Innovative Dental Care with CEREC Technology
At Fredericksburg Smile Center, we understand the value of your time. That’s why we’ve invested in CEREC technology, which streamlines the traditional process of receiving a dental crown. Gone are the days of multiple appointments for a single crown. With CEREC, we can measure, craft, and fit high-quality ceramic crowns all during a single appointment, without compromising on the quality of care.
What is CEREC?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) uses advanced CAD/CAM technology to create precisely designed, color-matched, and highly durable ceramic crowns right in our office.
Benefits of CEREC Same Day Crowns
Time Efficiency: Your crowns are made and placed in just one visit, which means less time in the dental chair.
High Quality: Made from high-grade ceramic, CEREC crowns are durable and aesthetically pleasing.
Perfect Fit: Digital impressions taken with CEREC are highly accurate, ensuring crowns that fit perfectly and comfortably.
No Temporaries: You won’t need to wear a temporary crown, which eliminates any potential discomfort associated with temporaries.
