The Benefits of CEREC Technology
There are numerous benefits to our in-office CEREC technology, including the following:
- Accuracy — Because we take digital impressions, your dental crown will fit perfectly.
- Efficiency — Because we don’t use an outside dental lab to create your crown, it saves valuable time.
- Cost — Because we can eliminate the outside dental lab and create your crown in our dental office, we pass those cost savings on to our patients.
The CEREC Same-Day Crown Process
CEREC stands for Chairside Economic Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics; this technology allows us to create and place a dental crown in one visit without needing messy impressions or a temporary crown.
Here are the steps we take to restore your smile:
- First, we examine your teeth and gums. If you’re a candidate for a dental crown, we customize a treatment plan for you.
- Next, we numb your mouth and shape your tooth to make room for the crown.
- Then, we take digital impressions, which will be used to create a 3-D model of your mouth.
- Finally, once we have chosen the correct shade for your dental crown, our CEREC milling machine uses this 3-D model to create your permanent crown.
- Once complete, we cement your crown and check the fit.
That’s it! You’ll leave our office able to smile, bite down, and chew comfortably.
