Cerec Crowns (Manufactured same day @ practice)

CEREC One-Appointment Crown:

For patients seeking a faster option, crowns can also be created and placed in one appointment using CEREC technology. A computer-assisted system designs and mills a precise, custom crown on-site, eliminating the need for a temporary crown.

Biological Dentistry Considerations

At The Home of Biological Dentistry, our focus is on safe, biocompatible solutions for tooth restoration. We often recommend crowns after:

  • Safe removal of mercury or metal amalgam fillings
  • Protecting weakened teeth, including those that have undergone root canal therapy
  • Restoring broken or compromised tooth structures

Porcelain or ceramic crowns are preferred because they:

  • Avoid metals that may introduce systemic health concerns
  • Are durable and long-lasting
  • Closely mimic the natural appearance of teeth

Takeaway for Patients:

  • Crowns restore tooth strength, function, and aesthetics.
  • Porcelain or ceramic crowns offer a safe, biocompatible, and natural-looking option.
  • Proper oral care and regular check-ups are critical to maintain crown integrity and tooth health.
  • In cases of root canal-treated teeth, crowns help protect the tooth, but patients should remain informed about underlying risks and monitor for infection or sensitivity.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Brush and floss daily to prevent decay and gum disease.
  • Avoid chewing very hard foods that could damage the crown.
  • Attend regular dental visits to ensure the crown and surrounding teeth remain healthy.
