CEREC Crowns: Convenient and Comfortable Porcelain Restorations

Most patients are awed by their experience having a CEREC restoration fabricated and placed. While the technology is amazing to watch, they really appreciate fewer appointments, fewer shots, less drilling, and especially NO impressions and NO temporaries.

David Letterman couldn’t have stated it better:

Because there is less drilling and the tooth is repaired immediately with no leaky temporary, CEREC restorations are the least damaging and most comfortable restorations available today. We have noticed a 75 percent reduction in the need for root canals after treatment versus full-coverage crowns. A study by Dr. Gordon Christiansen, a leading dental researcher and long-time editorialist for the Journal of the American Dental Association, compared 15 restorative materials for post-treatment sensitivity and rated CEREC the most comfortable.
