When it comes time to get a dental crown, precision and convenience are probably both high on your list of priorities. Your Logan dental office understands that you want restorations that fit perfectly and don’t require that you come in for multiple visits.
That’s why we’ve invested in the latest Cerec technology. It’s a revolutionary system that allows our office to design, manufacture, and place same-day crowns for you with exceptional accuracy.
Well, traditional crowns usually require that you find the time to come in for two or more visits. After the initial tooth preparation, a mold is taken and sent to an off-site lab. This process can actually take weeks, so patients often need temporary crowns that can be uncomfortable or prone to damage.
With an in-office Cerec machine, there’s no more waiting time. The entire process, from the digital impression to crown milling and final placement, happens during just one appointment. This saves you time and also improves the precision of the fit.
The first step of the process is capturing a highly detailed 3D digital scan of your prepared tooth. Unlike traditional molds that are taken for crowns, these scans are much more comfortable and so much more accurate.
The digital model is used to design your crown on specialized software. This allows your Logan dentist to then customize every contour and shade to match your natural teeth.
Once the design is finalized, the Cerec milling machine carves out your crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic, right there in the office. This technology ensures that the crown has an exact fit with your tooth. This minimizes adjustments and provides you with a stronger and more durable restoration.
Same-day crowns mean fewer visits, less discomfort, and a restoration that feels great and looks as natural as the rest of your teeth. And since everything can be done in just one visit, you can walk out that door with a fully restored tooth, ready to eat and smile with confidence.
So, what are you waiting for? If you’re in need of a crown and want the best fit with none of the hassle, schedule your appointment today and learn more about same-day crowns with Cerec.
