CEREC Crowns Specialist

What are CEREC® crowns?

CEREC crowns are dental restorations manufactured using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology. In the past, if you chipped, cracked, or damaged a tooth your dentist might recommend a crown. 

However, traditional crowns required a series of appointments and a time-consuming molding and manufacturing process. CEREC crowns provide a much better fit and are also easier to make. In fact, the entire process takes only two hours.

During a CEREC procedure, your Varinos Dental Associates of Newburyport provider takes digital impressions of your teeth and makes your crown right in the office using a cutting-edge milling machine. By the time your appointment is over you leave the office with a fully restored tooth.

What are the benefits of CEREC crowns?

• CEREC crowns provide a wide array of benefits, including:
• No unpleasant impression material
• No follow-up appointments
• No bothersome temporary prosthesis
• Long-term stability

CEREC crowns mimic the color, strength, and light-reflecting properties of your natural tooth enamel. What’s more, CEREC treatment is gentle on your teeth, protects your tooth from wear-and-tear damage, and presents a metal-free restoration option to people with allergies.

What’s involved in getting a CEREC crown?

The team at Varinos Dental Associates of Newburyport manufactures and applies CEREC crowns in their comfortable, state-of-the-art offices.

First, your dentist consults with you about the CEREC process. Next, your dentist uses a specially designed camera to take digital images of your tooth that’s being treated. 

After taking photos, your dentist uploads them into the CEREC computer system and develops a 3D model of your restored tooth.

Your dentist uploads your 3D model into the CEREC milling machine, which manufactures your tooth on-site. 

After the milling machine completes your prosthesis, your dentist administers a local anesthetic and bonds your permanent CEREC crown in place. Usually, the entire process takes no more than two hours.

Is a CEREC crown right for me?

To determine if a CEREC crown is right for you, make an appointment at Varinos Dental Associates of Newburyport. 

At your initial consultation, your dentist does an oral exam, reviews your medical history, takes a series of digital X-rays, and asks you about your goals for treatment. 

After taking all of this information into account, your dentist develops a treatment plan that aligns with your individual needs.
