How the CEREC Process Works
How does the single-visit dental crown process work?
- Dr. Dean will use a camera to take a digital impression of the prepared tooth within seconds.
- The image is displayed on a computer, and CAD (Computer-Assisted Design) technology is used to design a restoration based on your smile.
- The CEREC machine mills the restoration. Dr. Dean will check its fit and color and make sure you are satisfied.
- Dr. Dean will bond the CEREC crown to the tooth. Most patients leave our office in under 2 hours with a healthier, stronger, and more beautiful smile.
Dr. Dean uses CEREC for more than just crowns. CEREC can also produce fillings, inlays, onlays, and veneers.
