CEREC Crowns: Using Advanced Technology for Same-Day Results [Video Inside]

When looking for a dentist, you want the best of the best for your smile. But what is the mark of a great dentist? For many patients, compassionate care is more important than experience or innovative technology. But what if you could combine all 3 qualities? At Healthy Habit Dental Care, we use patient-centered solutions that focus on your comfort, while utilizing advanced dental technology to provide the best outcomes! Innovative technology like CEREC crowns allows us to improve the quality of your care, offering same-day solutions for your convenience.

What Is CEREC?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic.

This machine uses modern computing technology to craft your dental restorations in-house, resulting in quicker, more efficient treatments. Specifically, CEREC utilizes CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/manufacturing) technology that shapes dental crowns to fit your smile.

Using innovative 3D dental imaging, we take an impression of your teeth. Based on this impression, we design a custom crown that will fit naturally in your smile. Then, with our design as a guide, we use the CEREC machine to fabricate your crown from high-quality ceramic.

Typically, the dental crown process takes at least a few days, as we need to send the design to a dental lab for fabrication. But with CEREC crowns, we can restore your smile in just one appointment!

Same Day CEREC Crowns

A dental crown is a custom cap that fits over your tooth, mimicking the appearance and function of a natural tooth.

When a tooth’s structure is too damaged for a simple filling, we may use a dental crown instead. This covering resembles a natural tooth and secures directly over your tooth to protect it.

At Healthy Habit Dental Care, we provide same-day crowns. This means that you’ll come to your appointment and leave that day with a fully restored tooth, no temporary crown necessary.

We begin with a free consultation, during which we assess the damage and determine the appropriate treatment.

Once you arrive at your procedural appointment, we will numb your mouth and prepare your tooth. The preparation process involves removing a small layer of your enamel on all sides and shaping the tooth to a smaller size that fits the crown on top.

Then, we’ll take a digital scan of your tooth and design your crown to look as natural as possible. Thanks to our CEREC machine, we’re able to design and fabricate your custom crown in one visit. Using innovative CAD/CAM technology, the machine will mill a block of high-quality ceramic into your crown. This process is highly accurate, fabricating an exact replica of the design we send to fit perfectly over your tooth.

When it’s done, we will place the crown over your prepared tooth. Then, we’ll check the fit and appearance, take X-rays to confirm everything looks right, and ensure that it feels comfortable in your mouth. If everything is good, we will cement your crown in place, restoring your smile. The entire process is typically done within two hours, saving you time and money on appointments.
