What Are CEREC Crowns?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This technology allows our Denver dental office to design, create, and place a custom ceramic dental crown in a single visit.
A dental crown covers and protects a tooth that has been weakened by decay, fracture, wear, a large filling, or previous dental treatment. Traditional crowns often require a temporary crown and a second visit after a dental lab creates the restoration. With CEREC, many patients can receive a permanent ceramic crown during one appointment.
At Southeast Denver Dental, CEREC crowns are designed to restore strength, function, and appearance while fitting comfortably with your bite.
How CEREC Same-Day Crowns Work
The CEREC crown process uses digital technology to make treatment more efficient and comfortable. In many cases, no traditional goopy impression is needed.
The process typically includes:
- Tooth evaluation and preparation
Dr. Korosciel examines the tooth, reviews your symptoms, and prepares the tooth so the crown can fit securely. - Digital scanning
A precise 3D scan is taken of your tooth and surrounding bite. Patients interested in the technology behind this process can learn more about digital scanning. - Custom crown design
The crown is designed digitally to match the shape, size, and function needed for your tooth. - In-office milling
The ceramic crown is created in the office using CEREC milling technology. - Final fit and bonding
Dr. Korosciel checks the fit and bite before permanently bonding the crown to your tooth.
Most CEREC crowns are completed in one visit, although treatment time can vary depending on the tooth, bite, and complexity of the case.
Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns
CEREC same-day crowns combine restorative dentistry with modern digital technology. For many patients in Denver, CO, they offer a convenient way to repair a tooth without needing multiple appointments.
Potential benefits include:
- Single-visit crown placement in many cases
- No temporary crown for most same-day crown cases
- Tooth-colored ceramic that blends with your smile
- Digital impressions instead of traditional impression material
- Custom design for fit, comfort, and bite function
- Durable ceramic material for everyday chewing
- Convenient care for patients with busy schedules
CEREC crowns may be recommended for back teeth, front teeth, or teeth that need reliable protection after damage or decay. If a smaller restoration is more appropriate, Dr. Korosciel may discuss dental fillings or inlays and onlays instead.
When You May Need a Dental Crown
A crown may be recommended when a tooth does not have enough healthy structure to support a filling alone. Crowns are often used to protect teeth and restore normal function.
You may need a dental crown if you have:
- A cracked or fractured tooth
- A large cavity
- A worn-down tooth
- A broken or failing filling
- A tooth treated with root canal therapy
- A tooth with significant structural weakness
- A misshapen or discolored tooth needing full coverage
- A tooth that needs restoration as part of a larger treatment plan
If you need more extensive restorative care, Dr. Korosciel may discuss whether full mouth reconstruction and smile makeover treatment is appropriate for your goals and oral health needs.
