What is CEREC?

Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEREC, is a technology that is quickly gaining popularity throughout the dental community. Traditional dental crowns have always required multiple appointments; the impressions of your mouth should be sent into an off-site lab where the dental crown is created. In the meantime, patients are stuck with a temporary crown which may not provide a great fit. The creation of the crown would take multiple weeks, after which you would have to return to your dentist to get the crown put into place. This process is inconvenient for those with busy lives.

With CEREC, digital impressions are taken at your dentist’s office using a CAD/CAM machine. This process replaces the need for physical impressions. The digital impression is then sent from the CAD/CAM machine into another on-site machine, where your crown is created using a dental ceramic. You will be walking away with your new dental crown within a single appointment.

Do CEREC Crowns Match Up To Traditional Crowns?

Let us put this simply … yes! CEREC crowns are as strong and durable as a crown made off-site. With proper care, your CEREC crown will last you as long as one made at an off-site lab. CEREC crowns are just as cosmetically pleasing as well. Your dentist will be able to have your CEREC crown match the shade and shape of your natural tooth so that nobody can tell that you have a crown in place.
