Boston, MA dentist offers quality CEREC dental crowns

Obtaining a traditional dental crown at most dental practices require patients to come into the office more than once. This makes it inconvenient to have restorations such as this placed in a conventional facility. Fortunately, Dr. Anjum A. Ansari offers an alternative for patients, such as same-day dental crowns with CEREC technology. CEREC dental crowns are just as strong and durable as those made in a dental laboratory, ensuring the best protection for the smile. Patients in Boston, MA are encouraged to ask their dentist about CEREC restorations to repair their smiles.

What is CEREC?

CEREC is a specialized device and technology used to create same-day dental restorations. It allows the dentist to prepare, create, and place a dental crown during the same appointment. The tooth that needs the crown is prepared with the removal of surrounding tooth enamel. Then, digital impressions are completed. They are sent through the CEREC software to create a 3D mold that is used in milling a dental crown out of a block of porcelain right in the dental office! Patients can have the entire process completed in less than an hour and avoid future appointments and the placement of temporary restorations as they wait.

What can CEREC be used for?

Dentists can use CEREC to create:

• Dental crowns
• Dental bridges
• Porcelain veneers
• Inlays and onlays

Are CEREC dental crowns long-lasting?

Whether your dental restoration was made by a ceramist in a laboratory or in the dental office with CEREC, with proper care, it will last! Our professionals will educate patients on how to take care of their dental restorations to help extend their longevity and avoid damage or loss. Most patients will enjoy a dental crown for a decade or longer if they protect it and take great care in preserving it.
