What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, and it represents the cutting edge of dental restoration technology. This system utilizes advanced digital imaging and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to create precise, custom-fitted ceramic crowns right in our office. Unlike traditional crowns, which typically require multiple visits and temporary restorations, CEREC crowns are designed, fabricated, and placed in a single visit, saving you time and enhancing your comfort.

Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Time Efficiency

One of the most significant advantages of CEREC technology is the ability to complete the entire crown procedure in a single appointment. This means:

• No Need for Multiple Visits: Eliminates the inconvenience of scheduling multiple appointments.
• Immediate Results: You leave our office with a fully restored tooth the same day.
• Reduced Time Off Work or School: Minimizes disruption to your daily routine.

High-Quality Materials and Aesthetics

CEREC crowns are made from durable, tooth-colored ceramic that closely mimics the appearance of natural teeth. Benefits include:

• Natural Look and Feel: The ceramic material reflects light similarly to tooth enamel, providing a seamless integration with your smile.
• Metal-Free Restorations: Ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or those seeking a more natural appearance.
• Stain Resistance: Ceramic is resistant to staining from coffee, tea, and other common staining agents.

Precision and Customization

Using digital technology, Dr. Haider Kalhan can design a crown that fits your tooth with exceptional accuracy:

• Digital Impressions: Eliminates the need for messy, uncomfortable traditional impressions.
• Exact Fit: Enhances the longevity and functionality of the crown.
• Customized Shade Matching: Ensures the crown matches the color of your surrounding teeth.

Enhanced Comfort

CEREC technology improves patient comfort in several ways:

• No Temporary Crowns: Avoids the discomfort and potential issues associated with temporary restorations.
• Minimized Injections: Reduces the need for multiple numbing sessions across different appointments.
• Streamlined Procedure: The efficient process reduces chair time and associated stress.
