What are CEREC Crowns?

CEREC® – Crowns in One Visit! When you suffer from substantial tooth damage, a crown may be the best restoration for your tooth. But getting a crown can take time, from making a custom mold, sending it to the lab, waiting for it to be refit and maybe sending it back again for adjustments. With CEREC technology, all that has changed. CEREC lets your doctor make and place custom fitting porcelain crowns in just one visit. The computerized CEREC machine, guided by the skilled hands of Dr. Patel, simply takes a digital image of your tooth and then carves out a crown – made just for you – in just a few minutes. Dr. Patel then carefully places the crown. It really is that simple! No return visits for fittings and adjustments, no extra numbing shots, and no temporaries. We think you’ll leave feeling great!

What are dental crowns?
Dental crowns are also known as caps. They're a permanently bonded cover for a tooth that is decayed, broken, chipped, cracked or in danger of cracking. They look and function the same way as natural teeth, and strengthen and protect the tooth they cover.

Dental crowns can be made of porcelain, gold, or a porcelain and metal mix.

Caring for your dental crown
After the porcelain crown procedure is done at our dental office, it is home for care of your new dental crown. Keep the porcelain dental crown clean with regular flossing and brushing, just as you do with your natural teeth. It will look and feel exactly like a natural tooth and will preserve the natural tooth underneath it for many years as you give it good care.

If you're interested in the world-class porcelain dental crowns placed in Dr. Tejas Patel's office, please schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Patel, through our treatment coordinator.
