What is CEREC Same-Day Crown Technology?
CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a state-of-the-art system that allows us to design, mill, and permanently place your custom-fitted, high-quality ceramic crown all in a single appointment. This advanced technology has revolutionized the dental crown process, offering unparalleled efficiency and exceptional results.
The Streamlined Process: From Digital Scan to Dazzling Smile
The journey to your new, perfectly restored smile with CEREC, led by our dentists, is incredibly efficient and comfortable:
- Precise Digital Impressions: The streamlined process begins with our precise digital impression system. We utilize a small, comfortable intraoral scanner to capture highly accurate 3-D images of your tooth, eliminating the need for unpleasant and messy traditional putty molds. This advanced scanning technology ensures a precise fit for your new crown.
- Custom Design with CAD Software: This digital data is then transferred to our specialized computer-aided design (CAD) software. Here, our experienced dentists create a detailed 3-D model of your new crown. We meticulously design your crown to ensure it perfectly matches the unique shape, size, and shade of your natural teeth, guaranteeing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result that blends flawlessly with your smile.
- In-Office Milling for Instant Results: Once the design is finalized, the information is sent to our sophisticated in-office milling unit. This advanced machine meticulously carves your durable, tooth-colored ceramic crown from a solid block of high-quality material, often in less than an hour, while you wait comfortably in our office. You can relax, read, or catch up on work while your new crown is being crafted right before your eyes.
- Permanent Placement in a Single Visit: Once milled, the crown is polished to a natural luster, ensuring it looks and feels just like a natural tooth. It is then permanently bonded to your prepared tooth. This efficient process means you can walk out of our Temple office with a strong, beautiful, and fully functional crown, restoring your smile's health and aesthetics immediately.
