When individual teeth become vulnerable, dentists will often restore them with a crown. A traditional crown procedure takes at least two visits—one to prep your tooth and another to put your crown in place. But at Dr. Carmen’s Norman dental office, we’re simplifying this process into just one visit, all thanks to CEREC technology.
CEREC crowns are made from durable dental porcelain and can be custom-milled in our office in about an hour. There’s absolutely no temporary crown to worry about, and you can leave our office with your new smile that same day.
A Restored Smile in Just One Appointment
When you come to our Norman office for a CEREC restoration, Dr. Carmen will start by creating a 3D image of your tooth. Then, while you’re relaxing in our office, our CEREC machine will use the information we’ve gathered to make your custom-made crown.
Compare that to the traditional process, where a temporary crown is put in place. With CEREC, instead of spending a week worrying about a temporary crown, you can enjoy a healthy, restored smile after just one appointment.

People avoid the dentist for a variety of reasons. In some cases, it’s because of dental anxiety. In others, it’s because a condition that makes sitting in dental chairs for long periods uncomfortable. But for still others, the reason has more to do with a busy lifestyle than anything else.
