Same Day Porcelain Crowns

CEREC, or Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, offers a wide range of advantages over conventional methods in customization and fabrication of tooth colored crowns, inlays, and onlays. Also called single-visit crowns, these porcelain restorations created using CEREC technology, look and feel completely natural. A tooth damaged due to decay or injury can be restored the same day in our office with a restoration that blends perfectly with the other teeth.

Advantages of CEREC Same Day Crowns

Traditionally, placing a crown required multiple visits to the dentist’s office, which included the use of impression materials and a temporary crown while the patient waited for the final restoration to be fabricated at a dental laboratory. With CEREC, you can leave our office with a beautifully crafted, custom all-porcelain crown completed at your first visit. There is no need for a temporary restoration, and all impressions are digital. This means that you do not need to deal with the discomfort of impression putties; simply sit back and relax while Dr. Rauk creates a 3D digital model of your teeth with the CEREC camera. This information is then transmitted to our in-office milling unit where your beautiful new crown is created from tooth-colored porcelain.

CEREC technology also allows Dr. Rauk to preserve more of your natural tooth when preparing your restoration. The advanced design and fabrication process ensures a precise fit for ultimate comfort and exceptional aesthetics. Because the tooth-colored ceramic material used to create your crown is resistant to plaque and stains, your smile will continue to look naturally beautiful for years to come.
