CEREC - One Day Crowns

CEREC® CAD/CAM – Got 2 hours? Get a crown

CEREC® CAD/CAM is the epitome of Modern Dentistry! This technology means that in just 2 hours, you can have a new crown, with no temporary solutions and no need for a second visit. CEREC® one-day crowns are created using a process which is less invasive than traditional methods, and delivers durable, natural looking crowns with a precise, custom fit.

Say goodbye to gooey impressions, touchy temporaries, and ill-fitting permanent crowns because CEREC® uses digital imaging so you get a perfect, custom crown without all the mess. CEREC® one-day crowns look better and are easier to get than their traditional counterparts. In addition, all of our CEREC® inlays and onlays are always metal free, so your restorations will blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile.

About Crowns

A dental crown restores your tooth’s shape, size, and strength, and fully encases the visible portion of your tooth or dental implant. Once it is bonded in place, only one of our dentists can remove it, so it is a strong, permanent solution for restoring the appearance and function of your teeth.

A crown may be prescribed by Dr. Kim or Dr. Lee to:

• Restore and protect a tooth that is worn, decayed, cracked, or broken
• Protect and support a tooth after a very large filling or root canal treatment
• Cover a dental implant
• Hold a dental bridge or other prosthetic device in place
• Improve your smile by covering a misshapen or severely discolored tooth

With proper care and good oral hygiene, the life of a crown can range from 5 to 15 years.

A natural tooth-colored porcelain crown can be created using CEREC® CAD/CAM technology, and provides our patients a completed permanent crown in just one office visit. Other types of crowns offered by San Pablo Dental Care require two office visits.
