Offering CEREC in his NYC office is one of the ways Dr. Siegelman and our team ensure a convenient and stress-free experience for our patients. This same-day dentistry option makes it easy to get your new crown without disrupting your life.
What Are CEREC Crowns?
Chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics (CEREC) is a state-of-the-art system that allows our team to create custom dental crowns in one visit to our NYC office. Traditionally, getting a crown requires multiple appointments, and you must wear a temporary crown while waiting for the permanent one.
With CEREC, we use advanced CAD/CAM technology to design and fabricate your crown in our office based on your mouth anatomy and unique tooth restoration needs.
The CEREC Process
The CEREC process begins with a digital scan of your tooth. We use this digital model to design your crown. Our in-office milling machine precisely follows that design to create your new crown from a ceramic block.
We carefully match the ceramic color to your natural teeth. In addition, we use permanent paints and glazes to further tailor the appearance of your new crown before “finishing” it in our in-office kiln. After that, we can apply the new crown and restore your smile.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
One of the most significant advantages of CEREC crowns is the convenience of having your dental restoration completed in a single visit. If you experience anxiety in the dental chair or don’t have the time to devote to multiple dental appointments, CEREC can offer an excellent solution.
Using the digital approach to dental impressions before CEREC means you don’t have to deal with messy mouth molds. In addition, digital scans are more precise than old-fashioned mouth impressions, leading to better-fitting crowns.
Another benefit is the durability of CEREC crowns. They’re long-lasting, with most patients experiencing 10-15 years or longer longevity. Some evidence suggests that CEREC crowns may last longer than traditional porcelain crowns.
