In most dental offices, the process for placing dental crown happens over the course of multiple appointments. At the first appointment, the tooth is prepared and impressions are taken. Then, you wear a temporary crown while a dental laboratory creates your permanent restoration. The crown gets adjusted and installed when you return to your dentist’s office for a second appointment. But that process is no longer the only path to a dental crown. More and more dentists are choosing to invest in CEREC technology. This remarkable tool enables dentists to design and place permanent dental restorations in a single appointment. This post discusses some of the biggest advantages of CEREC crowns.

This article discusses why that might happen and what you can do to remedy the problem.
