DENTAL CROWNS
CEREC Dental Crowns and Bridges
One-Visit Dentistry
Dental crowns are a great solution to restore your tooth’s function and appearance following a restorative procedure, such as a root canal or when decay has become so advanced that a large portion of the tooth must be removed. Dental crowns can also be used to correct deformed, discolored teeth, or replace worn existing crowns and teeth with multiple fillings. Dental crowns are durable, and also function and look like your other teeth to create a natural looking smile. Best yet, using CEREC® technology, dental crowns can be made and placed the same day without goopy impressions, temporaries or second appointments.
What is CEREC®?
Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic or CEREC® for short is a new state-of-the-art method of reconstructing tooth restorations. CEREC® uses computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to offer single-day restorations for patients. This new technology has revolutionized ceramic restorations such as crowns and veneers for patients so that there is no longer a wait between preparing the restoration and finally receiving the finished product. With CEREC®, the technology is used while you are sitting in the dental chair, which is both economical for you and your dentist. The restorations created are metal-free and tooth colored to restore your tooth to its natural beauty, strength and function. With CEREC®’s CAD-CAM technology, these ceramic restorations can all be done in one single visit to the dentist.
