The Ultimate Guide to CEREC Tooth Crowns in Riverside, CA: 5 Top Questions Explained
CEREC tooth crowns are an innovative and highly effective solution when restoring a damaged or decayed tooth. At Parkside Dental in Riverside, California, we use state-of-the-art CEREC technology to create custom crowns in a single visit, allowing our patients to enjoy a quick, durable, and natural-looking result. If you’re considering a CEREC crown for tooth restoration, you likely have questions about the process, benefits, and more. This guide answers the top five questions to help you make an informed decision.
What is a CEREC Tooth Crown?
A CEREC crown is a custom-made dental crown created using CEREC technology (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics). This advanced technology allows us to design, fabricate, and place a crown in just one appointment. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple visits and a temporary crown, CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic that matches the color and texture of your natural teeth, offering both aesthetic appeal and durability.
How Long Does the CEREC Crown Procedure Take?
One of the major advantages of CEREC crowns is the time efficiency. Traditional crowns typically require multiple visits, but with CEREC, you can have your crown designed, milled, and placed in a single appointment that normally lasts 1 to 2 hours. During this visit, your dentist will take digital impressions of your tooth, design the crown on a computer, and then use a milling machine to create the crown in the office. The entire process is fast, convenient, and minimally invasive.
Are CEREC Crowns Durable?
Yes, CEREC crowns are incredibly durable. CEREC crowns are a long-lasting option for repairing broken teeth because the ceramic used in them is made to resist normal wear and tear. CEREC crowns are highly resistant to staining, which means they will maintain their appearance over time, even with regular exposure to food and drinks like coffee or red wine. With proper care, CEREC crowns can last 15 years or more, providing reliable and durable restoration.

How Do CEREC Crowns Compare to Traditional Crowns?
While traditional crowns are made in a dental lab and require multiple visits to complete, CEREC crowns offer a more convenient, quicker option. Some additional advantages of CEREC crowns include:
- No temporary crowns: Since the crown is made in one appointment, you won’t need to wear a temporary crown while waiting for the final one.
- Immediate results: You Walk in with a damaged or decayed tooth and leave with a fully restored tooth.
- More precise fit: Digital impressions ensure a more accurate fit than traditional molds, leading to better comfort and function.
Overall, CEREC crowns offer time-saving benefits, better precision, and a natural appearance compared to traditional crowns.
Is the CEREC Crown Procedure Painful?
The CEREC crown procedure is virtually painless. Before the procedure, your dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure you are comfortable. The digital scanning and milling of the crown are non-invasive, and most patients report minimal discomfort afterward. You may experience mild sensitivity in the treated area for a few days, but this is normal and should subside quickly.
