Same Day Crowns — CEREC

What is CEREC®?

Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic, or CEREC® for short, is a state-of-the-art method of reconstructing tooth restorations. CEREC® uses computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to offer single-day restorations for patients. This technology has revolutionized ceramic restorations such as crowns and veneers, so there is no longer a wait between preparing the restoration and receiving the finished product. The restorations created are metal-free and tooth colored to restore your tooth to its natural beauty, strength and function, all in a single visit.

The CEREC® Process

CEREC® uses CAD-CAM technology to design and mill custom restorations during one visit to the dentist, while you are comfortably in the chair.
