You have a busy life that is surrounded by daily obligations that often cause you to have to put certain things on hold, like your dental care. When you are told that you need a restoration, your first thought is often of a lengthy treatment process. You do not have the time for multiple appointments. Now, you can get the high-quality dental crown you need in just one day with CEREC. As your dentist serving Chehalis, Dr. L. Blaine Kennington strives to deliver superior care using the most advanced technology because your time and comfort are valuable. With same-day crowns, you will save time while getting the crown that you need in one appointment.
Choose a Simpler Approach
The process to receive a traditional dental crown is effective, but it does require a lengthy and somewhat uncomfortable process and we sometimes still have to use that technique. CEREC resolves these disadvantages without compromising the results.
In the past, your first appointment would involve preparing your tooth and taking an impression. The mold would have to sit in your mouth for several minutes, which is uncomfortable, especially for those with strong gag reflexes. Now, we do not have to use a foul-tasting impression. Instead, 3D scans are used, which provide us with clear and high-resolution images to create your restoration, which removes room for error for flawless results.
We send the images to our in-office CAD/CAM software to create the specifics for your crown, not to a dental lab. We then ensure that it meets your exact size, color, and shape needs for a precise fit. By matching it to your enamel color, it will blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth to enhance your smile.
Finally, we send the information to our in-office milling machine, not a dental lab. The machine will cut your crown from a single block of all-ceramic material. In about twenty minutes, it will be ready to be bonded to your tooth. You will not need to wear a temporary crown or come in for a second appointment because we remove the dental lab from the process.
Benefit from High-Quality Results
Although the restoration is created in just one day, it does not compromise the results. It will match your exact needs while being strong and durable to last for several years. Your crown will look like a natural tooth because no metals are used. You do not have to worry about your gum line darkening over time or anyone noticing that you have had the tooth treated. It will look and feel like a real tooth so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
