CEREC One Day Crowns

Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or Boca Raton CEREC, allows your teeth to be repaired in one office visit. Orthodontic technology has advanced enough that Crowns that have a natural-color can be made while you wait and put in before you leave the dentist’s office. The fillings are permanent and not a temporary fix until your next appointment. The procedure means less time in the office chair and less time in pain.

The crown is created via an instrument that is a camera, computer, and milling machine in one. The camera is used to take an optical impression of the damaged tooth. That impression is then transferred to the computer. The dentist uses the Computer Aided Design software to design the tooth’s crown. The Computer Aided Manufacturing program then takes over to create the actual crown. The patient doesn’t even need to leave the office while the restoration is created. The restoration can then be bonded to the patient’s tooth. The entire process takes about an hour.

These tooth repairs are safe and effective. There is over twenty years of clinical research in the use of the technology in dentistry. They are plaque resistant and anti-abrasive. The Crowns are completely compatible with the tissues of the mouth. CEREC technology can also create inlays, onlays, and veneers.

This technology actually increases the strength of the tooth, which cannot be said of conventional fillings. It has twice the compressive strength of enamel with the roughly the same wear rate. The CEREC fillings do not stress when exposed to heat and cold, so they exhibit less cracks and breaks. Gold has been the ‘gold standard’ for life expectancy when it comes to fillings, but these fillings actually out last the gold fillings.

The days of temporary crowns and silver fillings are over. The traditional second office visit is also gone. Technology has moved forward and it has taken away your excuse for not getting that cavity filled. This new technology has enabled dentists to repair tooth injuries faster and with a more natural look. You should consider having your dentist use CEREC on all of your future Crowns.
