Traditional Crowns VS CEREC <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The traditional process to receive a crown typically takes\nat least 2 appointments to complete. During the first visit, your tooth is\nprepared and reshaped to allow the crown to fit over it. You\u2019ll then need to\nhold an impression material in your mouth for several minutes. This can be uncomfortable,\nespecially for patients who have severely damaged teeth, a strong gag reflex,\nor jaw pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impression is used to create your new restoration to\nmeet your exact specifications. This can take the dental lab a couple of weeks,\nso you\u2019ll need a temporary crown in the meantime. After it\u2019s ready, you return\nto your dental office to have it bonded to your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEREC Restorations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CEREC\ntechnology<\/a> will save you time and money when needing a restoration. After\nyour tooth is prepared, you won\u2019t need a traditional impression. Instead, a\ndigital scan of your mouth is taken to get the information needed to design\nyour crown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scan integrates with CAD\/CAM technology, where your\ndentist creates your restoration to meet your exact needs. The information is\nsent to an in-office milling machine. It cuts your restoration from a single\nblock of all-ceramic material in about 1 hour. There\u2019s no need for a temporary\ncrown or second appointment. The entire process can be performed in a single\nafternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides crowns, CEREC can also be used for other treatments\nas well, like porcelain veneers and onlays. No matter the treatment, you\u2019ll\nenjoy natural-looking results without the headache or hassle of the traditional\nmethod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
