When it comes to visiting the dentist, we understand that you have a busy schedule. You do not have the time for multiple appointments or lengthy treatments. To simplify dental care, we use the latest advancements in dentistry. Among one of our many dental advancements is CEREC technology. CEREC allows us to provide same-day dental restorations using high-quality material and state-of-the-art technology. Now, you can get dental crowns in just one day with CEREC in Lacey.
How is CEREC Different?
CEREC simplifies the entire process of receiving dental crowns in Lacey. With traditional dental crowns, you require multiple appointments to undergo the entire process. During the first appointment, your tooth is prepared. After your tooth is prepared, impressions are used to create the crown. Often, impressions pose a certain challenge, especially for those who have strong gag reflexes or have severely decayed teeth. Not to mention, they can be uncomfortable; however, they are necessary for traditional crowns.
The impressions are sent to an off-site lab to create the custom-made restoration. While you wait for your restoration to be made, you must wear a temporary crown. Finally, in a couple of weeks when your permanent crown is ready, you must come back into the office to have the temporary crown removed and the permanent crown bonded to the tooth.
This is a somewhat complex and time consuming process. But, with CEREC the entire process is far easier and quicker. Your tooth is prepared and then 3D scans and images of the tooth are taken. There is no need to have messy, uncomfortable impressions taken. Using the images taken of the tooth, the information is then sent to our CAD/CAM software.
Using the software, we can create a completely individualized crown to make the exact crown you need in terms of size, shape, and color. After all the specifications are in order, we then send the information to our in-office milling machine. The milling machine creates your crown from a single block of ceramic material right from our office. In about an hour, your new restoration will be ready to be bonded to your tooth. There is no need for a temporary crown or a second appointment. Over your lunch break, you will have the high-quality restoration you need with CEREC.
