CEREC

At Signature Dental Care, we believe that your dental care should be efficient and convenient. That’s why we offer CEREC single-visit crowns, a state-of-the-art solution that allows you to receive a durable and aesthetically pleasing crown in just one appointment. With CEREC technology, you can restore your smile quickly and effectively without multiple visits.

What Are CEREC Crowns?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This advanced technology enables us to create custom crowns, inlays, and onlays right in our office. By utilizing 3D imaging and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), we can design and mill your crown on-site, ensuring a perfect fit and immediate results.

Benefits of CEREC Crowns

Choosing CEREC crowns offers numerous advantages:

  • Same-Day Service: With CEREC technology, you can have your crown completed in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments.
  • Precision Fit: The digital scanning process ensures a highly accurate representation of your tooth, leading to a crown that fits comfortably and securely.
  • Durability: CEREC crowns are made from high-quality materials that are both strong and aesthetically pleasing, designed to withstand normal chewing forces.
  • Natural Appearance: The advanced materials used in CEREC crowns closely mimic the color and translucency of natural teeth, providing a seamless look.
  • Less Invasive: The CEREC process often requires less tooth reduction than traditional methods, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

The CEREC Crown Process

The process of getting a CEREC crown at Signature Dental Care is straightforward and efficient:

  1. Initial Consultation: During your visit, we’ll evaluate your tooth and discuss your options for treatment. If a crown is determined to be the best solution, we’ll proceed with the CEREC process.
  2. Digital Impressions: We’ll take a digital scan of your tooth using advanced imaging technology. This creates a 3D model that eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions.
  3. Crown Design: Using CAD software, we’ll design your custom crown based on the digital impressions. You’ll be able to see a 3D representation of the crown before it’s made.
  4. Milling the Crown: Once the design is finalized, we’ll use an in-office milling machine to create your crown from a solid block of ceramic material. This process typically takes about 15-30 minutes.
  5. Fitting and Bonding: After the crown is milled, we’ll check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Once everything is perfect, the crown will be bonded securely to your tooth.
  6. Final Touches: We’ll ensure that your bite feels natural and make any final adjustments before you leave with your new crown.

Caring for Your CEREC Crown

To ensure the longevity of your CEREC crown, follow these care tips:

  • Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Pay special attention to the area around the crown.
  • Avoid Hard Foods: While CEREC crowns are durable, avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or hard candies to prevent damage.
  • Regular Dental Check-Ups: Schedule routine dental visits for professional cleanings and exams to monitor the health of your crown and surrounding teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are CEREC® same-day crowns?

+

Today, there's no need to merely imagine how nice it would be to have a dental crown fabricated in a single visit. With CEREC technology and advanced systems of care, multiple trips to the dentist are a thing of the past! Now, one appointment is all it takes for our skilled and experienced dentist to design, fabricate, and place a naturally beautiful and long-lasting same-day crown. And, best of all, unlike conventional methods of care, you won't have to endure messy dental impressions, wear a temporary crown, or wait weeks for your permanent restoration to come back from the laboratory.

How are CEREC® same-day crowns made?

+

Offering a level of precision and comfort that exceeds conventional methods of care, CEREC technology is nothing short of amazing! Advanced CAD/CAM technology, which stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, enables our dentist to translate images from an optically scan tooth into a 3D virtual model upon which a custom crown can be digitally designed. Once this step is done, the detailed specs are then wirelessly transmitted to a chairside 3D milling machine to fabricate your new ceramic crown while you wait!

What are the benefits of CEREC® same-day crowns?

+

With conventional methods of care, a dental crown can take two to three visits to fabricate and place. However, thanks to the benefits of CEREC technology, we can prepare a tooth, then design, fabricate, and place your new crown, all while you wait.

With CEREC same-day crowns, there's none of the mess of conventional dental impressions, wearing dental temporaries, or waiting for the final crown to come back from the lab. Once the prepared tooth is optically scanned and the restoration digitally designed, your new crown can be milled from the highest quality of dental ceramics that very same visit.

Will my CEREC® same-day crown look natural?

+

CEREC same-day crowns and restorations are fabricated from the highest quality of dental ceramics. Because dental porcelain reflects light in much the same way as dental enamel, your new crown will look flawless, completely natural, and blend seamlessly with your smile.

Do CEREC® same-day crowns last a long time?

+

A CEREC same-day crown offers much more than a convenient approach to getting a dental crown. It is also a high quality, naturally beautiful, extremely durable, and long-lasting dental restoration! The fact is, with proper oral hygiene and routine dental care your new crown will serve your smile well for many years to come.
