CEREC - Crowns in a Day!

Kimbolton Dental Practice

Are you looking for a way to restore your damaged or decayed teeth with a natural-looking and durable solution?

If so, you may have heard of dental crowns, which are custom-made caps that cover your entire tooth and improve its appearance and function. However, not all dental crowns are the same. There are different types of materials and methods used to create and place crowns, and some may offer more benefits than others.

What Is Cerec?

One of the most advanced and convenient options for dental crowns is CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Aesthetic Ceramics. CEREC is a system that uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create and place ceramic crowns in a single visit. Unlike traditional crowns, which require multiple appointments, impressions, temporary crowns, and laboratory work, CEREC crowns can be designed, fabricated, and fitted in your mouth in just a few hours.

How does CEREC work?

The process is simple and efficient. First, your dentist will prepare your tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to fit the crown. Then, your dentist will use a special camera to take digital images of your tooth and the surrounding area. These images will be transferred to a computer software that will create a 3D model of your tooth and design a crown that matches its shape, size, and colour. Next, your dentist will send the design to a milling machine that will carve out your crown from a block of high-quality ceramic material. Finally, your dentist will check the fit and appearance of your crown and bond it to your tooth with dental cement.

What are the benefits of CEREC crowns? There are many advantages to choosing CEREC over traditional crowns, such as:

  • Time-saving: You can get your crown in one visit instead of two or more, saving you time and hassle.
  • Comfort: You don’t have to deal with messy impressions or uncomfortable temporary crowns that may fall off or cause sensitivity. Only one visit so repeated injections can be avoided.
  • Accuracy: The digital images and software ensure a precise fit and alignment of your crown, reducing the need for adjustments or corrections.
  • Aesthetics: The ceramic material used for CEREC crowns is strong, stain-resistant, and biocompatible. It also mimics the natural translucency and colour of your teeth, making it virtually indistinguishable from your real tooth.
  • Durability: CEREC crowns are made from a single piece of ceramic, which reduces the risk of cracks or fractures that may occur in traditional crowns that have metal cores or porcelain fused to metal.
