CEREC Same Day Crowns

CEREC CAD/CAM is a state-of-the-art computer system that designs and generates ceramic dental restorations to conservatively replace broken, cracked or chipped teeth.  Here are just a few of the benefits of CEREC:

  • Single Visit! CEREC crowns conserve tooth structure and require fewer injections, less drilling and less time out of your schedule
  • Restorations contain no metal.
  • CEREC uses strong, tooth-colored ceramic materials;
  • Repairs teeth that have too much damage to be restored with regular fillings;
  • Strengthens the repaired tooth. Silver amalgam fillings can actually cause fractures in the tooth structure Enhances the life and longevity of the tooth Conserves tooth structures.
  • Silver fillings and old-fashioned crowns require the removal of much more of the original tooth than the CEREC system does; Healthier for gum tissue Less traumatic for the tooth.
  • Our restorations are chemically bonded to the tooth, requiring less extraction of healthy tooth material Less discomfort afterwards. Our materials closely match the composition of your natural teeth, which means they react to heat and cold almost the same way your natural teeth do.
