Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology
Waiting days or weeks for a dental crown is no longer necessary. With CEREC technology, your dentist can design, create, and place custom ceramic restorations such as crowns, inlays, and onlays in a single visit.
What Is a CEREC Machine?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This advanced system allows your dentist to scan, design, and craft dental restorations right in the office. No temporary crowns, no messy impressions, and no need to wait for a dental lab.
How It Works
-
Digital Scanning - Your dentist takes digital X-rays and photos to create a 3D model of your teeth.
-
Design - Using CAD software, the damaged area is identified and a custom restoration is designed.
-
Precision Milling - The machine carves your new restoration from a ceramic block in about 20 minutes.
-
Placement - While the restoration is made, your dentist prepares the tooth. Then the piece is placed and bonded.
Why Choose a Dentist with CEREC?
-
Faster Treatment - Get everything done in a single visit.
-
Better Fit - Advanced imaging provides a highly accurate fit.
-
No Temporary Crowns - Your permanent restoration is placed the same day.
