Crowns in a Single Visit
Welcome to dentistry in the 21st century! Dr. Salmons is pleased to offer crowns made with CEREC™, a highly precise computer milling machine that makes crowns right in the office, while you wait. No more temporaries, additional visits, or crowns that don’t seem to fit right. CEREC crowns are convenient and aesthetically desirable, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up function. These modern restorations dramatically reduce cracking, lowering the likelihood of needing future root canal treatment. Due to the custom design and precise fit, CEREC restorations are bonded to the tooth with the optimum strength available. If you have ever had a crown placed the traditional way, we are sure you will notice the difference!
Natural-Looking Crowns Made While You Wait
Until recently, having a tooth repaired with a crown took a number of weeks and multiple steps. First, there was the initial visit for the temporary and casting impressions. Then there was a long wait while another lab shaped the permanent crown. Then a second, follow-up visit ensued for your dentist to place the crown. If it didn’t fit correctly, then the entire process began again.Fortunately, there have been amazing improvements in technology. Instead of a multi-week timeframe, in roughly one hour you can have your new permanent crown placed in your mouth. With CEREC computer-aided design and milling, the fit will be impeccable, the crown will be long-lasting, and the exceptionally natural appearance will simulate the look of an original tooth. Dr. Salmons’ patients love this new method.
The process is both simple and amazing. With a special camera, a detailed image is taken and presented on our computer screen. We then model the
restoration and CEREC produces the crown. Next, we insert and bond the restoration to your tooth. Like our other patients, you will be ecstatic about how easy this is! At last, a great-fitting replacement, an esthetic alternative to silver or plastic fillings, and all without nasty, goopy impressions or an extended wait. Call us today and schedule your new crown.
