CEREC Crowns Offer a Quick and Comfortable Solution
When a tooth becomes damaged or decayed, fractured, or you just had a root canal, a dental crown can restore the tooth’s strength, shape, and function. Traditionally, getting a crown took multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and a waiting period for a dental lab to create the final product. However, with CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology at Majidian Dental, you can receive a high-quality, custom crown in just one visit.
The CEREC Crown Process
- Examination and Preparation: The procedure begins with a dental evaluation to determine if a CEREC crown is the right solution. If approved, the dentist will prepare your tooth by removing any decay or damaged areas and shaping it for the crown.
- Digital Impressions: Instead of traditional gooey impressions, CEREC uses a small intraoral camera to take digital scans of your teeth. These 3D images are highly accurate and help design a perfectly fitted crown on-site.
- Custom Design with CAD/CAM Technology: Your dentist will design the crown in the office using specialized CAD/CAM software. This process is fast, precise, and tailored to match your bite, tooth color, and shape.
- Milling the Crown On-Site: The design is sent to the CEREC milling unit, which crafts your crown from a solid ceramic block. This process usually takes about 15–20 minutes, and you can often watch it being created!
- Fitting and Placement: Once milled, the crown is polished, color-matched, and tried in to ensure proper fit and bite. Minor adjustments are made if needed. The crown is then bonded to your tooth using a strong dental adhesive.
