How CEREC Technology Creates Custom Crowns in Just One Visit

When a tooth is cracked, decayed, or weakened, a dental crown is often the best way to restore its strength and appearance. Traditionally, this meant multiple appointments, temporary crowns, messy impressions, and weeks of waiting. Today, thanks to advanced CEREC technology, our dentist in Tinley Park, IL can design, create, and place your custom crown in a single visit.

 

What Is CEREC Technology?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, and it allows dentists to create ceramic restorations right in the office. Through a combination of digital scanning, 3D design, and in-office milling, the CEREC system eliminates the need for traditional impressions and temporary crowns. This technology is a major advancement in restorative dental treatments, offering patients a faster, more comfortable, and highly precise experience.

 

How CEREC Creates Your Custom Crown

•          Digital Scan Instead of Impressions: Your visit begins with a digital scan of your tooth using an intraoral camera. This creates a highly accurate 3D model - no trays, no putty, and no discomfort.

•          Precise Digital Design: Your dentist uses the 3D scan to design your custom crown. Every contour, ridge, and surface is shaped to fit your bite and match your natural teeth.

•          On-Site Milling of Your Crown: Once the design is finalized, it’s sent to our in-office milling machine. The CEREC mill sculpts your crown from a high-quality ceramic block in just minutes.

•          Immediate Placement: After the crown is polished and color-matched, it’s bonded to your tooth right away. There’s no need for temporary crowns or a second visit.

 

Why Patients Love Same-Day Crowns

Choosing same-day crowns in Tinley Park offers several major benefits:

•          No temporary crowns required

•          Only one appointment needed

•          Digital precision for a better fit

•          Durable, natural-looking ceramic materials

•          More comfort, less time in the chair

CEREC crowns look and feel just like your natural teeth and with proper care, they can last many years.
