If you’re looking to straighten, strengthen, or enhance the appearance or shape of a natural tooth, you might be a good candidate for a CEREC restoration. A CEREC crown utilizes advanced computer technology to reduce the time needed for placement. Unlike traditional crowns, which require at least two visits, a CEREC crown can be completed in just one office visit.

CEREC technology involves the use of computer software and a milling machine to create the crown. Traditional crowns are typically made from metal, resin, or ceramic. CEREC crowns, however, are crafted from a highly natural-looking, translucent ceramic material that closely mimics the appearance of your natural tooth.

Using a small camera inside your mouth, a 3D image of the tooth requiring restoration is captured. This data is transmitted to the computer and then to the milling machine. This method is more accurate than traditional crown technology, reducing the possibility of human error. The crown creation process can be completed in as little as ten minutes.

Once the crown is made, it is placed in your mouth using adhesive and polished to perfection. You can then resume your daily activities. With proper care, a CEREC crown can last anywhere from five to fifteen years. To extend the lifespan of your restoration, avoid grinding your teeth and refrain from chewing on hard foods or objects. CEREC crowns are an excellent choice for restoring both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
