Patients in AThens, Monroe, and Loganville now get Dental Crowns in One Visit with CEREC

They say that life moves at a little slower pace in the South. That we Georgians take our time to do things right and enjoy the moment. My name is Dr. Don Jones, and I've lived in Georgia for a long time. I know that those impressions are true, but I also see the lives of my patients in the Athens, Monroe and Loganville areas getting busier with each passing day. Every hour out of the office or away from family counts. I've invested in CEREC technology to help dental treatment take a little less of your time.

Understanding CEREC 

CEREC is short for "ceramic reconstruction." It is a precise method of creating a lovely, dental crown from a solid cube of porcelain. Suppose you've broken a tooth or have an area of decay so large that your tooth just won't hold a conventional filling. I prep the tooth, removing damaged portions and shaping the remaining structure carefully. Then I take digital images. This information goes into a robust computer program that tells the milling machine exactly how to form your crown, while you wait.​


The benefits of CEREC 

Porcelain is a beautiful match for the luster and light reflecting qualities of natural tooth enamel. It is strong enough even for the bite force on molars, and it is durable, lasting indefinitely with good oral hygiene. 

Perhaps the biggest benefit of a CEREC crown, though, is convenience. Having a traditional crown fitted, crafted, and placed typically takes at least two visits. I can prepare your tooth, make a CEREC crown, and cement it in place in just one appointment. That's less time out of your busy calendar, and no need to baby a temporary crown for a few weeks. 

For very complex cases or patients who want more subtle color variation, I also offer high quality porcelain crowns made at an off site dental lab. Be assured that we'll make every effort to schedule those visits around your other activities.

Do I sound excited when I describe CEREC dental crowns? That's because I am. I really enjoy helping patients throughout the Athens, Monroe, and Loganville areas benefit from great dental health, radiant smiles, and more time doing the things they love.

Thank you for this educational blog post! Dental crowns are a popular dental procedure that is used to treat teeth that have been damaged. They are also referred to as caps or dental veneers and they can be made from porcelain, metal, resin composite or gold.

A dental crown is a restoration that is designed to cover the entire tooth. It can be used on one tooth or many teeth depending on the severity of the damage being treated. A dentist will remove all of the decay from a tooth, fill it with a dental filling and then place a crown over it.

A dental crown helps prevent further decay and restores function and aesthetics to your smile!
