CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Dental crowns and bridges are an essential part of restorative dentistry. Unfortunately, because of the craft required to make a dental crown, having one placed can take multiple visits which can be inconvenient to plan around your busy schedule. With our CEREC technology, we are proud to get rid of this problem completely by offering you same-day in-office dental crowns.

The CEREC system is simple. We start your appointment with preparing your tooth for treatment. When your tooth is ready, we will capture digital images of your mouth so that we can begin to construct a computer-aided design of what your crown should look like. With our customization, it will be made specifically to look like your remaining teeth. Our milling unit then takes that design from the computer and fashions it into a block of dental porcelain that is custom-crafted to fit exactly on your tooth.

There are many advantages of choosing the CEREC system to make your restorative replacement. CEREC crowns have no metal in them, which makes them more comfortable and benefit patients with certain allergies. The impressions used to make a CEREC crown are digital, meaning they are much easier and more comfortable to take than traditional impression methods. The biggest benefit, however, is how quickly the restoration is produced. With CEREC technology, you don’t have to walk around with an uncomfortable temporary bridge or worse, no tooth at all, until your crown is done. You will leave your appointment with your crown placed and ready to go.

When it comes to dental crowns, CEREC is the most trusted and innovative cutting-edge technology. With our CEREC system, you’ll leave our office with the perfect crown and smile. If you are in need of a dental crown, or want to learn more about our CEREC technology, contact us today.
