Allergic reactions to ceramic are rare, making CEREC safer than some conventional crown options. Long lastingĬEREC restorations are made from a strong ceramic, which is resistant to wear, damage and stains and should last for many years when you take good care of your oral health. With CEREC, your finished crown or bridge can be ready within the hour, so there's no need for temporary crowns as a stopgap. This is weaker and less natural-looking than the finished restoration and more easily damaged.
No temporary crownsīecause it takes time for a traditional crown to be made after a tooth is prepared, dentists fit a temporary prosthetic tooth that helps to protect it during the wait. With CEREC, dentists take 3D digital impressions for crowns and other restorations that work in the same way, without the discomfort. This material needs to be bitten into for a few minutes, which some people find uncomfortable. No uncomfortable mouldsįor a traditional crown or bridge, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth that's used to design your restorations. This makes the procedure less invasive and lowers the risk of complications such as tooth sensitivity that can happen if too much enamel is removed.Īs less of the tooth structure needs to be present, this also means that CEREC crowns could be an option even if you're not eligible for a standard crown. Preserves more of the toothĬEREC's advanced bonding method requires less of the tooth's structure to be removed before a restoration can be fitted. Most CEREC treatments only require a single visit, avoiding the time and costs involved in multiple sessions. Getting a traditional crown involves multiple visits to the dentist that can take a week or longer, as the crown needs to be manufactured at an external dental laboratory.
