[MERIDIAN, 03/21/2016] – Scott W. Grant, DMD offers same day CEREC crowns, a faster and more effective solution for patients who want to improve their smiles. Compared to traditional crowns, these look more aesthetically pleasing and can easily be matched to the patient’s existing teeth color.

The CEREC Innovation

Scott W. Grant, DMD explains that CEREC, or Chair-side Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic, utilizes a more innovative procedure that is significantly faster than the traditional crown treatment. The CEREC procedure can be done in a single visit as they utilize an advanced dental restoration tool that creates functional and aesthetically pleasing crowns right in their dental office.

They explain that patients who avail CEREC crowns experience minimal discomfort while increasing optimal outcome during the procedure. The procedure is also done with fewer injections and drillings, making the treatment less painful and stressful overall. The entire process itself eliminates the need of sending the impressions to an off-site lab thanks to the in-office dental restoration tool that’s more effective in ‘translating’ teeth impressions into functional and visually appealing crowns.

Same Day CEREC Crowns

Scott W. Grant, DMD explains that the same day crown process actually has only three steps: exam and preparation, optical impression, and restoration and creation.

During the first step, the patient undergoes a complete dental exam to determine the necessary treatment done to improve oral health. They explain that during this process, the patient’s teeth are thoroughly cleaned to prepare for the next procedure. The second step involves finding the targeted tooth or teeth, and taking an optical impression.

For the last step, they utilize their advanced CEREC machine to create the crowns themselves right in their dental office. After all the crowns are created, they will then install them directly in the patient’s mouth. This three-step process makes CEREC crowns the faster and more effective alternative to traditional crowns.
