How Are CEREC Dental Crowns Used?
We all want our smiles to last a lifetime. If an unforeseen accident results in a cracked or broken tooth, a CEREC crown can restore the beauty of your smile in no time. At Avanti Dentistry, we offer CEREC crowns near me to our patients in Tysons, Virginia and nearby communities.
These FAQs compiled by Dr. Farshad Farhoumand and associates explain more about CEREC crown treatment:
What is a CEREC same-day crown?
Crowns are tooth-like caps used to cover damaged teeth to protect them from infection, decay or further breakage. Traditional crowns are custom-made in a lab, a process that can take up to two weeks. We can create CEREC crowns in one visit to our dental office. There’s no delay in repairing your damaged tooth and restoring your smile. We’ll restore your teeth in a matter of hours as opposed to several weeks.
How do CEREC crowns work?
Your Tysons, VA dental team uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create your crown in one dental visit. This technology allows us to design, mill and place your crown in one day to avoid delays in your treatment. CEREC crowns are made from solid blocks of ceramic material specifically designed for this purpose. They can be used to repair damaged teeth, protect weak, fragile or severely decayed teeth, fortify a tooth that’s had root canal treatment or replace a missing tooth in conjunction with implant treatment.

Is the process painful?
No, it’s not! Getting a crown requires that we modify the structure of your damaged tooth to ensure the crown fits snugly and comfortably over your tooth. This part of your treatment is done under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable and pain-free. Once your crown is ready, we’ll cement it in place permanently. Sedation is also an option to help you relax for this treatment.
How long can a CEREC crown shine with durability?
With the right care, CEREC crowns can stick around just as long as traditional crowns—often lasting an impressive 15 years! That’s a decade and a half of smiles, confidence, and durability all wrapped into one fantastic dental solution! You can extend their lifespan by brushing and flossing daily, seeing your dentist regularly for dental cleanings, and avoiding hard foods, chewing on ice and using your teeth as tools.
What are the advantages of CEREC same-day crowns?
Most people appreciate the speed and convenience of having their smile restored in one day. There’s no need for a temporary crown while waiting for your permanent crown to be fabricated. There’s also no need for a follow-up appointment to place your crown. Due to the use of advanced technology, CEREC crowns are created with greater accuracy and precision. Your ceramic crown will have a natural, tooth-like appearance, matching your existing teeth perfectly for aesthetic appeal.
