A Full, Beautiful Smile with CEREC in Saginaw!
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. Essentially, chairside treatment is just that—you wait in your chair at our office while we create your permanent crown. The crown will be made from a quality, strong material designed to blend in with your natural smile.
The CEREC Procedure | What To Expect
Every step of the CEREC procedure can be completed in a single appointment. Here is a list of the steps involved.
- Exam and Tooth Prep | Dr. Sheridan will provide you with an anesthetic and prepare the tooth for restoration by removing the outer portion and any decay.
- 3D Impression | The innovative 3D impression involves a digital camera scan of the tooth. This type of impression is mess-free and instantly gives us the information we need to create your dental crown.
- Designing and Manufacturing | Using the computer design program, we will fashion a restoration that fits you flawlessly. The milling unit uses our design to produce the restoration within minutes.
- Bonding the Restoration | Immediately after your restoration comes out of the milling unit, Dr. Sheridan will try your restoration on you to see if it matches the shape, size, and color of your smile. If it is ready, he will bond and polish the restoration right then and there.
CEREC Crowns vs. Traditional Dental Crowns
CEREC isn’t just about convenience, it is also about quality and restoring the functionality of your bite in one visit. Looking at the advantages of CEREC crowns can help you decide if our same-day option will work for you.
- Time: Traditional crowns require at least two dental visits to place. CEREC crowns only need one, saving you valuable time.
- Placement: For a traditional crown, your dentist will give you a temporary crown (often made from rubber impressions) to wear while you wait for your permanent crown. With CEREC, there is no need for a temporary crown because the final crown is ready so quickly.
- Fit: The digital scans used with CEREC are extremely precise, creating a better fit.
- Feel: The CEREC crowns are made from durable, strong materials. These dental crowns look and feel like natural teeth.
CEREC crowns can give your smile an immediate transformation as well as protect your tooth from further damage. Each crown is customized to suit your smile and your needs.
