CEREC Same Day Crowns in Montgomery
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the
entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens
tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, ceramic (tooth colored)
crowns are now the most common cosmetic treatment for crowns to restore your tooth. Ceramic crowns provide you with both
beauty and function. We are proud to offer our patients the ultimate in digital dentistry with our CEREC
restorations. With CEREC (CEramic REConstruction), we are able to provide our patients with
inlays, onlays, crowns and veneers in only ONE appointment. This CAD/CAM system has been on the market
for a good 30 years now and over 250 scientific studies have confirmed the clinical safety of tried and

Crowns are highly durable and will last many
years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. The cosmetic treatment option, Ceramic crowns

What does getting a crown
involve?
Our crown procedure
usually requires one appointment. While the tooth is numb, all decay will be removed. The tooth will be
rebuilt and shaped in preparation for the digital scan. Typically, there is no need for an
impression/mold or temporary crown on the tooth. The tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be
carefully placed to ensure the aesthetics, fit, and bite are precise. You will be given care
instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown.
