CEREC® One-Day Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns

Our CEREC® One-Day Crowns offer numerous advantages over traditional crowns.

The Durability of CEREC®

Unlike traditional crowns, which use a mix of ceramic and metal, CEREC® crowns are crafted entirely from high-quality ceramic. This material is extremely durable but also biocompatible, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions and making sure your crown withstands the wear and tear of daily use.

They Can Match Your Teeth’s Natural Color

The ceramic material can be shaded to blend in with your surrounding teeth, so they won’t stick out or be noticeable in any way. This feature allows you to feel confident and comfortable with your smile.

Convenience

Perhaps the most significant advantage of CEREC® over traditional crowns is the convenience of the process. Traditional crowns require multiple visits: one for preparing the tooth and taking impressions and another for fitting the crown once it’s been manufactured in a lab. This process can take weeks, and you might need to wear a temporary crown. These temporaries are often less comfortable and less durable, posing a risk of dislodgement or breakage.

How CEREC® Crowns Are Made

CEREC® crowns are a revolutionary dental treatment that combines multiple new advancements in computer technology.

Digital Imaging: To start, first, we take a high-resolution digital scan of your entire jaw. This way is faster and more comfortable than traditional dental impressions, which can be unpleasant and messy.

Design: Using the CEREC® software, our dentist in Kokomo designs the crown with a blueprint right in front of you.

Milling: Once the design is finalized, the data is sent to our in-office milling machine, which carves your crown from a solid ceramic block. This process is precise and fast, typically taking less than 20 minutes.

Color Matching and Finishing: After the crown is milled, it is color-matched to your existing teeth to ensure that it blends seamlessly into your smile. The crown is then polished and glazed to achieve a natural appearance.

Fit and Placement: Finally, your new crown is tested for fit and bite alignment. Once confirmed, it is bonded to your tooth. We can make adjustments on the spot if needed, thanks to the on-site technology.

Facts about CEREC® Crowns

CEREC® technology has revolutionized restorative treatments. Here are some interesting facts about CEREC® crowns that highlight their unique advantages:

Precision with CAD/CAM Technology

CEREC® crowns are crafted using advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. This integration allows for exact digital impressions that are far more accurate than traditional molding techniques. The digital model of your tooth is used to design a crown that fits perfectly, eliminating common issues associated with manual moldings, such as gaps or misalignments.

Digital to Physical in a Single Visit

As implied in the name, CEREC® technology can allow your crown to go from a digital scan to a fully formed crown in just one appointment. The CEREC® in-office milling machine sculpts your custom crown while you wait. This saves time and reduces your time spent in a dental chair.

Eco-Friendly Dentistry

CEREC® technology supports eco-friendly dentistry initiatives by eliminating the need for disposable impression materials and reducing the overall resources used in the manufacturing process. The precision of digital impressions reduces waste, making sure that only the necessary amount of dental material is used.
