Dental crowns play a vital role in restoring and protecting damaged teeth. These custom-made, durable fake teeth fit over damaged ones, providing both structural support and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
At our practice, we offer the latest CEREC (Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, which revolutionizes the crown procedure. Unlike traditional methods that require multiple appointments and waiting periods, CEREC allows us to create and place a permanent crown in just one visit.
Typically, getting a crown involves two appointments with waiting time in between. During the first visit, your tooth is prepared, and impressions are taken to create the custom crown. In the traditional approach, you may need to endure uncomfortable impressions multiple times until they are perfect.
With CEREC, the process is streamlined and much more comfortable. After any necessary fillings or root canals are performed, your tooth is filed down for crown placement. Instead of goopy impressions, our specialized cameras create a 3-D digital model of your teeth. This ensures accuracy and is a perfect fit for your crown.
The CEREC system eliminates the hassle of traditional impressions. You no longer need to endure biting into trays of goop. Instead, the digital model allows the dentist to select the appropriate color to match your natural teeth accurately.
Once you are satisfied with the 3-D impression, the CEREC machine gets to work. In just 10-20 minutes, it mills your new, custom crown right in our office. There's no need to wait for a lab to create your crown, eliminating the need for troublesome temporary crowns.
With CEREC technology, getting a dental crown is efficient and hassle-free. Your permanent crown will be placed as soon as the machine finishes milling it, saving you time and providing immediate results.
Don't let the process of getting a crown deter you from restoring your smile. Experience the convenience and efficiency of CEREC technology at our practice, where your dental health and comfort are our top priorities.
