“CEREC Single Visit Dentistry”
Modern Dental Crown Technology in Derry, NH
Do you have any teeth that are cracked, damaged, or chipped and are causing you to chew differently or look unsightly? You might even have noticed that you are speaking differently because you have issues with certain teeth. There are many ways to correct these issues, but one that is fabulous is CEREC same-day porcelain crowns. CEREC dental crowns utilize CAD/CAM technology to create high quality porcelain crowns quicky and efficiently.
What Are CEREC Same-Day Porcelain Crowns?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEramic REConstruction. What that means is, simply, that you can get a tooth crown in one dental visit to our Derry, NH, dentist office! It’s a marvelous dental technology that can save you time and give you a healthy, beautiful smile faster than ever before!
CEREC vs. Traditional Dental Crowns
Traditionally, getting a dental crown meant several visits to our office: one visit to make the mold of your teeth, then the dentist would send the information to the lab, which would fabricate the dental crown. Once the dental crowns were ready to go, you would come in for another visit. Finally, your cosmetic dentist would place the dental crown. Isn’t that the most time-consuming process ever? But what if it could be less?
CEREC same-day porcelain crowns only take one office visit! The entire process is different from traditional dental crowns. Here, our dentist uses special CEREC same day porcelain crowns dental technology that gives him the information to create a dental crown right in the office. That information is plugged into the CEREC same day porcelain crowns machine, which sculpts the dental crown while you wait. The dental crown process is precise, efficient, and proven to be effective.
Once our dentist is finished sculpting the dental crown, he prepares your tooth to place the dental crown.
The dental crowns are as sturdy, long-lasting, durable and attractive as regular porcelain crowns — except they take far less time! You can have the restoration of your tooth done quickly, giving you your smile back and more time to return to your daily routine.

What Are the Benefits of CEREC?
- Convenience — Your time is important. That’s why our patients love the convenience of CEREC crowns. CEREC technology allows crowns to be designed, milled, and placed all in one office visit.
- No Temporary Crowns — Traditional dental crowns require patients to wear a generic temporary crown for weeks while waiting for the lab to create their real, custom crown.
- Preserves More of Your Natural Tooth — Because CEREC technology allows our dentists a greater degree of precision, we remove less of your natural tooth to make room for the CEREC crown.
- Digital Impressions — Nobody likes having to deal with the discomfort and gag reflex that goes along with using putty to create dental impressions. The CEREC system utilizes digital impressions to make the whole experience more comfortable.
- Durability — CEREC crowns are milled from the same dental-grade porcelain used by dental labs. Their quality, strength, and durability are equal to those made in a dental lab.
- Sneak Preview of Your Crowns — Because your crown is designed in-office you can be involved in the process by seeing what your crown will look like in advance.
