CEREC®

Dr. Johnson is your local CEREC® dentist for single-visit tooth restorations.

The CEREC® Process

First, Dr. Johnson will discuss each detail of CEREC® process during an initial consultation. Once the procedure has begins, Dr. Johnson will take a specialized photo of the tooth in need of restoration. The photo is taken with a specialized camera, which sends the photo into the CEREC® computer. Here, the computer uses the photo as a "map" for your new crown. Once the digital rendering is complete, CEREC® will mill the new crown from a piece of ceramic, using a diamond bur and disk-work. Less than an hour later, your new crown will be completely finished and ready for placement! Dr. Johnson will use a special adhesive to bond the ceramic crown to your tooth.

What is CEREC®?

CEREC® is a state-of-the-art dental technology that eliminates the need of an off-site dental lab for the creation of a crown. If fact, with CEREC® you can have your new crown measured, milled, and placed, all during the same dental visit! Your smile will look beautiful in the end, and CEREC® will make crowns that keep your teeth looking natural and feeling strong. We use high-grade ceramic with our crowns that are compatible with the natural tissue already inside of your mouth. Your smile will feel great, and look even better!

What are the benefits of CEREC?

We know how it is, between work, family time, and extracurricular activities, where does one find the time for multiple trips to the dentist for the some procedure? That's where CEREC comes in! The standard procedure for a crown used to involve taking an uncomfortable mold of your mouth and having to wait a week or two while an off-site dental lab creates your new crown. After your initial consultation, with CEREC Dr. Johnson can measure, mill, and place your new dental crown all in the same visit! Hows that for convenience? Call us today for a consultation!


My previous experiences with crowns were long an tedious: multiple visits, waiting on the lab, and dealing with temporary dental work. Dr. Johnson and his team have transformed my thinking with CEREC®. I came in, and in short appointment my crown was finished and beautiful!
