CEREC One-Visit Crowns

Cracked, broken, and decayed teeth can be repaired and restored to their original glory with a dental crown. The crown covers all surfaces of the tooth and protects it from further damage. Traditional crowns take two visits, because the design is sent to a dental lab where the crown is fabricated. With CEREC, revolutionary digital and milling technology, Dr. Putt can design an all-ceramic crown in a single visit, right in our Wayland dental office.

With CEREC, there’s no messy impressions, no temporary crown, no waiting for the lab to send the crown, and no second appointment. Dr. Putt simply takes a digital scan of your prepared tooth, designs the crown with 3D computer software, and then mills the crown right in our office. The entire takes about an hour, and CEREC produces extremely high quality results.

In just one visit, Dr. Putt can design beautiful, metal-free crowns, as well as inlays and onlays, which are partial crowns used to restore teeth that need more coverage than a filling but less than a full crown. Best of all, CEREC allows us to preserve more of your natural tooth structure, because Dr. Putt can precisely fit the restoration according to the digital scan’s readings.
