What Are CEREC Dental Crowns?
CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a cutting-edge technology that allows us to design, create and place high-quality dental crowns in a single appointment. This process eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits, providing you with immediate and durable results.
The Process of Getting CEREC Crowns
When you visit Dr. Mark Ehrhardt or Dr. John Gittins for a CEREC dental crown, you will experience a streamlined and efficient process. Here is what you can expect:
- Initial Examination: We begin with a thorough examination to determine if a CEREC crown is the right solution for your dental needs.
- Digital Impressions: Using a digital scanner, we create a precise 3D model of your tooth. This method is more comfortable and accurate than traditional impressions.
- Design and Milling: The digital model is used to design your custom crown, which is then milled from a block of ceramic right here in our office. This process takes about 15 minutes.
- Placement: Once the crown is ready, we bond it to your tooth, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance.
Benefits of Same-Day CEREC Crowns
Choosing same-day CEREC dental crowns offers numerous advantages. The most significant benefit is the convenience of completing your treatment in one visit. This is especially beneficial for those with busy schedules. Additionally, CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials, providing both strength and aesthetics that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
