How CEREC Technology Works

CEREC technology is a particular suite of software that is used in our dental office that makes it possible for Dr. Carlson and his team to design, fabricate, and place porcelain dental crowns in only one visit. Unlike traditional dental crowns that require at least dental visits, CEREC provides a faster, more comfortable approach to restorative dentistry.

After thoroughly cleaning and removing decayed portions of your tooth, our team captures digital impressions of your weakened tooth using a handheld device. Once the impression is received, we will make any necessary adjustments on the screen before sending it off to the in-house milling unit. This unique piece of equipment will craft your customized dental crown out of a piece of 100% dental porcelain while you wait. Once it is ready, we will bond it into place over your tooth. Within 1-2 hours, you will have a repaired, fully restored smile that looks and feels completely natural.

Are CEREC Crowns High-Quality?

Yes! Apart from the state-of-the-art dental technology and equipment used as part of the CEREC system, the crowns that are created in the milling unit are durable and made of high-grade porcelain. Offering a natural appearance once put into place, they are capable of withstanding the daily wear and tear that comes with speaking and eating. Also, CEREC crowns can last a decade or longer with proper care, so it’s imperative that you remain committed to a good oral hygiene routine as well as protecting your smile if you want to extend the lifespan of your restoration.

  • Less time waiting for your customized crown because you’ll receive it the same day of your appointment
  • You won’t need to wear a temporary crown, which can pose problems of its own during the interim between your first and second appointments
  • Your restoration will be durable and long-lasting as long as you take proper care of it
  • You don’t need to worry about cold, messy dental impressions when a handheld device that captures digital impressions is what we provide

CEREC Crown FAQs

Magnifying glass over frequently asked questions

If you need a dental crown, you can benefit from the best dentistry has to offer with CEREC in Jacksonville. Although CEREC technology provides exceptional benefits, it’s normal to have some concerns, but there isn’t any reason to worry. We will explain everything during your consultation. In the meantime, here are the answers to a few of the most frequently asked questions.

Does the process really take one day?

Yes, the rumor is true. You can get a high-quality restoration in one day. Your dentist in Jacksonville will use advanced technology to create a 3D image of your tooth, so you won’t have to wait for the traditional impression material to set. They will also use state-of-the-art software to craft your restoration. The information is sent to an in-office milling machine. You won’t have to wait for a dental lab because your crown will be ready in about an hour. You will walk out of your appointment with a high-quality, durable restoration.

How long do CEREC crowns last?

Although CEREC crowns are completely metal-free, they are just as durable as the traditional method. On average, your crown will last for 10 to 15 years before needing to be replaced; however, various factors affect the lifespan of your restoration, like its location. The back teeth undergo more wear and tear than the front, so they may not last as long. You can get the most out of your restoration by committing to your oral hygiene at home and visiting your dentist regularly. Your dentist will advise you to skip anything that may damage your crown, like eating hard/sticky foods or using your teeth to open packages. If you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, ask your dentist for a nightguard.

How much does CEREC cost?

There is not a flat fee for a CEREC crown because every situation differs. After creating a treatment plan, we will provide you with a personalized estimate and review your payment options. We strive to keep a healthy, beautiful smile affordable for everyone. You will know exactly what you will have to pay before committing to anything.

Can I use my dental insurance for CEREC?

Every insurance policy is unique, but most plans can be used to offset the amount you’ll have to pay out-of-pocket. Depending on your coverage, your benefits can cover up to 80% of the cost of certain steps of your treatment, like the consultation or any prep-work. A member of our team will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize your benefits.

How successful are CEREC crowns?

CEREC crowns have over a 95% success rate after 9 years, but it’s not uncommon for them to last for decades with the right maintenance, like keeping your mouth clean. Brushing, flossing, and using a daily mouthwash will reduce oral bacteria. Visit your dentist twice a year for a cleaning and checkup to reduce your risk of decay and infections that can cause your restoration to fail.
