Convenience is important in today’s fast-paced world, and dental care is no exception. That’s where CEREC technology shines, enabling dentists to provide same-day crowns without compromising on quality. At Gentle Dental Care in Menomonie, Wisconsin, Drs. Emily Andre and Frankie Thatcher leverage this advanced technology to restore your smile in just one visit. Let’s explore the top five ways CEREC makes this possible.
Traditional crown procedures require messy, uncomfortable molds of your teeth. With CEREC, however, everything is done digitally. A small camera takes precise 3D images of the affected tooth, eliminating the need for goopy impressions. This digital accuracy ensures that your crown will fit perfectly, making the entire process quicker and more comfortable.
One of the most remarkable aspects of CEREC technology is the in-office milling machine. Once your tooth’s digital impression is captured, the CEREC software designs a custom crown. The design is then sent to the milling machine, which crafts the crown from a high-quality ceramic block. This on-site creation allows you to walk out with your new crown the same day, skipping the usual wait time associated with external labs.
CEREC crowns are incredibly strong and are composed of long-lasting ceramic materials that complement the color of your natural teeth. This means you won’t have to worry about compromising aesthetics or durability. The biocompatible materials reduce the risk of allergic reactions or other issues, ensuring your new crown feels as natural as it looks.
CEREC technology streamlines the entire crown procedure into a single appointment. Traditional crowns often require multiple visits, with temporary crowns placed while you wait for the final product. CEREC eliminates this hassle by allowing everything to be done in one sitting, saving you time and the inconvenience of multiple dental visits.
There’sWith CEREC crowns, there’s no waiting around. Once the crown is milled and fitted, it’s bonded to your tooth immediately. You leave the office with a fully restored smile, confident that your new crown will perform like your natural teeth. Whether for function or aesthetics, you achieve instant results without compromise.
