The Process of One-Visit Dental Crowns with CEREC

Step 1: Examination and Preparation Your appointment starts with a thorough examination of the tooth by Dr. Perry. If a crown is needed, the tooth is prepared by removing any decay and shaping the tooth structure. This step is crucial for a proper crown fit.

Step 2: Digital Impressions Forget about the traditional goopy dental impressions. With CEREC, Dr. Perry captures a precise digital image of your tooth using a special camera. This image is then used to create your dental crown’s design.

Step 3: Custom Crown Design The CEREC software creates a 3D model of your crown on a computer screen right in front of you. Dr. Perry makes any necessary adjustments to ensure the crown will fit perfectly with your bite.

Step 4: Onsite Milling Once the crown design is finalized, it’s sent to our in-office milling machine. In just minutes, your dental crown is carved out of a ceramic block that matches the shade of your teeth.

Step 5: Fitting and Bonding The crown is then tried in your mouth to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite. After any final adjustments, Dr. Perry bonds the crown to your tooth, and you’re done!

Step 6: Final Polish Your new crown receives a final polish, leaving you with a natural-looking and durable new tooth surface.

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s a sophisticated system of designing and making high-quality, metal-free dental restorations in one patient visit.

This digital design is then sent to our milling machine that carves the crown out of a ceramic block.

Yes, CEREC crowns are comparable to traditional crowns in terms of fit, durability, and aesthetics. They are also made from high-quality ceramic, which ensures that the crown is strong and can withstand the biting forces just like a traditional crown.

3. How long does a CEREC appointment take?

While the total time may vary depending on the specific case, most CEREC crown appointments at Elite Dental Studio are completed in about two hours. This includes preparing the tooth, designing the crown, milling the crown in-office, and placing it in your mouth.
