CEREC Crowns - What are they?
CEREC has been used over the last 20 years for dental restorations of millions of patients worldwide. Dentists and patients have both experienced the benefits of CEREC.
Let's use the traditional example of obtaining a porcelain crown from your dentist to repair a badly damaged molar. You would have your visit at the dentists office, they would have to prepare the tooth, take an impression of the prepared tooth and then provide you with a temporary to wear when you leave the practice.
Your impression would be sent to the dental lab used by your dentist and within days or weeks your permanent crown would arrive back at your dentists office ready to be permanently cemented to your natural tooth structure. There's really nothing wrong with this scenario. You've had two visits to the dentists office and you have a new crown.
What if you could get this crown in one single visit to your dentist and walk away with an esthetic dental restoration commonly referred to as a "CEREC crown". There's no more need to take another few hours off work or away from the children, with a dentist trained in the use of Cerec technology you could have had that same crown done in one single appointment.
The all ceramic materials used provide an esthetic and functional dental restoration. CEREC isn't just used for crowns, it can be used to create beautiful natural looking veneers and an alternative to amalgam fillings. As with any dental procedure, experience and training is key to any successful implementation. For more information about this exciting new technology you can visit Cerec Online
