One Day CEREC Crowns
For teeth requiring crowns, the usual procedure requires two dental visits spaced approximately two weeks apart. In the time period between appointments, the patient often endures ill-fitting temporary crowns that trap food, cause tooth sensitivity and may fall off at the most inopportune times.
CEREC crowns are an amazing development in dentistry utilizing CAD-CAM technology to prepare and place a crown in a single visit.
The benefits to the patient are obvious:
- less number of dental visits
- less chance of tooth sensitivity
- biologically-compatible porcelain material
- esthetic restoration
The material used for the crown is milled from a single block of porcelain allowing for a much stronger restoration. This procedure is also used for smaller restorations called inlays and onlays offering a superior product to the basic white composite filling.
