CEREC technology allows Dr. Nugent to custom design a crown on the computer. You and Dr. Nugent will choose the shade and shape of the tooth. If any corrections are needed Dr. Nugent makes the adjustments on the computer. Then he will send it to his milling machine to be fabricated all while you are at the office.
CEREC utilizes CAD/CAM equipment to give Dr. Nugent a three dimensional view of your tooth and surrounding structures.
Dr. Nugent scans your teeth with CEREC’s 3D camera, making virtual digital impressions. The images are fed into CEREC’s powerful imaging software.

We have invested in cutting-edge dental technology in order to offer you the healthiest smile conceivable. Adding CEREC same-day crowns is one such investment. The primary benefits of same-day CEREC crowns are their time saving and convenient nature. There are additional benefits that have contributed to the widespread adoption of this procedure.
Advantages of CEREC Crowns
Immediately, the Function of your Teeth is Restored.
Your teeth influence your expression, as well as your eating and speaking habits. You must be very cautious when eating if you must wear temporary plastic crowns while you wait for the offsite dental lab to create the permanent crowns. A misplaced bite or mildly sticky food may cause the crown to dislodge, leaving you with a sensitive tooth. This is never the case with crowns placed the same day.
Prevents Tooth Damage
With traditional crowns, you’ll wear a temporary crown for a few days or maybe longer than a week. The temporary crown does not always fit precisely in your mouth, and it is possible for it to become dislodged. This leaves the tooth structure vulnerable to injury and also makes it sensitive to heat and cold. Same-day CEREC crowns reduce the risk of injury by providing a custom-fitted crown in a single appointment.
Saves you Time and Money
Additional visits and temporary crowns cost both time and money. Since you will only visit our office once, this helps to keep costs low and saves you money. Additionally, fewer appointments means less time away from work.
Comfort
Temporary crowns are typically made of plastic and are rarely an exact fit, which may cause some discomfort. Because CEREC crowns are made of ceramic and are custom-fitted, they are comfortable and will not cause any dental problems.
Aids in Preventing Decay
If a temporary crown falls off, your tooth may become susceptible to cavities and plaque. With CEREC crowns, the permanent crown is affixed to the tooth with a hermetic seal, thereby reducing the risk of tooth decay.
How CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns Have Revolutionized Dentistry
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) same-day dental crowns have transformed the way dentists approach restorative procedures. Traditionally, getting a dental crown required multiple appointments over several weeks. Patients would need an initial appointment to have their tooth prepared, impressions taken, and a temporary crown placed while waiting for the permanent crown to be fabricated at an off-site lab. However, with the advent of CEREC technology, patients can now receive a custom, high-quality crown in just one visit. This innovation has not only revolutionized the dental experience but also improved the convenience and efficiency of dental care.
1. Speed and Convenience
One of the most significant benefits of CEREC crowns is the ability to complete the entire procedure in a single visit. In just a few hours, the dentist can take digital impressions, design the crown, and mill it on-site using computer-aided technology. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and the inconvenience of multiple dental appointments. Patients no longer have to schedule multiple visits or deal with the discomfort of temporary crowns, making the entire process faster and more convenient.
2. High-Quality and Precision
CEREC crowns are made using advanced 3D imaging and CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. This allows for highly accurate digital impressions of the teeth, which results in a crown that fits perfectly. The precision of digital impressions reduces the risk of human error, ensuring a better fit and more natural appearance than traditional methods that rely on physical molds. Furthermore, CEREC crowns are made from durable ceramic materials that closely resemble the natural color and translucency of tooth enamel, providing an aesthetically pleasing result.
3. Comfort and Accuracy
The use of digital impressions in CEREC technology also improves patient comfort. Instead of biting down on messy impression material, which can be uncomfortable or cause gagging for some patients, CEREC uses a small camera to capture precise 3D images of the tooth. This digital process is more accurate and less invasive, leading to a more comfortable experience for the patient and a better-fitting final crown.
4. Durability and Strength
CEREC crowns are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials, known for their strength and durability. These crowns are designed to withstand the same wear and tear as traditional crowns, providing long-lasting protection for damaged or weakened teeth. With proper care, a CEREC crown can last for many years, making it a reliable solution for restoring function and appearance.
5. Improved Patient Experience
The ability to receive a custom dental crown in just one visit has greatly improved the overall patient experience. Same-day crowns eliminate the need for temporary crowns, which can be uncomfortable and prone to damage. Patients also enjoy the convenience of completing their treatment in a single appointment, reducing time spent in the dental chair and minimizing disruption to their daily lives.
In conclusion, CEREC same-day dental crowns have revolutionized dentistry by offering patients faster, more accurate, and more comfortable treatment. This innovative technology provides high-quality, long-lasting results without the hassle of multiple visits or temporary crowns, making it a game-changer in modern dental care.
