CEREC (CAD/CAM)

At Gentle Smiles Dental, we are committed to providing the most efficient and comfortable care for our patients. One of the advanced technologies we utilize is CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) CAD/CAM, which allows us to offer one-visit crowns. This state-of-the-art technology eliminates the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns, making it easier for you to receive the dental care you need without disrupting your busy schedule.

Traditionally, getting a crown required at least two visits to the dentist. The process would involve taking messy impressions, sending them to an external lab and waiting weeks for your custom crown to be fabricated. In the meantime, you would wear a temporary crown, which could be uncomfortable and prone to coming loose. With CEREC technology, however, this entire process is streamlined into a single appointment.

During your visit, our dentists and team will take a digital scan of your tooth using advanced imaging technology. This scan is used to create a precise 3D model of your tooth. From there, the CEREC software designs a custom crown that fits your unique dental anatomy. Once the design is complete, the crown is milled right in our office using a block of high-quality porcelain that is carefully matched to the color of your natural teeth.

In just minutes, your new crown is ready to be placed. After checking the fit and making any necessary adjustments, our dentists will bond the crown to your tooth and polish it to perfection. The result is a beautiful, durable restoration that looks and feels natural.

CEREC crowns are not only convenient but also long-lasting. The porcelain material used is highly resistant to wear and staining, ensuring that your crown will maintain its appearance and function for years to come. Additionally, the precision of CEREC technology ensures that your crown will fit comfortably and securely, reducing the risk of complications.
