CEREC Crowns

If your teeth are decayed, cracked or chipped, they can be restored with crowns, and CEREC is an advanced dental technology that can create full crowns right in the dentist’s office. Offering a variety of benefits, including strength and quick production, CEREC restorations are the first choice for dentists who have their patients’ best interest in mind. At our office in Fairfield, CT, we use CEREC technology to restore our patients’ smiles.

CEREC restorations are made of compressed porcelain, which is stronger than the layered porcelain crowns created in a laboratory. In addition to being stronger and longer-wearing, CEREC restorations can also be created and installed in only one visit, unlike laboratory restorations, which can take weeks to complete and require a temporary crown or restoration to be placed in the meantime.

The placement procedure for a CEREC restoration is easy and doesn’t require you to bite on any goopy and uncomfortable impression material. First all the decay is removed from your teeth, and then dr. Keith Rudolph shapes the tooth in preparation for the digital 3D video impression that is taken with the digital camera, which is attached to a computer screen that displays the 3D image. This allows the dentist to design the restoration in front of you. Then the CEREC machine will create a crown or restoration in about 15 minutes for the dentist to place. The entire process, from design to installation, takes around an hour for each tooth.

In less than an hour, we can design and place a CEREC crown or restoration for a rejuvenated and renewed smile. To schedule an appointment, call 203-930-1214. For more information, visit www.drkeithrudolph.com.
