Finding out that you need a dental crown may seem overwhelming.

If this describes you, then you may be pleased to know that CEREC Single Visit Crowns can ease some of the stress. These crowns are conveniently designed and placed on the same day. Here is what you should know.
What Are CEREC Single Visit Crowns?
CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a type of dental crown that can be designed and placed in a single-day procedure. These crowns are designed in-office using computer-aided design and manufacturing technology to construct the crown out of resin, porcelain, metal, or ceramic.
Top Benefits of CEREC Single Visit Crowns
You can expect several benefits with CEREC crowns.
Same Day CEREC Crowns Are Convenient
Traditional crowns had to be milled in labs outside of the dental office. For this reason, patients would have to come in to have a mold designed and then return several weeks later for the permanent crown.
CEREC crowns eliminate the need for out-of-office design and construction. Instead, you will benefit from being able to have your crown designed and placed all in one visit. This cuts the time you have to spend in the office nearly in half, making it far more convenient.
You Do Not Need Temporary Crowns
As CEREC crowns are placed on the same day, you do not have to worry about wearing temporary crowns. This eliminates the possibility of feeling self-conscious in having to deal with a temporary crown while waiting for your permanent crown to come in.
They Protect Your Teeth From Damage
CEREC crowns are designed to fit snugly on your tooth. It forms a tight seal, which works exceptionally well for keeping bacteria out and protecting your tooth from decay. In addition, they work well to protect cracked or broken teeth from further damage.
