With the help of CEREC, which is a CAD/CAM system, an experienced dentist can provide precise and resilient porcelain dental restorations in a single office visit.
Accomplished dentists recognize that a patient’s time is precious and may install this advanced technology to offer ceramic restorative work by eliminating the need for time-consuming impressions, temporary fillings, and several appointments. CEREC technology in Mississauga ON is safe, proven, and reliable for most candidates for dental crowns.
The Procedure
Your dentist will first examine your tooth and decide upon the ideal course of treatment. The tooth will then be prepared for restoration in a manner similar to traditional methods of treatment.
Next, with the assistance of a CEREC 3D infra-red digital scanning system, the dentist will obtain a visual impression of the tooth. It is possible to create an accurate copy of your tooth structure with this innovative technology.
Thereafter, exclusive Computer Aided Design or CAD software will help design every aspect of your restoration with exceptional accuracy.
A Brief Wait
For a good number of patients, the best thing about this process is that it takes place as they are resting in the dental chair.
You can sit back, browse through a magazine, or catch up on some TV shows while the on-site milling machine produces your restoration. Though it may seem unbelievable, it will take only about 20 minutes for your new restoration to be ready. Your dentist will then fit, bond, and polish it over your prepared tooth. This will support and strengthen your tooth structure.
CEREC technology in Mississauga ON can be of benefit in the following procedures:
- Porcelain Crowns
- Porcelain Veneers
- Inlays/Onlays
CEREC uses non-metal materials that closely match your natural enamel to provide you with a restorative solution of high caliber.
Benefits of a CEREC Restoration
It used to take about two weeks to fabricate your crowns in a dental lab. As a result, quite a few patients would be reluctant to opt for these treatment procedures.
Now, there is an expedient option to get the treatment you require without having to interrupt your hectic schedule. And, there is no compromise in quality or overall function.
CEREC saves people valuable time and it allows Dr. Ratra to do more conservative dentistry by doing more onlays and virtually eliminating the need for crowns.
CEREC Crowns Feel Natural
CEREC crowns provide a snug fit right out of the milling machine without the need for any adjustment, unlike other types of dental crowns. It complements the adjacent teeth in color and bite, besides doing away with the need for wearing uncomfortable temporary restorations until the final product is affixed.
In addition to being quick, the CEREC process gives exceptional restoration and there are no dark lines at the gum line unlike porcelain fused with metal crowns.
CEREC crowns are durable and can last for a decade or more with the right kind of care. Daily flossing, brushing twice a day, and regular cleanings by the dentist can extend their lifespan. Choose CEREC technology in Mississauga ON for a safe and efficient one-day dental crown restoration.
