High-Quality Dental Crowns in a Single Visit
At Piedmont Family Dentistry, we proudly offer CEREC same-day crowns—a revolutionary solution that allows us to restore damaged or decayed teeth in just one appointment. Traditional crowns typically require multiple visits and temporary restorations, but with CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, your crown is digitally designed, milled, and placed in a single day.
This cutting-edge approach eliminates the need for messy impressions or waiting weeks for a lab to return your crown. Dr. Joseph Fennell and Dr. Jeanie Sucin specialize in using this advanced technology to deliver fast, durable, and natural-looking restorations—designed to match your unique smile.
What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?
CEREC crowns are custom-crafted ceramic restorations created using digital imaging and 3D milling. Using this innovative process, we can scan your tooth, design your crown with precise detail, and fabricate it right in our office using high-quality dental ceramic. The result is a seamless, long-lasting crown that blends beautifully with your natural teeth.
Benefits of CEREC Technology
- Same-Day Convenience – Walk in with a damaged tooth, walk out with a permanent crown.
- No Temporary Crowns – Eliminate the need for temporary restorations and return visits.
- Digital Precision – Advanced 3D imaging ensures a precise and comfortable fit.
- Natural Appearance – High-quality ceramic materials mimic the look of real enamel.
- Durability – CEREC crowns are built to last, offering strong resistance to wear.
The CEREC Process at Piedmont Family Dentistry
- Digital Imaging – We begin with a digital scan of the affected tooth—no goopy impression trays needed.
- 3D Design – Using CAD/CAM software, your dentist designs a crown that perfectly matches your tooth’s shape and bite.
- In-Office Milling – The custom design is sent to our in-office milling machine, where your crown is carved from a ceramic block.
- Placement and Bonding – The finished crown is bonded to your tooth and polished for a perfect fit—all in one visit.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
CEREC crowns are ideal for patients who need to:
- Restore a broken or worn tooth
- Strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment
- Cover a large filling or cavity
- Protect a cracked tooth
- Improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth
For patients also experiencing extensive decay or infection, we may first recommend Root Canal Therapy before placing the crown.
