Many patients find the procedure to be tedious and time-consuming. Fortunately, you may be a candidate for a different type of crown \u2014 one that can be designed and secured onto your tooth in just a single appointment. Let\u2019s talk more about what a CEREC crown is, how the process works, and how you can benefit from this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daradds.com\/advanced-dental-services-technology.html\">technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a CEREC Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CEREC is an acronym that stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. That sounds like quite a mouthful, but the basic idea is easy to understand. Simply put, advanced technology is used to scan your teeth and fabricate a beautiful ceramic crown \u2014 all in a single dental appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the top advantages of CEREC crowns include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There is no need for your dentist to communicate with a nearby laboratory, meaning the process is extremely streamlined.<\/li><li>The ceramic used to make CEREC crowns is incredibly durable and natural-looking.<\/li><li>The process is so quick that you will not need to wear a temporary crown.<\/li><li>In some cases, CEREC restorations cost less than traditional ones.<\/li><li>There is no need for messy, uncomfortable manual dental impressions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The CEREC Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEREC process is pretty straightforward. It typically goes like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your dentist prepares your tooth. This usually requires that they remove some enamel so the crown will fit well.<\/li><li>An intraoral scanner is used to create a three-dimensional digital representation of your teeth.<\/li><li>Advanced software helps your dentist design your crown.<\/li><li>The final design gets sent to a ceramic milling machine, which fabricates the crown out of a single block of dental-grade ceramic.<\/li><li>Your dentist verifies that the size, shape, and color of your crown are all a match for your mouth. Then, they attach it to your tooth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Will Your Appointment Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEREC process is obviously much faster than that involved in creating a traditional crown. However, it isn\u2019t instant. &nbsp;Ask your dental team how much time you should set aside for your appointment. In most cases, a few hours is a sufficient length of time for a CEREC crown to be created and attached. You may have some downtime while you are waiting for your restoration to be fabricated, so be sure to bring a game or reading material to keep your mind occupied while you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need a dental crown? Partnering with a practice that has CEREC technology can save you time, spare you from making multiple trips to the dental office, and provide you with a restoration that is both durable and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team of six dentists and specialists at Advanced Dentistry of Alhambra are proud to offer a broad range of services, including one-visit CEREC crowns.
