Here at RR Dentistry, dental crowns and other restorations are an integral part of many dental restoration treatments we perform. This includes implant crowns, root canaled teeth requiring a crown, or simply covering and strengthening a tooth that has been damaged by trauma or decay. An overlay or onlay is a dental restoration RR Dentistry commonly provides. It is similar to a crown but only covers the portion of the tooth which is broken instead of the whole tooth. This means it requires removal of less vital tooth structure and therefore is so much more conservative when preparing the tooth in question. The more conservative the restoration the healthier for that tooth over your lifetime. CEREC helps doctors more easily provide this more conservative restoration in just one visit, without the hassle of temporaries and multiple visits. Dental crowns restore your smile, preserve the integrity of your mouth’s structure, and help you maintain great oral health.
With traditional dental crowns, treatment is completed in multiple visits. During the first visit, after a tooth impression is taken, a dental lab makes the crown while the patient wears a temporary crown for a couple of weeks. The patient then returns for a second visit to have their crown put in place.
CEREC crowns, on the other hand, are completed in one visit. The CEREC technology utilizes a specialized camera that takes 3D images of your damaged tooth and sends those images directly to our CEREC machine. Your crown, once expertly designed by our doctors, is then milled inside the machine right here in our office, providing us with the ability to complete your procedure the same day. You can even view the milling process if you would like, which many of our patients enjoy watching.
We understand the value of your time. To save you time and hassle, our practice uses leading-edge CEREC technology single visit crown. Call us at (512) 869-5997 or come in today to see what CEREC technology can do for you!
