CEREC®
1-Day Crowns Custom Results, Quickly
Have you avoided getting your severely decayed or broken tooth fixed because a dentist told you it would take multiple visits? At our practice, we believe that even the highest-quality dentistry should also be convenient, so that is why we’re happy to quickly repair teeth using 1-day crowns with CEREC. With this system, we can design, mill, and place a completely custom-made all-porcelain dental crown in just one visit, all without the need for a messy, uncomfortable dental impression or outside dental lab.
