Natural-Looking Crowns Made In About an
Hour
You
are probably familiar with the routine of having a crown made. An
impression is made and a temporary crown is placed over the tooth.
After two weeks, there is a visit to the dentist to have the
permanent crown placed. If the fit isn’t right, the crown is sent
back to the lab. After it is re-made, it is another trip to the
dentist. We are pleased to feature the technology of CEREC™
restorations. It is now a one-hour procedure for a well-fitting,
long-lasting, natural-looking crown! CEREC is a computer-aided
device that mills the crown in just minutes. No longer are
impressions or temporaries needed. Amazing!
The
procedure is easy. A tooth is prepared with an application of a
reflective powder. With a specially designed camera an image of
the tooth is taken and then viewed on our computer screen. This
lets us design the crown. When the process is completed CEREC
will create the restoration. We then bond the crown to the tooth’s
surface. This entire procedure is much faster and easier and is
accomplished in just a single visit.
