How Is a CEREC® Crown Placed?
Dr. Bedich will examine your affected tooth and remove any decay. Your tooth will then be filed down and prepared, similar to a traditional crown fitting. A digital photo is taken along with an optical impression that uses a powder brushed onto the teeth. This generates a 3D model of your tooth. With this information and your desired tooth shade, Dr. Bedich is able to construct a beautiful, natural-looking crown with 3D CAD software and a milling unit.
The crown is then bonded onto your tooth immediately. There is no need for a temporary crown or multiple visits. Your new crown is durable and permanent. CEREC® technology allows you to repair your smile quickly and return to your normal activities. This is an especially valuable service when the tooth is in a highly visible area.
