The CEREC technology provides a lot of advantages to our patients, including the following:
Convenience
When we say "single visit crowns," we mean it. It used to take at least two visits to get a crown placed, assuming the temporary crown you were required to wear for three weeks did not fall off and require redoing.
Two to three visits and a minimum wait time of three weeks have been reduced to a few hours. While eating or indulging in other ordinary activities, you won't have to worry about your temporary crown falling off.
No Temporary Crowns
Patients must wear a temporary crown that isn't custom-made while waiting for their crown to be made in the lab. With CEREC, you can skip that step!
Temporaries may be a real pain. They periodically fell out before the next session, caused sensitivity, did not fit well, and harmed the ability to chew and talk normally. These temporary crown side effects could make the three-week wait feel interminable.
Temporary crowns also irritate the gums and let bacteria enter the prepared tooth. They may even cause the adjacent teeth to shift, making the final crown fitting more difficult.
Preserve Your Natural Tooth
Dr. Garza uses the CEREC system's precision, which develops a 3D model of your tooth to take less of the original tooth to make room for the CEREC crown.
No Dental Impressions
No one likes the goop and trays that are part of making dental impressions. Dr. Garza uses the CEREC system’s digital tools to measure and then design your crown, eliminating the need for impressions.
Strength
Some people think CEREC crowns aren’t as strong or durable as crowns made in a dental lab. The truth is, both are milled from dental porcelain and are equally strong and durable.
You’re Involved
As Dr. Garza develops your crown in-office utilizing the system's computerized technology, you have the option of being engaged in the final color selection and other considerations.
