If you’ve ever had a traditional dental crown placed, you likely remember the wait time, temporary crown, and follow-up visit. Fortunately, modern technology now allows many patients to receive a permanent crown in just one visit. CEREC crowns—short for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics—are designed, created, and placed all in the same appointment. Our dentists in Atlanta, GA, are proud to offer this advanced solution for patients who want convenience without compromising quality.
1. One Visit Convenience
One of the biggest benefits of CEREC crowns is that the entire process is completed in a single visit. Traditional crowns often require two appointments spaced weeks apart, but with CEREC technology, you can walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a fully restored smile—all in one day.
2. No Temporary Crowns
With traditional crowns, patients must wear a temporary crown while waiting for the permanent one to be made at an off-site lab. These temporary restorations can be uncomfortable, prone to falling out, and don’t always fit well. CEREC eliminates the need for a temporary, reducing the risk of complications and discomfort.
3. Digital Impressions
Say goodbye to the goopy, uncomfortable impression trays of the past. CEREC uses a digital scanner to take highly accurate 3D images of your teeth. These digital impressions are more precise, more comfortable, and allow for better-fitting restorations.
4. Strong and Durable Materials
CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are both strong and aesthetically pleasing. They’re designed to mimic the natural strength of enamel and can last many years with proper care. The ceramic used is also biocompatible, meaning it’s safe and well-tolerated by your body.
5. Natural Appearance
Same-day CEREC crowns are custom-matched to the color and shape of your existing teeth. Since they’re milled from a single block of ceramic, they have a smooth, lifelike appearance and blend in beautifully with your natural smile. Our dentists in Atlanta, GA, can adjust the shade and contour for the best cosmetic result before placing the crown.
6. Precision Fit
Using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology, are designed with extreme accuracy. This ensures a snug, precise fit, which reduces the likelihood of discomfort, shifting, or future dental issues like decay beneath the crown.
7. Preserves More Tooth Structure
CEREC technology allows for more conservative preparation of the natural tooth. This means that less healthy tooth material needs to be removed compared to traditional crown preparation, which is better for the long-term health of your tooth.
