Restoring a damaged or decayed tooth traditionally requires multiple appointments, but CEREC technology allows for same-day dental restorations. This advanced system enables Dr. Stephanie Gruenes to create custom dental crowns and other restorations in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple office visits.
With CEREC, patients do not have to wait weeks for a lab-created restoration. Instead, they can receive a high-quality ceramic crown in just one appointment, restoring function and aesthetics immediately. Whether you need a crown for a cracked, weakened or decayed tooth, this technology ensures a fast and effective solution.
How CEREC Works
CEREC, or Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create precise and durable restorations. The process begins with digital impressions, which replace traditional molds for a more comfortable experience. These digital scans are then used to design a custom restoration that matches the patient’s tooth shape and color.
Once the design is complete, an in-office milling machine sculpts the restoration from a high-quality ceramic block. This process takes only minutes, and after a final polish and fitting, the new restoration is bonded to the tooth the same day. Patients leave with a fully restored smile without needing a second visit.
Benefits of CEREC Restorations
Patients who choose CEREC enjoy several advantages, including:
- Same-day treatment – No need for multiple appointments
- No temporary crowns – Permanent restorations in one visit
- Digital impressions – More accurate and comfortable than traditional molds
- Natural appearance – Ceramic material blends seamlessly with teeth
- Durability – Strong and long-lasting restorations
- Minimally invasive – Preserves more of the natural tooth structure
These benefits make CEREC an excellent option for individuals seeking efficient, high-quality dental care without the inconvenience of multiple visits.
