If you’ve ever needed a dental crown, you know the usual process can take weeks. Multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and waiting for your permanent restoration can be frustrating. But there’s a solution that can save you time without compromising quality. At Stringham Dentistry, our Edmonton cosmetic dentist team offers CEREC technology to make your experience fast, efficient, and precise.
What Does CEREC Stand For?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It may sound complex, but the concept is simple. CEREC allows your dentist to design, create, and place your cosmetic dental crown all in a single appointment. Using advanced 3D imaging and computer-aided design, your crown is custom-made to fit your tooth perfectly. This means no temporary crowns, fewer office visits, and a smile that looks and feels natural.
How CEREC Crowns Work
During your appointment, Dr. Cameron Stringham or Dr. Rachel Liu will prepare your tooth for the crown. Next, a digital scan captures the exact dimensions of your tooth, eliminating the need for messy impressions.
Using this scan, CEREC software designs your new crown while ensuring optimal fit and bite alignment. Once the design is complete, a milling machine creates your crown from a durable ceramic block right in the office. Finally, your Edmonton cosmetic dentist will place the crown, giving you a strong, beautiful, and long-lasting restoration in just one visit.
Benefits of CEREC Crowns
One of the biggest advantages of CEREC is convenience. If you have a busy schedule, fitting multiple dental appointments can be difficult. CEREC lets you get your cosmetic dental crown in a single visit.
The crowns are also highly aesthetic, matching the color and translucency of your natural teeth. And because the process is digital, it is incredibly precise, reducing the risk of ill-fitting restorations or discomfort.
