When you have a damaged tooth, you want the problem to be repaired as quickly as possible. At Impressions Dental in Chandler, AZ, we use the advanced CEREC system, a sophisticated in-house technology that makes it possible for our team to create and place same-day dental crowns.
Understanding the CEREC System
Dental offices typically use off-site dental labs to create a variety of personalized dental repairs, which means some customized restorations can take a week or longer to be ready. But sometimes you need a dental crown right away and don’t have time to wait to fix your tooth. With the CEREC technology, our office ensures that you get your smile back quickly.
- What is CEREC? The CEREC system is known as a CAD-CAM system – computer assisted design and computer assisted milling.
- How CEREC works: In the simplest definition, CEREC uses a milling device and computer design to create custom dental restorations on-site while you wait.
- One appointment only: Anyone who has concerns about fitting in a second or third dental appointment to complete their restoration can save time and effort by visiting a dental practice that offers top-quality, customized crowns in a day.
- Impeccable customization and fit: Besides delivering incredible convenience, CEREC same-day crowns allow your dentist to provide incredible accuracy in fit and appearance of your crown since it is customized on the spot.
- Natural look: CEREC same-day crowns are a less-invasive restoration that look just like your natural tooth in shape, size, and color.
Problems CEREC Same-Day Crowns Can Fix
A broken tooth the day before an important presentation, root canal therapy right before you go on vacation, a damaged tooth the week before your wedding – some dental restorations require quick work. Knowing that you can rely on your dentist for CEREC same-day crowns is a relief.
Dental crowns in general are a versatile treatment that offer both restorative and cosmetic benefits. If you experience any of the following problems, a crown made with the CEREC system will protect, beautify, and strengthen your tooth:
- Fractured tooth: If a tooth is chipped, cracked, or broken, it is wide open to bacteria and food particles, as well as further deterioration.
- Tooth infection: A deep infection in the tooth often calls for root canal therapy which often requires the removal of some tooth enamel.
- Decayed tooth: Some cavities are so large that the tooth can’t handle a tooth-colored filling and need a more robust repair.
- Stained tooth: A tooth is so discolored that professional teeth whitening can’t make a dent in changing its appearance.
- Weak tooth: Some teeth are prone to breaking and are weak in both strength and function.
- Unsightly tooth: Misshapen teeth or those that are unsightly in any way interrupt the flow of your smile and stand out in an unpleasant way.
