Yes! At McLean Dental Loft, we're excited to bring CEREC same-day restorations to our patients.
While a tooth-colored dental filling has always been a single procedure, for many years, crowns took 2-3 weeks to finish while we waited for a dental lab to complete fabrication. Gone are those days!
How Do CEREC Same-Day Restorations Work?
CEREC is an innovative in-office milling system that allows our dentists to design, fabricate, and place a dental crown or bridge in a single 90-minute office visit.
We scan your tooth using 3-D imaging instead of the messy impressions we used to take. Next, our dentists design and customize your restoration using the 3-D image. Then, our in-house milling machine fabricates your restoration using your dentist's exact specifications. Finally, our dentists place your crown and make any needed adjustments to ensure optimal bite function.
What Are the Advantages of Same-Day Crowns in McLean?
CEREC crowns offer several benefits that patients appreciate:
- Efficiency — Completing your restoration during one visit saves you time.
- Convenience — You don't have to endure wearing a temporary crown with CEREC restorations.
- Comfort — 3-D scans are quick and comfortable, eliminating the need for messy impressions.
- Quality — A CEREC restoration is made using high-quality porcelain.
