Too often, we treat instant gratification like it’s a bad thing. Why?
What if, for instance, your dentist, upon identifying your need for a dental crown, could simply design, fabricate, and place that crown before you leave that day? The full dental crown process, completed in a single visit? That’s not a bad thing!
Welcome to the revolutionary world of CEREC® same-day dental crown technology! A revolutionary, state-of-the-art, same-day treatment approach, CEREC is transforming the process for getting top-quality, custom-fitted dental crowns!
Digital Imaging: The First Step in the CEREC Process
The CEREC process discards messy and uncomfortable molds of the past, instead leveraging digital technology to capture images and impressions of your mouth. With a specialized camera, your dentist scans the affected area and creates an intricate 3-D model that’s instantly visible on a screen. As the digital model captures every nook, cranny, and contour, this allows for real-time crown design with unparalleled precision and patient comfort.
3-D Design and Milling: The Key to CEREC Technology
After the tooth is scanned, advanced software designs a crown to match the exact size, shape, and color of the tooth being restored. Once the design is finalized, the crown is custom-milled in-house. The milling machine uses top-quality, natural-looking ceramic blocks to carve out crowns that perfectly match the 3-D model. The milling process only takes 15-20 minutes, ensuring patients get their crowns and can return to their daily routines without waiting weeks for a dental lab..
Advantages of CEREC Same-Day Crowns
The integration of digital imaging and precision milling into a single process brings with it several major benefits, including:
- Convenience — CEREC technology for same-day crowns eliminates the need for temporary crowns and follow-up appointments.
- Precision — Thanks to precise digital imagery, CEREC minimizes the risk of errors associated with traditional impressions.
- Comfort — CEREC provides a seamless, comprehensive experience in a single visit.
In short, CEREC technology for same-day crowns is setting a new standard in restorative dentistry by delivering top-quality treatment in less time and with far less stress!
