With the busiest season now upon us, the holiday season leaves little time for visits. But what happens if you have a dental emergency, such as if you’ve cracked or damaged a front tooth? You can’t wait for weeks to get it. The good news is our dental professional provides a quick fix with CEREC same-day dental crowns!

What Is CEREC?

It is a treatment procedure that allows our dental professional to style, mill, and cement a new dental crown in just one appointment at our office. That means if you chip a tooth in the morning, we have emergency consultations readily available, and you can once more have a full smile by supper. Unlike the conventional dental crown procedure, CEREC treatment means you won’t have to wait weeks in an uncomfortable temporary crown while a dental laboratory produces your restoration. Instead, our in-house CEREC milling machine efficiently completes this entire procedure as you rest comfortably in the dentist’s chair!

Our CEREC Treatment Process

If you recently cracked a tooth or had an old crown pop off, you’re a great candidate for CEREC same-day repairs. At your consultation, we’ll first prepare your tooth to ensure that your new dental crown will fit without appearing unnatural or bulky. Then, we’ll take digital impressions of this tooth that are submitted directly into our design software. Next, we’ll electronically create your new dental crown for an accurate and aesthetic fit before sending this design to our in-house CEREC milling machine. This machine will custom-make your restoration from a block of porcelain in under thirty minutes. After that, we’ll shade-match the crown to your teeth and polish it so it feels and looks natural. When your dental crown is cemented in position, your consultation is done!
