CEREC One-Visit Restorations
Previously, porcelain dental crowns required a few visits and a couple of weeks to complete. You would need to be fitted, have impressions made, have modifications to teeth made, and wear temporary crowns while the dental lab crafted your permanent porcelain crowns. With CEREC, however, CAD/CAM technology provides the impressions, acts as the dental lab, and delivers porcelain crowns right here in our office while you wait. In one visit – and with no temporary crowns to wear for weeks – we can repair your smile. Better yet, Dr. Thakkar is highly trained and certified in CEREC treatment, and she’s created countless successful results for patients in need over the years.
CEREC works by taking a digital impression of your tooth/teeth with a computer. There are no messy traditional impressions to worry about! Then, the computer transmits this information to another piece of machinery that transforms a porcelain block into your dental crown. We make sure the crown fits, carry out any needed modifications, and place your porcelain dental crown. This all happens in just about an hour, and you leave our office with a better smile than the one you came in with.
