subject: The Tampa Dentist With Passion For Same Day Crowns. [print this page] Before we discuss about the new age cutting edge technologies and their effects on human lives we must know about the life before these technologies were discovered. People needed at least three appointments with the dentist to get a crown done. This procedure was not only time wasting but also very uncomfortable as the patient concerned had to keep up with a temporary crown until the original crown got prepared in the laboratory. Sometimes this temporary crown fell off before the actual crown got prepared resulting in further discomfort. Also the quality and colour of the crown was not up to the mark and could easily be differentiated from the original tooth.
With the passage of time and advent of modern technologies it has become much more comfortable for the patients and also the wastage of valuable time of the patients could be got rid of. Same day crowns technology has changed the way people thought about getting crown done. Cerec crowns have really changed the outlook of people towards dentistry as a whole. CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is the new technology where with the help of a computer crowns are prepared and delivered to the patient in a single day. In general this can be described as an economical procedure by which a dentist restores the damaged tooth with the help of a high quality ceramic material often resembling the original tooth in colour and contrast. A caring dentist takes additional care in preparing the Cerec crown which helps in building the lost confidence in a patient also.
Now the question is how does this same day crown technology work? In reality a technique called CAD/CAM (Computer aided design/Computer aided manufacturing) is used in which a camera, computer and a milling machine is incorporated. The dentist takes the picture of the damaged tooth and transfers it to the computer. Then the restoration is designed in the computer with the help of CAD technique. After the restoration is designed the computer with the help of milling machine starts the design of the crown which is called CAM. While the crown gets prepared the patient waits. When the process of the preparation of crown is complete the dentist permanently fixes the crown over the damaged tooth giving it the natural look that everybody wants. In the hands of a specialised caring dentist this process takes a maximum of one hour thus saving a huge amount of time. These crowns are plague resistant and anti-abrasive thus giving it more longevity and saving the patient from the discomfort of a temporary crown.
