CEREC Same-Day Crowns Restore Damaged Teeth On Cambridge Street

CEREC CAD/CAM technology enables the design, fabrication, and placement of custom ceramic crowns in a single dental appointment. By using a high-resolution intraoral camera and an on-site milling unit, the dentist eliminates the need for messy impressions and temporary crowns. Patients in Burlington can restore a cracked or decayed tooth to full function in approximately two hours.

For many patients, the most inconvenient part of a crown procedure is the two-week wait while a dental lab fabricates the restoration. Advanced Dental Care solves this by performing the entire process in the office. After the damaged portion of the tooth is removed, Dr. McGonigle uses a digital scanner to create a precise 3D model of the area. This digital “impression” is far more accurate than traditional putty and much more comfortable for the patient.

The digital model is sent to our on-site milling machine, which carves a high-strength ceramic block into a crown that perfectly matches the patient’s bite and tooth color. These ceramic materials are biocompatible and share the same physical characteristics as natural enamel, meaning they expand and contract at the same rate when exposed to heat and cold. This reduces the risk of future tooth fractures.

Because the crown is bonded immediately, the sensitive underlying tooth structure is never exposed to the bacteria and temperature fluctuations that often cause pain during the “temporary crown” phase.

Advanced Dental Care provides same-day restorations to respect your time without compromising on clinical quality. We ensure your smile is restored to peak health with maximum efficiency.
