CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) uses digital imaging and in-office milling to create a permanent crown in about 2 hours.

Benefits of CEREC crowns:

• One visit — no need for multiple appointments

• No messy impressions — we use digital scans

• No temporary crown to worry about

• Strong, long-lasting ceramic materials

• Natural look — color-matched to your teeth

Crowns are used to restore and protect teeth that are:

• Severely decayed or damaged

• Cracked, chipped, or worn down

• Treated with a root canal

• Misshapen or discolored

• Supporting a bridge to replace missing teeth

1. Digital Scan – We capture a 3D image of your tooth.

2. Design – Your crown is digitally designed chairside.

3. Milling – Our in-office CEREC unit mills your custom crown.

4. Bonding – The crown is permanently placed — all in the same visit.

Crowns can also be used to create a lifelike replacement for a missing tooth. This is done with bridgework, which spans the space of the missing tooth and requires at least three crowns. Two of those crowns will be placed over healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth; these healthy teeth are referred to as abutment teeth. The two crowned abutment teeth become supports for a third crown placed in between them; that third crown is referred to as a pontic. If more than one tooth is missing, more crowns will be needed to bridge the gap in between the abutment teeth.

A dental bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth. It consists of:

• Abutment teeth – crowned teeth on either side of the gap

• Pontic – the replacement tooth or teeth anchored in place

Bridges restore chewing ability, prevent teeth from shifting, and give you back a natural smile.

• Brush and floss daily, especially around bridge areas

• Avoid chewing ice, pens, or very hard foods

• Wear a night guard if you grind or clench

• Schedule regular dental checkups to keep restorations strong

Q: How long do CEREC crowns last?
A: With proper care, same-day crowns can last 10–15 years or more, just like lab-made crowns.

Q: Are same-day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?
A: Yes. CEREC crowns are milled from durable ceramic designed to withstand everyday chewing.

Q: What if I need a bridge instead?
A: Bridges typically require at least two appointments since they involve multiple teeth. However, crowns for the supporting teeth can still be made with CEREC for convenience.
