What Are CEREC Dental Crowns?
CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a revolutionary dental technology that creates same-day crowns. Unlike traditional crowns requiring multiple visits and temporary solutions, CEREC crowns are crafted and placed in just one appointment.
This innovation is powered by advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology. Using precise digital scanning and in-house milling, CEREC delivers perfectly tailored ceramic crowns that match your teeth seamlessly. Say goodbye to multiple appointments and uncomfortable temporary crowns!
The Swift, Simple CEREC Process
Getting a CEREC dental crown at La Costa Dental Excellence is an easy and hassle-free experience. Here’s what happens during your appointment:
1. Digital Scan of Your Tooth
Using a specialized intraoral camera, your dentist captures a highly detailed 3D image of your tooth and surrounding areas. This eliminates the need for messy impressions.
2. Precise CAD Design
The digital scan is used to design a custom-fit crown using CAD software. This ensures exactly the right shape, size, and color match for a natural look.
3. On-Site Milling
Next, your crown is created using the in-house CEREC milling machine. Within minutes, a block of ceramic is shaped into a perfect custom crown.
4. Crown Placement
Dr. Stephen Dankworth or Dr. Kimberly Corrigan-Dankworth carefully checks the fit and aesthetics of your crown before bonding it securely to your tooth. You walk out with a durable, beautifully restored smile!
