The Fremont CEREC Crowns Process

Dr. Yu is very excited about an amazing advancement in Optimum Dental Care's Fremont, CA area CEREC crowns. Through the latest technology called CEREC, our qualified dentist in Milpitas creates beautiful porcelain crowns in only one visit!

A crown is used to restore a tooth that is fractured, discolored, cracked or has decay, relieving you of any discomfort or sensitivity. Crowns made with today's materials protect your health, and look incredibly natural. All of these advantages are available from the CEREC system, which replicates your original tooth through digital CAD/CAM technology. You can actually watch as your beautiful and natural-looking restoration is custom fabricated, just for you, right in our office.

At Optimum Dental Care near Fremont, CA, CEREC allows you to come in with a toothache and leave with a newly restored tooth. Leaving with your permanent restoration can mean you won't need to spend weeks wearing temporaries. This dental work enables conservative tooth restoration, which allows Dr. Yu to preserve more natural tooth structure for healthy strength.

Traditional crowns by a laboratory are also an option, depending on the circumstance and health of your tooth. Dr. Yu takes each patient's case and needs into consideration when developing which treatment options will help you the most. Call Optimum Dental Care for a consultation, and learn more about how Fremont CEREC crowns can create your beautiful, new smile in only minutes!

The High-Tech CEREC Process

Once the tooth is prepared:

1. Dr. Yu uses an infra-red camera that will help to recreate the image of the prepared tooth in our computer.
2. Then your dentist will design the restoration to make it fit your tooth and bite perfectly; size, shape, and surface contours.
3. This design is then digitally sent to the in-office milling machine, where a small block of porcelain will be carved into your perfectly-fitting restoration, in only a matter of minutes.
4. This crown applied to the tooth and verified by Dr. Yu, that the bite is correct; and that everything fits comfortably and works properly.
5. The restoration is bonded and then polished to enhance its life-like appearance to the tooth.

At Optimum Dental Care, our goal is to give our patients the best and latest dental treatments available. Call us for a consultation and learn more about how Milpitas dentist Peter Yu can use CEREC crowns to create your beautiful, new smile in only minutes!
