CEREC - Ceramic Crowns

Modern technology now gives you a one-visit, in-office choice for crowns. CEREC -- which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics – gives you a beautiful, body-friendly reconstruction for heavily compromised (damaged) teeth. It costs less than a traditional crown and saves more of your natural tooth structure to provide for a stronger result.

Our CEREC Ceramic Crown Process

• A defective filling and/or existing tooth decay is removed.
• A very small camera directly in your mouth quickly obtains an optical 3D image.
• Using this optical image information, the crown-like CEREC restoration is created on the computer screen and refined.
• While you wait, diamond-coated instruments mill a ceramic block – chosen to match your natural tooth color – to reproduce the computerized design.
• The new restoration fits precisely with only light polishing.
• A unique light hardens a bonding material, uniting your tooth structure and the ceramic CEREC restoration.
• You’re on your way home in less than two hours!
