How To Have a Dental Crown In Just One Visit!
CEREC® in Arizona is an acronym that stands for Chairside Economical Restorations Esthetic Ceramic. This technology utilizes 3-D CAD/CAM software to fabricate your ideal tooth restoration in minutes, creating high quality dental ceramic crowns, fillings, and veneers.
Why Does the Same Day Dentist Use CEREC®?
• CEREC® allows our cosmetic dentist to easily craft several fillings or crowns in one session. This is especially helpful for patients who have multiple problem teeth or patients who feel a great deal of anxiety when visiting the dentist. In both cases, our patients appreciate having to schedule fewer trips to the dentist.
• Temporary crowns can be uncomfortable and some may not adhere properly because they are meant to be easily removed. With this technology, there is no need for temporary crowns or the additional visits for placement. Your dental crowns can be performed in just one (1) convenient appointment with our same day dentist.
Our same day dentist will prepare your tooth for the filling or crown much like he would in any other procedure, but instead of taking impressions of your teeth, he takes an optical impression by taking a digital picture of your tooth after applying a unique powder. This optical impression is then converted in to a 3-D image that Dr. Chang can manipulate to design your restoration. The design is uploaded to a dental milling unit loaded with a tooth-colored ceramic block. The milling unit fashions your custom restoration from the ceramic block in 10 to 20 minutes, while you wait. Our same day dentist will bond the ceramic to your tooth permanently.
