CEREC Crowns Restore Smiles Quickly

Now you can get a dental crown in Creve Coeur, MO, in just one visit.

If you’ve ever had to get a dental crown before, or if you know someone who has, then you know that it often takes several trips to the dentist to complete the restoration. This can be quite time-consuming and inconvenient for many of our patients who have busy schedules. This is why our Creve Coeur, MO, dentist Dr. Mark Hesker is pleased to announce that now you can get CEREC dental crowns right here in his office in just one visit.

What is CEREC?

CEREC, which stands for chairside economical restoration esthetic ceramics, is an in-office dental system which allows our Creve Coeur, MO, general dentist to design, fabricate, and even place your dental crown all in one appointment. No more waiting around for a permanent crown or wearing a flimsy temporary crown—CEREC technology makes it easy to get the restoration you need as quickly as possible!

What is the Process Like?

The beauty of CEREC lies in CAD/CAM technology. The first thing we will need to do is take impressions of your teeth. When most people think about getting impressions they imagine that awkward putty-like material being applied to their teeth where it is left to harden. It was a process that wasn’t always the most pleasant, but now that’s changed. CEREC doesn’t use these messy impressions, instead, our dentist can take even more precise measurements of your teeth with a simple digital camera.

Once these images are taken, they are uploaded to our computer, where we will get to work creating a crown that will fit perfectly over the damaged tooth. The CAD software will help us design your crown. Once this phase is complete, we will choose a porcelain block that most closely matches the shade of your tooth. The porcelain block will then be placed into the in-office milling station.

The milling station will then be fed the exact measurements from the CAD software, allowing it to chisel out a perfect restoration from the block of porcelain. Once the crown has been fabricated, it’s time to check the fit before cementing it permanently into place. That’s all there is to it. You’ll leave our office with a brand new, fully restored smile!
