CEREC crowns are made utilizing cutting-edge technology in our office during a single visit. We have been placing all-porcelain crowns utilizing CEREC since 2009.

Crowns are a cosmetic restoration used to improve your tooth’s shape or to strengthen it. They are most often used for teeth that are broken, worn, or have portions destroyed by tooth decay. Crowns are “caps†cemented onto an existing tooth which fully cover the portion of your tooth above the gum line. In effect, the crown becomes your tooth’s new outer surface.

Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal or both. Porcelain crowns are most often preferred because they mimic the translucency of natural teeth and are very strong. Crowns are also often preferred to silver amalgam fillings.

Unlike fillings, which apply metal fillings directly into your mouth, a crown is fabricated away from your mouth. Your crown is created in a lab from a unique tooth impression which allows a dental laboratory technician to examine all aspects of your bite and jaw movements. Your crown is then sculpted just for you so your bite and jaw movements function normally when the crown is placed.
