Complete Crown Restoration in One Appointment!

Everyone's time is important so taking the time to have dental work done is not high on most people's list. Fortunately, the latest in dental technology has made it so our patients spend less time in the dental chair getting broken teeth restored. 

Having a Cerec restoration performed is initially not much different than having a filling done. Just as with a filling, the decay is removed, or the faulty filling and the decay are removed. Following decay removal, the computer (CAD-CAM) of the Cerec acquisition unit captures an image of the prepared tooth. We utilize a corded wand to take the photograph. The computer then can be used to design the final restoration as seen on the monitor. Once all designing is completed, the details of the design are sent wirelessly to the milling unit. At the milling unit, the final restoration is located within a precision-made all-ceramic block. It takes about 10-15 minutes for the restoration to be milled. Once the restoration has been fabricated it is placed on the tooth. The restoration is bonded to the tooth which creates a very strong final result. 

The Cerec restorations are beautiful, they enhance the strength of teeth, and they re-establish the proper function for teeth. Since these are accomplished within the office in less than two hours, there is no need for a temporary crown, which may fall out, and there is no need for a second office visit to receive the final restoration. Hundreds of our patients have come to greatly appreciate this wonderful technology.
