What are the Advantages of CEREC Crowns?
Dental crown treatment today is easier than ever with CEREC technology. CEREC crowns can be designed, milled, and placed in one day to avoid delays in your treatment. Whether you’re repairing, restoring, or replacing a compromised tooth, you benefit from the best that CEREC crowns near me have to offer at Brilliant Smiles Dentistry in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Here are some questions we’re often asked about CEREC dental technology:
How do CEREC crowns differ from traditional crowns?
Traditional crowns can be made of ceramic, porcelain, metal, or a combination of these materials. To get accurate measurements for your crown, a mold of your tooth is made using a putty-like material. This mold is sent to an off-site lab where crowns are fabricated. The process takes at least two dental visits and several weeks to complete. Temporary crowns are placed on your teeth during the interim period.
CEREC crowns are designed, created, and placed on your teeth in one day at our dental office. They’re made of high-grade ceramic or porcelain material from digital impressions taken of your teeth for a precise fit. Your crown will look and function like a real tooth and blend in naturally with your smile. You won’t need a temporary crown or follow-up visits to complete your treatment.
What’s the process for getting a CEREC crown?
In place of messy putty impression trays, a digital scanner will be used to take instant, precise images of your teeth. Using these images, Dr. Terry Peterson or Dr. Stephanie Troglin will create a crown that’s functional, well-fitting, and aesthetically pleasing. The entire process of designing, milling, and placing your crown is completed in a matter of hours, rather than weeks. The efficiency of CEREC crown treatment saves you the time and expense of multiple dental visits.
When might a CEREC crown be needed?
Like traditional crowns, CEREC crowns serve multiple purposes in dentistry, which include:
- Repairing worn or damaged teeth.
- Strengthening weak teeth.
- Reinforcing a root canal tooth.
- Protecting teeth with large fillings.
- Restoring missing teeth with single implants.
- Supporting a dental bridge.

What are the benefits of getting a CEREC crown?
