Single Visit CAD/CAM
All Porcelain Crowns


Dr. Boulard started his training in Dental CAD/CAM
technology in 2003. He uses the CEREC
3 system by Sirona. The advantage of using
this technology is that the crown is designed and milled on premises,
while you wait. After the preparation of your tooth is completed,
an optical impression of your tooth is taken with a special camera.
The images are then converted to a three dimensional image into
the computer. Dr. Boulard then designs a new crown for your tooth
using CAD/CAM based technology. Once the design of the crown is
completed, it is sent to the milling machine for fabrication.
It typically takes 15 minutes for the milling process to complete
your crown. The crown is then inserted on your tooth, and permanently
bonded into place. In one visit, you have a custom milled CEREC
all porcelain crown that is high quality and exceptionally esthetic.
There are no unsightly metal lines of graying at the gum line,
because light passes through the porcelain material. This technology
saves taking more time from work for a second appointment. It
also means not getting numb twice, not having impressions, or
having a temporary crown which can come off while waiting for
your final crown to come back from the lab.
