Single Appointment Crowns

• First the damaged or chipped tooth is prepared for restoration by removing any decay, damaged tooth structure, and defective restorations.
• Digital images are taken of the prepared tooth, as well as the surrounding teeth and your bite, using a special high-resolution intraoral camera.
• After the images are collected, the CEREC computer uses them to create virtual 3D models of your mouth.
• An Odeon Dental dentist then designs the new porcelain crown on the CEREC computer to exactly fit your tooth with an accurate bite.
• Once the crown design is complete, a solid block of porcelain is placed into the CEREC milling machine and in a short time a permanent crown is ready to be permanently placed for you, all in as little as one appointment.

Some patients have compared this process to a 3D printer but the CEREC process is far more precise. It still amazes us every time we see a solid block of porcelain turn into a custom-fitted crown, inlay, or onlay for a patient in just minutes!
