Modern dental technology has truly changed how your dentist cares for your teeth. There is now a wide range of dental services designed to make your trips to the dentist faster and easier than ever before. One such dental service is CEREC same-day crowns, so if you are in Milwaukee or West Allis and need a dental crown, we want to talk to you.
What Are CEREC Same-Day Crowns?
If your dentist has suggested that a dental crown is your best treatment plan, CEREC same-day crowns are something to consider because the process is much faster and more comfortable than previous treatments.
CEREC stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic,” and with this revolutionary treatment option, our office can design, create, and place your new dental crown in only one appointment.
Gone are the days of making several trips to the dentist and wearing a temporary crown while you waited for the laboratory to create your permanent crown. With CEREC same-day crowns, you will go home with your new permanent tooth the same day.
CEREC same-day crowns are strong and beautiful, and a dental crown serves as a cap to protect your tooth, so you have a much greater chance of saving your natural tooth and avoiding an extraction.
What Is the CEREC Same-Day Crown Process?
Here’s how it works:
- A dental team member will ensure you are comfortable and explain the procedure to you.
- Dr. Monteagudo will prepare your tooth for the dental crown. This process involves removing a layer of your tooth’s enamel to allow the crown to cover your entire tooth.
- Next, he will take 3-D scans of your mouth to create a crown that fits your mouth perfectly.
- Dr. Monteagudo will use computer programs, known as CAD/CAM, to both design and create your dental crown while you are in our dental office.
- Finally, he will place your permanent crown in your mouth, polish it, and check your bite. That’s it!
