How CEREC Same-Day Crowns Work

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics; this advanced system enables us to design, mill, and place a ceramic crown in just one visit to our dental clinic.
Here’s how the process works:
- Digital scans — Using a 3-D camera, we’ll scan your tooth. You won’t have to worry about messy, goopy impressions.
- Digital design — We use these digital images to precisely design your crown on a computer, matching the shape and colour of your other teeth.
- In-house milling — While you wait comfortably in your treatment room, our CEREC milling machine creates your crown from a block of ceramic.
- Fitting and placement — Once complete, we place your crown and make any necessary adjustments before permanently bonding it to your tooth.
- Polishing — The final step is to polish your crown and reveal the amazing results.
