjusting the shape, size, and color to create a perfect match to your existing teeth.

4. On-Site Fabrication
Our in-office milling unit carves your crown from a solid block of ceramic material based on the exact specifications from the design software.

5. Customization and Placement
The crown is polished and custom-stained to match your natural teeth. Dr. Martins then checks the fit and bonds the crown to your tooth.

You’ll leave our office with a fully restored, beautiful smile—all in a single appointment!
