CEREC offers a number of benefits for patients who need a dental crown. Some of the most significant advantages of this treatment include the following: • Save time: Because the entire treatment is completed start to finish in a single dental appointment, you will not have to plan for a follow-up trip to the dental office -- saving your valuable time and sick leave from work. • No need for a temporary crown: Eliminating the second appointment means you will not have to spend any time wearing a temporary crown, which may break or be uncomfortable. • A better fit: CEREC is integrated with digital scanning technology, which eliminates the need for bite-down impressions. Biting down on wet cement is uncomfortable for the patient and does not provide the most accurate results. • Lasting results: Research shows that dental crowns completed with CEREC last just as long and are as effective as traditional crowns.
