In today’s fast-paced world, nobody wants to spend multiple visits at the dentist for treatments that could be completed quickly. Hillside Dental in Las Vegas is excited to offer same-day crowns using CEREC technology – a breakthrough that brings convenience, precision, and durability to dental restorations.

What is CEREC Technology?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, which uses CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology to create dental crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers in just one visit. Unlike traditional methods, which often require multiple appointments and temporary crowns, CEREC can deliver beautiful, custom-fitted restorations in a single visit.

The CEREC Process Step-by-Step

1. Digital Scanning: The process starts with a 3D digital scan of your tooth using a special camera. This scan captures an accurate image of the affected area, allowing your dentist to design a custom crown right in the office, eliminating the need for uncomfortable, messy impressions.

2. Precision Design: With the 3D image, CEREC software creates a digital model of your crown. This model is then refined to ensure it will fit perfectly with your bite, size, and shape of the surrounding teeth.

3. Milling the Crown: Once the design is finalized, the data is sent to an in-office milling machine. This high-precision device carves the crown from a solid block of ceramic material that matches the color of your natural teeth. The process typically takes only about 15 minutes.

4. Crown Placement: After milling, the dentist polishes and checks the crown for accuracy, making any necessary adjustments before cementing it onto your tooth. This strong, custom-made crown is ready to function just like your natural teeth.

The Advantages of CEREC Same-Day Crowns

•          Time-Saving: Same-day crowns mean no need for a second appointment, reducing your time away from work or other commitments.

•          No Temporary Crowns: Traditional crowns require a temporary crown while the permanent one is made, but CEREC crowns eliminate this inconvenience.

•          Precision Fit: Digital imaging and CAD/CAM technology ensure that your crown is custom-fit for both comfort and function.

•          Natural Look: CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic that closely resembles natural tooth enamel, creating a seamless, natural look.
