Learn how a CEREC crown can transform your smile


Spreading joy, improving attitude and relieving stress are just some of the side effects of smiling more often. A damaged tooth can be stressful and inconvenient, however, advancements in CEREC technology will give you even more reasons to show off your amazing smile.

Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEREC, allows for same-day restoration of dental crowns. This means that Artistic Dental patients in need of a crown no longer need to come for multiple appointments as we wait on a lab to manufacture and send back. Now, patients only need to come in for one appointment that usually takes a couple of hours.

How it works:

The advanced technology takes an exact image of your tooth and uses it to create a permanent restoration crown. After being precisely shaped, the permanent crown is immediately placed on your tooth. The quick process is just one of the benefits of the CEREC method.

Benefits of CEREC over traditional methods:
 

Fixed in one visit: Other restoration systems require impressions of patient’s teeth be sent to a lab. CEREC technology is not only fast, but precise. 

No temporary crowns: Some procedures require that patients wear a temporary crown while waiting for the new one to come in. CEREC allows patients to get a new crown right way! 

Precise digital imaging: CEREC uses digital imaging to accurately scan a patient’s tooth without any uncomfortable impressions needed.

Innovative porcelain material: Metal crowns can be distracting from the natural color of your teeth. CEREC crowns are made of ceramic material that’s compatible with tissue in your mouth, plaque-resistant and anti-abrasive. The crowns can be custom-made to the exact shade of the patient’s teeth making them virtually unnoticeable.

Preserves your natural teeth: CEREC is valuable for dentists and patients because it preserves and protects your natural teeth.

The images below represent what your teeth may look before and after you get a CEREC crown:
