Recovery and care: Teeth or gums may be tender or sensitive for several days or longer after preparation or fitting. Follow instructions for temporary restorations, eating and cleaning around and beneath a bridge. Seek review for increasing or persistent pain, a bite that feels wrong, or a loose restoration. Continued care reduces some risks but cannot guarantee success.
Most same-day crown appointments take between 1.5 to 2.5 hours from start to finish, depending on the complexity of your case and any adjustments needed.
Once the anaesthetic wears off completely, you can eat normally. However, it’s best to start with softer foods and avoid very hard or sticky items for the first day or two.
Important Disclaimer
Individual results vary significantly based on oral health, lifestyle habits, and adherence to care instructions. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace professional dental consultation. Always consult with a qualified dental practitioner to discuss your specific needs and suitability for treatment.
A CEREC crown may be made and fitted in one visit in suitable cases. Appointment needs depend on the tooth, treatment plan and any adjustments or further care required.
Your dentist will assess the remaining tooth structure and discuss whether a filling, dental crown or another option is appropriate. The discussion should cover expected changes, risks, limitations and alternatives.
A crown covers a prepared tooth; a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. Conventional tooth-supported, adhesive and implant-supported bridges have different preparation and maintenance needs. Your dentist should explain the type proposed and why.
CEREC uses a digital scan, computer-assisted design and milling to make a ceramic restoration. The dentist plans the restoration, checks the design and assesses the fit, appearance and bite before fitting. Technology does not guarantee a particular result.
Preparation, scanning, fabrication, finishing and fitting requirements vary. Some cases need further appointments, laboratory work or a different restoration.
Risks and limitations: Preparation for a crown or conventional bridge removes tooth tissue irreversibly. Sensitivity, gum irritation or recession, decay, loss of bonding, chipping or fracture can occur. A supporting tooth may develop pulp problems requiring root canal treatment, or may be lost. A bridge can place demands on supporting teeth, and both the restoration and underlying teeth may need further treatment. Fit, colour and appearance may differ from expectations. Repair or replacement may be needed.
Recovery and care: Teeth or gums may be tender or sensitive for several days or longer after preparation or fitting. Follow instructions for temporary restorations, eating and cleaning around and beneath a bridge. Seek review for increasing or persistent pain, a bite that feels wrong, or a loose restoration. Continued care reduces some risks but cannot guarantee success.
The lifespan of a crown varies. The restoration and underlying tooth require ongoing care and review; further treatment, repair or replacement may be needed.
Alternatives depend on the problem and may include a filling/onlay, another bridge design, a denture, an implant or no replacement. Appointment number and timing depend on the plan.
