CEREC® Dental Crowns in Kerrville

CEREC® crowns do not take two or three dental implants to complete. CEREC® crowns are made in Dr. Carroll Butler’s office while you wait and require no messy impressions or uncomfortable temporaries. As a result, you don’t have to wait for weeks.

What are CEREC® Crowns?

CEREC® is a remarkable chairside procedure that Dr. Butler uses for dental crowns and dental implants. Strong and sturdy CEREC® is completed in a single dental visit. CEREC®, short for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, uses computer-aided design and computer aided manufacturing technology, also known as CAD/CAM.

Traditional Crowns versus CEREC® Dental Crowns

Traditional crowns can take two or three dental appointments and are not as comfortable as CEREC®. Not all dental offices in Kerrville provide CEREC®. In fact, Dr. Carroll Butler is one of a handful who is a preferred CEREC® provider. Unlike traditional crowns, CEREC® dental crowns look and feel like natural teeth and are just as strong, if not stronger that conventional crowns.

The CEREC® Process

Because the entire CEREC® process takes about two hours to complete you are saving time and money. After Dr. Butler and his team take digital impressions of your smile, the images are sent to a computer where the CEREC® software does its magic.

When the crown is ready, it is sent to the in-house milling machine for manufacture. Once complete, the CEREC® team will paint and glaze the crown to match your natural teeth. After the tooth is temporarily placed, it is checked for fit and color before being bonded into place.
