Same Day Porcelain Cerec Crowns

Restore your smile without sacrificing time with CEREC restorations in Oshawa

We love helping our patients regain comfort, functionality, and an attractive appearance with well-planned restorative dental care. We also love showing them how they can complete treatment in a manner that suits their busy schedule!

CEREC is an innovative technology through which our experienced team can design and fabricate lifelike inlays, onlays, and crowns without the necessity for multiple visits. CEREC does away with messy impressions and the need for temporary restorations, too!

In a single visit, we can make an accurate diagnosis and prepare the damaged tooth for repair. When CEREC is incorporated into treatment, we create a digital impression using advanced imaging. The dimensions of the prepared tooth and the small details of its structure are transferred straight into the CEREC software in the in-house milling equipment. The entire process is typically completed in one to two hours and you leave with a beautiful and durable restoration in place. No discomfort. No mess. No waiting.

Inlays and onlays

When a large existing filling needs to be replaced, the CEREC inlay or onlay makes a wonderful solution. This treatment option allows us to remain conservative in our treatment of tooth damage by preserving natural structure as we rebuild strength where it is needed. The CEREC inlay or onlay may be ideal as an alternative to a crown which would require the tooth to be reduced. This type of restoration will beautifully restructure the tooth for optimal performance and beauty.

Crowns

Crowns are sometimes called caps due to their appearance as a "hollow" tooth. This type of restoration is necessary in cases in which a tooth has sustained damage to such an extent that it has become vulnerable to fracture or break. Some of the conditions for which a crown may be ideal include a broken tooth, severe wear that has changed the overall structure of a tooth, root canal therapy, and even some cosmetic concerns.

Speed is just one benefit of CEREC restorations

Although one of the primary reasons for seeking CEREC treatment is expedited care, there are numerous other benefits from this process. CEREC inlays, onlays, and crowns are carved from a block of solid porcelain rather than a block of "layered" porcelain like restorations from most dental labs. This means the quality of the final product remains in-line with our standard of excellence. Because porcelain is the material of choice, restorations are very lifelike; so much so that most people, even patients themselves, cannot tell the difference. Finally, the absence of metal makes CEREC restorations an optimal choice for patients seeking the most biocompatible materials for restoring teeth.
