Understanding Dental Crowns
A dental crown, often termed a "cap", is a protective covering placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, appearance, and functionality. Traditionally, the process of getting a crown would involve an initial appointment to prepare the tooth and take impressions, followed by a temporary crown placement. The patient would then wait for the dental laboratory to design and fabricate the permanent crown—a process that could take weeks.
Enter CEREC One-Visit Crowns
However, with our cutting-edge CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, we've transformed the crown experience. Rather than waiting for a laboratory to craft your crown, we use advanced Primescan and Primemill technology to design, fabricate, and place your custom crown in a single appointment.
The process is quick and painless due to our investment in the latest technology:
- Scanning: Using the Primescan, a detailed, high-resolution 3D scan of your tooth is captured. This technology ensures precision without the discomfort of traditional impression trays.
- Design: With the captured image, a custom crown is designed digitally, ensuring a perfect fit for your tooth.
- Fabrication: The Primemill then crafts your crown from a ceramic block in mere minutes. This ceramic is biocompatible, durable, and can be color-matched to your natural teeth.
- Placement: Once fabricated, Dr. K will expertly place and adjust the crown, ensuring it feels just right in your bite.
Why Choose CEREC Over Traditional Crowns?
- Speed: Instead of multiple visits over weeks, get your crown in a single appointment.
- Comfort: No messy impressions. Digital scanning offers precision without discomfort.
- Customization: The crowns are crafted from durable ceramic, ensuring longevity and a natural look.
- No Temporary Crowns: Bypass the need for temporary crowns and potential associated complications.
- Precision: Advanced technology ensures a fit that's tailored to your tooth.
