State-of-the-art technology Same Day Dental Crowns with Cerec 3D

Traditionally, restorations such as tooth crowns are created in an off-site lab. As a result patients must wear a temporary crown and return for a final fitting when the permanent crown has been completed.

Our office is equipped with Cerec, a system which uses Computer Aided Design / Computer Aided Manufacture technology to create beautiful, strong, perfectly fitted restorations.

This technology allows us to custom create Veneers, Crowns, Inlays and Onlays right in our office. This reduces your treatment time for these procedures to just one visit!

How does CEREC 3D Work?

To begin, the Dr. Harr prepares the damaged tooth, then paints a thin layer of reflective powder directly on the tooth's surface. Using a special camera, he then takes a picture of the tooth.

There is no need to take a messy, uncomfortable impression to send off to a lab. Dr. Harr has a full 3D view of the restoration as he creates it, viewing, manipulating and verifying all aspects of the restoration design for accuracy and assurance of an ideal fit.

After 3D Imaging, the material block is placed in the milling chamber. Minutes later, milling is complete and the restoration is ready to place.
