subject: Cerec Offers Improved Smile Restorations With Same-day Crowns [print this page] When you chip or crack a tooth the last thing you want to do is wait weeks and multiple visits before you finally get a fully restored tooth. With advancements in dentistry, Drakeshire Dental is able to provide you with the care you need without the wait. CEREC technology allows your dentist in Livonia to restore your damaged tooth with a crown in one easy visit.
We lead busy lives where time is of the essence, and taking time off work can often be difficult to arrange, especially if it has to be repeated again a couple weeks later. With CEREC, your restoration can be completed in one session, eliminating the need for a repeat trip. CEREC restoration offers a superior method for creating precisely designed, color-matched and highly durable ceramic restorations in your dentist's office. If you are looking to restore your smile, CEREC may be a good choice to enhance your teeth.
How does CEREC Work?
Becoming increasingly available from cosmetic dentists, CEREC is computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, or CAD-CAM, for the creation of your crown. The computer aided technology eliminates the laboratory step in manufacturing your crown, which allows for your treatment to be completed in one, simple visit and offering a perfect fit for your tooth. With the CEREC system, your dentist in Livonia and Farmington Hills can create beautiful life-like porcelain restorations for your damaged teeth.
An infrared camera is used to take images of your tooth after shaping. A CAD-CAM computer program then immediately downloads the images of your teeth to create a three-dimensional virtual model that can be viewed and manipulated on the computer monitor. The program is then used to design the crown or on-lay that will replace the missing tooth structure. The entire process is completed in the office in just one easy visit rather than multiple visits.
Explore the Benefits of CEREC
One of the main benefits of CEREC crowns is that they are fabricated in a single visit, which saves time for you, as well as your dentist. There is no need for a temporary crown between procedures, which eliminates the potential discomfort that is normally associated with the placement of a temporary crown. CEREC crowns also do not contain any metal, allowing them to be esthetically pleasing and natural looking.
CEREC crowns are the top choice for restoration by many because of the following reasons:
*Less time is spent in the dental chair
*Less tooth structure is lost in many cases
*Made of all porcelain for improved appearance
*Less chance for complications
*Environmentally friendly
*No uncomfortable impression trays
*Clinically proven
*Enamel-like materials that offer a natural look and feel
If you are in need of dental restoration with crowns, contact your Farmington Hills dentist for more information on how CEREC works and if it is a good solution for your smile. You no longer need to put up with damaged teeth or multiple visits with help of CEREC technology.
