Busy families in our community require dental solutions that respect their time without sacrificing quality. Our on-site CEREC 3D milling unit allows us to design and create permanent porcelain crowns during a single appointment. This innovation eliminates the need for temporary restorations and follow-up visits.

Time is a precious resource for everyone living along the US-58 corridor. Most traditional crown procedures require a two-week waiting period while a laboratory fabricates the tooth. We utilize CAD/CAM technology, which stands for computer-aided design and manufacturing, to build your crown in minutes.

Watching a new tooth emerge from a solid block of porcelain is a testament to how far dental science has progressed.

Enhancing Tensile Strength and Fracture Resistance

The materials used in our CEREC system are selected for their incredible durability. We ensure each restoration provides maximum tensile strength and fracture resistance to withstand the pressures of a normal bite. This high-science approach means your new crown will function just like a natural tooth. Because we control the entire process in-house, we can ensure the fit is perfect before you leave.

Common Questions About CEREC

Is a same-day crown as strong as one made in a lab? The porcelain blocks we use are extremely dense and engineered for longevity. These restorations are designed to last for many years with proper home care and regular professional checkups.

Does the process hurt more than a traditional procedure? We often use air abrasion for various treatments to minimize the need for traditional drills. The CEREC process itself is non-invasive and focuses on providing a comfortable, efficient experience for every patient.
