One-Visit CEREC® Crowns in Richardson, TX
Cerec® crown technology has revolutionized the way dental crowns are made and placed. Before Cerec, patients were required to make several office visits. First, they had to endure a messy impression tray and an often ill-fitting temporary crown. Then they had to wait weeks for the permanent crown to come back from the lab. Now Cerec one-visit crowns are created using digital technology and milled on a state-of-the-art machine that is located in our office.

Uses of Cerec Crowns
Cerec crowns can fix lots of dental problems. A tooth that is worn or cracked can be strengthened with a crown. A missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant topped with a Cerec crown. Crowns are also used to anchor dental bridges. Crowns can be useful for purely cosmetic purposes to cover a discolored, small or misshapen tooth.
