What Is a CEREC Crown?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Using digital imaging and computer-aided design technology, we create custom ceramic crowns right in our office.
Traditional crowns typically require:
- Temporary crowns
- Physical impressions
- Multiple appointments
- Weeks of waiting
With CEREC, your crown can often be designed, fabricated, and placed during the same visit.

When Is a Crown Needed?
Dental crowns are commonly used to:

- Protect weakened teeth
- Cover large fillings
- Complete root canal treatment
- Improve tooth appearance
Because crowns cover the entire visible portion of a tooth, they provide both strength and cosmetic improvement.
