What is a CEREC Dental Crown?
A CEREC dental crown is a permanent crown that can be made during your first restorative visit within hours, as opposed to weeks like traditional dental crowns. With this advanced digital technology, CEREC dental crowns are completely metal-free and no longer need a metal substructure, so patients will not have to worry about possible metal allergies or showing a metal edge on their crowns. The CEREC crown uses a bio-compatible material that is created from a ceramic block in our office during your scheduled appointment time.

Advantages of CEREC Dental Crowns designed by Dr. Michelle Metcalf.
With this newer technique, Michelle Metcalf, DMD has the ability to custom create and fit your CEREC dental crown in just one office visit. Traditionally, patients were required to wear a temporary dental crown for about two weeks during the creation of the permanent crown, which could fall off or cause problems. This advanced technology eliminates the inconvenience of a temporary crown and the need for a second office visit. CEREC crowns are created from a tooth-colored ceramic material that allows you to eat without having to worry about the tooth cracking. CEREC crowns are metal-free, and there will be no dark lines you sometimes see with porcelain fused to metal crowns (PFM). CEREC crowns by our dentist and team can provide you with the “look of a lifetime” and a natural feel. That is a winning combination.
