With CEREC technology, our Riverview, FL, dentists Dr. Janis Milne and Dr. Rosie Kickish can restore your smile with a natural-looking and incredibly durable CEREC same-day crown. Here are some commonly asked questions about CEREC crowns,

What is a CEREC crown? 

CEREC stands for chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics, and this advanced technology allows our Riverview, FL, cosmetic dentists to provide same-day restorations to speed up the treatment process and to make sure that patients get permanent crowns the very same day. We’re all about providing convenient, efficient care here at Inspiration Dental.

What should I expect from this procedure? 

From digital impressions to cementing the crown into place, the process can take anywhere from 1.5-2 hours. If you are getting more than one crown the procedure could take a bit longer. There are a few steps involved in getting a CEREC crown including,

• Taking digital impressions of your mouth
• Using CAD/CAM computer software to create your dental crown based on measurements of your tooth
• Choosing the right shade of ceramic material to create your crown
• Placing the ceramic block into the milling station so that it can fabricate your crown
• Fitting and permanently placing the new CEREC crown over your tooth

What are the benefits? 

The first and most obvious benefit is that by streamlining the dental crown and restoration process by bringing everything in-house, we make it possible for patients to restore their damaged teeth in just a single visit.

CEREC crowns are made from durable ceramic that is also matched to the shade of your natural teeth so that it blends it with your smile. CEREC technology creates realistic and incredibly resilient restorations that are comparable to traditional crowns. Since we use digital impressions instead of standard putty molds, we can create crowns with a superior fit.

Another benefit is that you never have to worry about wearing a temporary crown. With traditional crowns, a dental office has to wait weeks a lab to make the crown. This means wearing a temporary crown over your tooth. But if you get a CEREC crown you never have to worry about wearing a temporary crown.
