CEREC (Single Visit) Crowns
Your smile is valuable and so is your time. Now you can have strong, beautiful, porcelain crowns milled and placed in a single office visit. With CEREC technology, many of our patients have enjoyed the convenience of single-visit crowns.
We understand the inconvenience patients face with the traditional crown process, and because we understand that time is valuable, we use this revolutionary process whenever it is possible. Sometimes there are various factors involved, such as position of the teeth or wear patterns, that require a lab fabricated crown.
How does CEREC work?
First, we prepare the tooth by applying a thin layer of reflective powder directly on the tooth's surface. Using a special camera, we then take a 3D image of the tooth. We work from this image, which is actually a pin-sharp optical impression of the tooth. Computer Aided Design Technology helps us design the crown from the optical impression. You can actually watch us design your new crown on a full-color computer monitor right before your eyes! Then, CEREC creates an extremely precise restoration. 
A high-speed diamond bur and a disk work simultaneously to mill the restoration out of a solid block of ceramic material. Finally, we bond the newly milled restoration to the tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry. Over a decade of clinical research and experience supports the CEREC technology. User input and research have helped the manufacturer improve the product during this time. Dentists have performed over four million restorations worldwide.
CEREC allows you to spend less time in the dental chair and more time sharing your smile.
