What Are CEREC Same Day Crowns?
CREC Same Day Crowns, also known as Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CREC), are dental crowns made using CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple visits and temporary restorations, CREC Same Day Crowns are fabricated and placed in a single dental appointment. The process involves digital scanning, designing, and milling of the crown right in our Farmington Hills dental office.
