CEREC
Same Day Crowns
Unlike traditional crowns CEREC crowns are milled while you wait following a scan of your prepared tooth. This means teeth can be restored straight away.
Same Day Crowns
Crowns are used to restore severely damaged teeth, helping to reinforce the remaining tooth. Traditional crowns are made in a dental laboratory, following preparation and impressions. This can take up to two weeks to complete, during which time patients have a temporary crown in place.
With the advances in technology, our practice has invested in the CEREC system. This allows us to scan the preparation, design the restoration digitally and manufacture the restoration in a 3D milling machine while you wait. This means a second appointment and a temporary crown are not necessary saving you time.
