How do Cerec® crowns differ from traditional crowns?
Do you require a dental crown but don't want to wait weeks for a restoration? Now there's a fast and effective alternative with CEREC crowns. Unlike traditional dental crowns, CEREC crowns are created in just one visit. They use special scanning software to create a custom fit with the highest level of accuracy and detail possible. This means you won’t have to come back for adjustments or repairs.

WHY DO I NEED A DENTAL CROWN?
Dental crowns are recommended by a dentist when a tooth is broken, severely damaged, or decayed to the point where a filling can't be placed. A crown can cover the visible surface of the tooth or fill in a portion of the tooth to prevent further deterioration. Crowns can also protect broken teeth and enhance the appearance of your smile.
Traditional crowns have been used for decades and require multiple dental appointments to complete. This is because conventional crowns require a dentist to get an impression of your tooth. The dental impressions are then sent to a lab off-site so the crown can be created. This process can be time-consuming because you have to come back several times to complete the procedure. Instead, a CEREC dentist may suggest a same-day solution that's far easier and more convenient.
HOW ARE CEREC CROWNS MADE?
As we mentioned, CEREC crowns are made in one visit, thanks to a new digital scanning process. Dr. Cait Smiles Dentistry & Aesthetics uses what's known as computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (or CAD/CAM) to take a complete digital image of your teeth. The 3-D images are then used to manufacture a crown using ceramic blocks that match the color and shade of your teeth.
