What Is CEREC and How Is It Used?

In this video, Dr. Chance McLemore introduces CEREC technology, which allows us to create and place custom crowns and restorations in a single visit. To experience the convenience and efficiency of same-day dental restorations, schedule a consultation at Riviera Dental Care today.

We are excited to introduce CEREC technology to our practice, allowing us to offer same-day crowns and restorations.

CEREC is an in-office milling system that eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. Traditionally, getting a crown required:

• Wearing a temporary crown, which could be sensitive or come loose
• Waiting for a dental lab to fabricate the permanent crown
• Returning for a second appointment to have the final crown placed

With CEREC, we can design, create, and place your crown in a single visit. The system takes a solid block of material, mills a custom crown, and then solidifies it in a specialized oven, ensuring strength and durability for long-lasting function.

Beyond crowns, CEREC can also create veneers, bridges, and multiple restorations in the same visit, meaning:

• No second appointment
  
• No additional numbing
• Less time off work

This technology allows for a faster, more efficient, and more comfortable experience while still providing strong, high-quality restorations.
