CEREC Same Day Dental Crown

Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic or CEREC® is a new state-of-the-art method of reconstructing tooth restorations. CEREC® uses computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to offer single-day restorations for patients. This new technology has revolutionized ceramic restorations such as crowns and veneers for patients so that there is no longer a wait between preparing the restoration and finally receiving the finished product. The CAD-CAM technology is used to design and mill custom restorations while you are sitting in the dental chair, which is both economical for you and your dentist and makes it possible for ceramic restorations to be done in one single dentist visit. The restorations created are metal-free and tooth-colored to restore your tooth to its natural beauty, strength, and function.

4 Step Dental Crown Procedure

1. Exam and Preparation

Before you get started, your dentist will determine if CEREC® is right for you. Depending on how much healthy tooth remains, it may be a simple filling or you may need a crown. After reviewing your options, the dentist will begin the process by administering an anesthetic and preparing your tooth for restoration by removing decay and weakened tooth tissue.

2. Optical Impression

In order to make the desired restoration, a 3D image of the tooth that needs to be restored must be created from a digital camera scan of the tooth. This image will be used to create the restoration without the need to take a messy impression. This means no horrible tasting impression material for you to gag on. The computer and CEREC® 3D software then convert the digital image into a 3D virtual model of the prepared tooth.

3. Milling Unit

This device is used to create the custom restoration needed for the tooth. Based on the original color of your tooth, the dentist is able to select the correct colored ceramic block and in a few minutes, the milling device is able to create the restoration needed.

4. Placing the Restoration

After the restoration is made, to ensure that you get proper fit and bite, the restoration is then tried on. When it is ready, the restoration is polished and bonded into place by your dentist. Therefore, no temporary restoration is needed and no return trip is necessary, saving you time and money.

Types of Dental Crown Materials 

There are a variety of materials that can be used for dental crowns to meet the aesthetic and budget needs of every patient. Metal is the most common material used for patients on a budget. Porcelain-fused-to-metal, tooth-colored, and zirconia are all going to be on the more expensive end due to their more natural appearance. The more crowns you require, the more costly the treatment will be. Some dentists offer discounts if you're receiving multiple at once. 

CEREC® Crowns vs Traditional Dental Crowns

CEREC® crowns are custom dental crowns made same-day in-office using CAM/CAD technology. When you receive a CEREC® crown, you are given the best possible fitting and least time-consuming dental crown option available. Read our full guide on the advantages of a CEREC® crown over a traditional crown.

Cost of CEREC® Crowns in Waukesha County

A single CEREC® crown will cost between $1,200 and $1,700 in Waukesha County. The cost of a CEREC® same-day crown is a few hundred dollars more compared to the traditional dental crown.

The cost of crowns can be dependent on the number of crowns needed, the location of the tooth, the materials used, and the extent of the damage. The more tooth decay, the higher the cost of the crown due to the preparation required to place the crown. Materials vary in quality, aesthetics, and price.
