CEREC Dental Crowns: What Makes Them Unique?
Dental crown treatment is a fairly routine procedure performed by most dentists today. CEREC technology, however, takes this treatment one step further by offering same-day crown replacement for damaged or compromised teeth. In this post, Dr. Cook and Dr. Bingham from Northwest Dental Center in Boise, Idaho, explain more about CEREC crown treatment.
What is a CEREC crown?
Crowns are dental restorations used to restore weak, worn, or damaged teeth. There are basically two types of crowns: traditional crowns and CEREC crowns. Both are effective in protecting and restoring compromised teeth. Traditional crowns, however, can take up to two weeks to complete, whereas CEREC crowns can be milled and placed in one dental visit, restoring your smile instantly.
How do CEREC crowns work?
Drs. Cook & Bingham make use of CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology to create CEREC crowns on the same day of your initial dental visit. We’ll take digital impressions of your tooth to get exact measurements for your crown. Then, we’ll design and mill your crown while you wait comfortably in our dental chair. When your crown is ready, we’ll place it over your tooth, make any necessary adjustments, and permanently cement it in place. Your tooth will look, feel, and function like new.

What makes CEREC crowns unique?
CEREC CAD/CAM technology enables our team to create CEREC restorations with greater speed, accuracy, and precision. As a result, you get quicker tooth repairs to expedite your recovery from a dental injury. CEREC same-day crowns eliminate the delay in repairing damaged teeth as your crown can be designed, milled, and placed in one dental visit. Your Boise, Idaho, dentist can instantly restore your smile’s function and esthetics with a CEREC crown, saving you the expense of getting a temporary crown and the cost of multiple dental appointments.
CEREC crowns are created with the utmost accuracy for a comfortable, precise fit. They’re milled from a solid block of high-grade porcelain material to give you a restoration that’s strong, attractive, and enduring. Porcelain crowns are known for their stunning, natural-looking appearance. With good oral care, your crown can easily last 15 or more years.
