CEREC Crowns

A tooth that sustains serious trauma or has deep decay may need more than a filling. In this case, we will suggest a porcelain crown, which will fit snugly over the damaged area. Porcelain crowns reinforce the remaining tooth structure, improve stability, and preserve your smile’s beauty.

Fitting and placement of a crown used to require two appointments. Our dentists now produce CEREC crowns. Thanks to CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic, patients can actually receive their custom restorations while they wait. Not only are CEREC crowns more attractive than their metal counterparts, but they also allow for more conservative therapy, which preserves more healthy tooth structure.

To create your CEREC crown, the dentist will cover the tooth with a non-toxic powder and take a digital picture. Using the 3-D CEREC technology, the dentist will design the restoration. The detailed information is sent to the milling unit, which manufactures your porcelain crown. We will immediately polish and place the new crown.

Enjoy optimal oral health and a fantastic smile. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Montz or Dr. Varesic, please call our dental office today. Located in Pearland, we welcome patients from Friendswood, South Houston, Webster, and the surrounding areas.
