When a tooth's structure has become severely damaged due to decay, fracture, or injury, placement of a porcelain dental crown is often recommended to preserve and protect as much of the natural tooth material as possible. However, in the past, dental crown placement required an inconvenient wait while crowns were crafted at an offsite facility. Now, thanks to the innovative CEREC® system available at our Boynton Beach, Palm Beach, and Boca Raton-area practice, dental crowns and other porcelain restorations can be designed, crafted, and placed in a single visit. Patients with busy schedules will especially welcome the convenience of CEREC® one-visit dental crowns, but virtually any patient will appreciate the beautiful results we are able to achieve using CEREC®.
CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) was created by Sirona Dental Systems, a leading manufacturer of CAD/CAM systems specifically designed for dental application. The CEREC® system consists of a digital camera which creates images of the tooth to receive the new crown, imaging software that resolves the camera images into a 3-D model of the tooth which is used to design the new crown, and a precision milling machine which is used to sculpt the new crown from ceramic porcelain. Along with custom-fitted dental crowns, the CEREC® system can also be used to create custom-fitted porcelain veneers, inlays, and onlays for patients of all ages.
Thanks to the detailed 3-D view of the tooth made possible by the CEREC® system, Dr. Jon Glaser is able to design an ideal crown that will precisely match your smile and make any necessary adjustments immediately during the placement process. Because the CEREC® system allows us to plan and place ceramic restorations during a single visit to our Boynton Beach, Palm Beach, and Boca Raton-area practice, your dental crowns, veneers, inlays, or onlays will immediately restore the appearance and function of your teeth, in addition to saving you the time and trouble of a second dental appointment. CEREC® restorations are durable as well as attractive, and with proper care your new crowns or other restorations will continue to brighten your smile for years to come.
Schedule an appointment at our Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Palm Beach-area practice to learn more about dental crowns in one visit, find out if you are a candidate for CEREC® treatment, and ask Dr. Jon Glaser any questions you might have about CEREC® restorations or any of the other advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments offered at Glaser Dental.
