Why Choose Hyland Dental for CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns?
If case you aren’t aware, dental crowns are small caps designed to be placed over the teeth, repairing and protecting damaged teeth. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, and are a variety of dental crown created by a proprietary in-office mill. The nature of this machine allows dental crowns to be completed on-site in as little as an hour, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
The first portion of the appointment will be nearly identical as if you were getting a traditional dental crown. A small amount of enamel will be removed from the tooth in order to make room for the eventual dental crown—of course, your mouth will be numbed before this is done. We will then take digital impressions of your tooth and use these to design your restoration.
These digital designs will be fed into the in-office milling machine, at which point the magic happens. Within about an hour, this machine will create a new dental crown modeled to the perfect color, shape, and size for your smile. You’ll get to try on this restoration, final adjustments will be made, and you’ll leave with a brand new tooth!
The difference between two and one appointment may not sound like a massive one, but the fact is that it can make the entire process considerably more convenient. Not only will you have to make fewer trips to the dentist’s office, you’ll also skirt the need for a temporary crown to protect your teeth while you wait for the crown to be created in a lab.
CEREC dental crowns also make use of digital impression technology for the design of your restoration, which many patients prefer to messy, gooey dental molds. This advanced imaging technology also makes for more detailed, lifelike results.
You can get all of this convenience without compromising on many of the things you appreciate about dental crowns. The treatment is still just as affordable, and the material that the crown is made from will be comparable.
If this sounds appealing, give us a call and we’ll be happy to show you what this method of creating a dental crown can do for you.
