At Chegini Family Dentistry, we are proud to offer CEREC same-day restorations, allowing our patients to receive high-quality, permanent crowns in just one visit. This advanced technology eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments, providing a faster and more convenient solution for restoring your smile.
What Is CEREC?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a state-of-the-art fabricating machine that allows us to design and create crowns in-house. Unlike traditional methods that require weeks of waiting for a dental lab to create your restoration, CEREC enables us to provide a permanent crown in a single visit.
Benefits of CEREC Crowns
- Same-Day Restoration: Patients leave with a permanent crown, eliminating the need for temporaries.
- Highly Accurate Scanning: CEREC uses an advanced digital scanner that is more precise than traditional impressions, ensuring a perfect fit.
- No Messy Impressions: The digital scanning process is comfortable and eliminates the need for putty-like impression materials.
- Durable and Aesthetic: CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic, providing a natural look and long-lasting durability.
- Minimally Invasive: Preserves more of the healthy tooth structure compared to traditional crown preparation.
The CEREC Process
- Tooth Preparation: Dr. Chegini will reshape your tooth to ensure a proper fit for the crown.
- Digital Scanning: A precise digital camera captures a 3D image of the prepared tooth.
- Crown Design: Using advanced software, Dr. Chegini custom designs your restoration to match the rest of your natural teeth.
- Milling and Fabrication: The CEREC milling unit creates the crown from a solid ceramic block in about 30 minutes. While you wait, you can relax in our comfortable massage chairs and enjoy a spa-like experience. We also provide access to TV and movies, making your visit as enjoyable as possible.
- Placement and Bonding: Once the crown is ready, it is bonded securely to the tooth, restoring strength and function instantly.
Caring for Your CEREC Crown
CEREC restorations require the same care as natural teeth. To maintain their longevity, be sure to brush twice a day and floss daily, avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens, and schedule regular dental check-ups at our Redding dental office to monitor your restoration.
