What are Dental Crowns?
The CEREC Difference
CEREC technology sets a new standard for dental crowns. Traditional crowns typically require at least two dental appointments spread out over several weeks. The first visit involves preparing the tooth, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown. The impressions are then sent to a dental lab, where the permanent crown is fabricated.
With CEREC custom crowns, we eliminate the waiting period and the need for temporary crowns. We use computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create precise, durable ceramic crowns in just a single visit. Not only does this save you time, but it also ensures a perfect fit and a more comfortable experience.
Who Can Benefit From Dental Crowns?
Almost anyone with a damaged or decayed tooth can benefit from a dental crown. Whether the damage is caused by decay, a dental procedure, or an accident, a crown can restore the tooth’s function and aesthetics, giving you back a healthy smile.
Dental crowns can also be used in cosmetic dentistry as aesthetic enhancements that cover discolored or misshapen teeth. They can even be placed on top of dental implants to replace missing teeth, providing a natural-looking restoration that functions just like your real tooth.
The CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns Procedure
The CEREC procedure starts with a thorough examination and preparation of the tooth. Next, we use a special camera to take digital images of your tooth, which are used to create a 3D model. These digital impressions are then used to design your new crown.
Once the design is ready, it’s sent to our in-office milling machine, which carves your crown out of a ceramic block in about 15 minutes. The crown is then polished and bonded to your tooth, all within the same appointment. No temporary crowns, no second visits – just a beautiful, custom-fitted crown in a single appointment.
