When you need a dental crown, you shouldn’t have to wait weeks to enjoy your restored smile. At Legacy Dental of PA, we’ve invested in advanced CEREC technology and an in-house milling lab that lets us design and craft crowns right here in our office. This innovation allows us to cut down on wait times, reduce your time in a temporary crown, and ensure the best possible fit and aesthetics — all under our own roof.
What Is CEREC Technology?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a cutting-edge system that combines digital imaging, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to create dental restorations with exceptional accuracy.
With CEREC, our team can take precise digital impressions of your teeth — no more messy molds — and then design your crown digitally before milling it on-site using durable, tooth-colored ceramic material.
The Power of an In-House Milling Lab
Most dental practices rely on outside labs, meaning your crown must be shipped out, fabricated, and returned before placement. At Legacy Dental of PA, our on-site milling lab allows us to:
- Accelerate Turnaround Times: Because your restoration is created in our own facility, we can deliver it faster than traditional lab processes.
- Maintain Complete Quality Control: Every step, from design to final fit, is overseen by our own dental team to ensure superior precision, shade matching, and durability.
- Reduce Time in Temporary Crowns: You’ll spend less time wearing a temporary crown that may loosen, break, or cause sensitivity.
- Personalize the Aesthetics: We can fine-tune the shape and color of your crown to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Why Faster Doesn’t Mean Rushed
Our CEREC system ensures that every restoration receives meticulous attention and artistry. You’ll enjoy a quicker turnaround without compromising on the comfort or quality you deserve.
What to Expect from the CEREC Crown Process
- Digital Impressions: We capture a detailed 3D scan of your tooth using our advanced imaging system.
- Design: Our team digitally designs your crown with the ideal fit, shape, and shade for your smile.
- Milling: Using our in-house milling unit, we craft your restoration from a solid block of ceramic.
- Placement: Once complete, we bond the crown to your tooth for a natural, durable finish.
This streamlined process eliminates the need for off-site coordination and lets us focus entirely on your comfort and results.
