Dental crowns have many uses—to restore your teeth after dental implant placement, after a root canal procedure or when a tooth has been damaged beyond repair. Whatever you need them for, crowns will enable you to eat, speak, and smile again without embarrassment or physical discomfort. When you get your dental crowns at Dental Partners of Brookline, you get significant added advantages. With our state-of-the-art CEREC system, we can fabricate, design and place your new crowns in a single appointment. The convenience of same-day dentistry is complemented by our award-winning multispecialty team, which can expertly fit your CEREC crowns for maximum comfort and esthetics. You’ll feel and look fantastic!
CEREC, short for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a revolutionary cosmetic dentistry protocol that enables us to deliver durable, attractive crowns in a fraction of the time of traditional crowns without sacrificing quality. In the past, and still today in some practices, it was common for you to wait weeks to receive new crowns. You’d go in for an appointment, your dentist would take impressions of your teeth and send them out to a lab to have your crowns fabricated, and you’d return later to have them placed. Our dental crown lab isn’t located in another state, it’s right here in our Brookline, MA office. We’ve invested in this technology to add convenience to quality care.
We begin work on your same-day crowns by scanning your teeth with our intraoral camera, which renders a detailed 3D digital image. We transfer this imagery into CEREC’s design program, where we can create a customized blueprint for your new crown or crowns. This information is then fed into CEREC’s milling machine, which uses the blueprint to fabricate your restorations. You can even watch as CEREC creates your new crowns. Our extensively skilled and experienced team will then begin placing them. Depending on the number of crowns you need, you may be able to leave our office with strong, beautiful, healthy teeth in about one hour!
