CEREC is an alternative to traditional dental crowns that can take 2-3 visits to accomplish. In these traditional cases, your tooth is prepped, an impression made with messy foam, and the design shipped off to a laboratory for creation. You must wear a temporary crown as you wait for the customized crown to arrive and be fit.
With CEREC crowns, these steps go away. Your dentist fits your teeth with high-quality porcelain crowns that are made and placed in just one visit.
The CEREC system includes a high-powered camera, computer-aided design, and an in-house unit to fabricate the onlay. Your dentist uses the camera to create digital images of your teeth that are sent to a computer for design.
The computer transfers the design to the in-house milling unit, which creates the crown in a short time while you wait. The dentists can then cement the crown right away and adjust your bite. You’re ready to go with your new smile in this single visit. Plan for this visit to take one and a half to two hours, only slightly longer than a traditional visit to clean and examine your teeth.
