4 Big Benefits of Cerec and Other One Visit Dental Crowns

Cerec and other one visit dental crowns are designed and manufactured by computers using CAD/CAM technology. They are made in our dental office during your appointment and cemented the very same day.

The process is easy and comfortable. It goes like this:

1.We prepare and shape your tooth for the new crown.
2. We scan your teeth with a special wand that creates a 3 dimensional image of the tooth being repaired.
3. We feed that image into a machine that creates your new porcelain crown or filling within minutes, right there in the office.
4.The last step is having your new crown cemented onto your tooth. You get to leave with your tooth repaired in just one day.

We have been providing Cerec and similar crowns for years and love the quality and convenience they provide.

Our patients love them too. Here is why:

Fewer trips and less time in the dental chair. Instead of requiring two visits, one to prepare the tooth for your crown and the other to cement it after it has been made at the lab, your new crown is completed in just one visit.

No messy and uncomfortable impressions. Our patients love not having to have trays of gooey stuff put in their mouths after each crown preparation. They find the 3D wand is easy and comfortable.

No temporary crowns. Dental labs would take about 2 weeks to make a crown and during that time patients would have a temporary crown in place. While we developed a reputation for making high quality temporary crowns that last, the materials were not perfect and could sometimes fail. With same day crowns, no temporary crowns are needed.

The fillings and crowns are metal free. This can result in a more natural looking appearance and is often preferred by holistic medical doctors..

Dentists who offer same day crowns have specialized training in how to achieve the best results. In our office we are committed to continuing our education in all areas of dentistry, including Cerec and other one visit dental crowns.

Same day crowns look good, feel good, and last a long time.

8 Reasons Our Patients Love Cerec Same Day Crowns

One of our favorite recent advances in dentistry is the evolution of computerized fabrication systems that allow us to create permanent crowns in our office in a short period of time.  Because of Cerec and similar systems, you can now get your dental crowns in just one visit.

In the past, crowns were a two appointment process.  At the first appointment the dentist would prepare the tooth, take dental impressions with sticky materials, and fabricate a temporary crown to be worn for about two weeks. When you returned the temporary was removed and a new crown that was made at a lab was permanently cemented.

Cerec has streamlined the process and made it much more patient friendly.  Our patients appreciate:

• Saving time and trips by having their crown completed in one visit.
• Only having dental anesthetic once 
• Not wearing temporary crowns for a couple weeks
• Beautiful, natural looking, color matched restorations
• Crowns made of strong, bio-compatible, and natural looking materials
• Metal free dentistry
• Digitized shaping of crowns for an ideal fit
• The ability to finish complex treatment plans in a shorter period of time
