Same Day CERC Crowns
Why do I need a crown?
Your tooth may require a crown or “cap” for various reasons. In general, if more than half the tooth structure has been weakened due to decay, crack or fracture, the ideal treatment is a crown.
What is a crown?
A dental crown is a tooth shaped restoration that completely covers or “caps” your tooth restoring its strength and appearance.
Crowns can be made from many different materials
- Ceramic
- Resin
- Metal/gold
- Porcelain
- A combination of porcelain and metal (porcelain-fused-to-metal or PFM)
What is a CEREC same day crown?
Traditional crowns are a great option in some cases but can take weeks to be made, leaving you with a temporary crown and having to come back for another appointment 2-3 weeks later.CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) are ceramic crowns designed and milled in the dental office and ready to be completed within a couple hours saving you from the hassle of a temporary and another appointment. CEREC crowns use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) for a great-fitting, long-lasting crown in a single visit.

HOW IT WORKS:
Four simple steps to your new tooth:
Step 1. Imaging
We capture an image of your tooth with a digital scanner.
Step 2. 3D Modeling
A 3D model of your teeth and your new restoration is created on the computer.
Step 3. Fabrication
The restoration is then fabricated from a ceramic block on our milling machine, right in our office.
Step 4. Placement
The dentist places the custom-fit restoration a short time later, during the same visit.
