Why Dental Patients Are Loving CEREC Same-Day Crowns
The field of dentistry is constantly evolving. Treatments are developed to allow dentists to provide better treatment to patients. Others are developed to make treatments more convenient for patients. One such innovation of convenience which has occurred in recent years is the development of CEREC technology. CEREC technology makes same-day dental crowns possible. CEREC crowns have become incredibly popular in the Paxton, Massachusetts, area, where they are offered by Drs. Fadi Farah and Scott Siemen and their team at Paxton Dental Care. Here are some reasons why CEREC same-day crowns are becoming popular with Dr. Siemen’s patients.
What Makes CEREC crowns different?
The immediate difference with a CEREC crown is that you can walk out wearing your new crown in just a single visit. No impressions need to be sent to a lab, resulting in a second appointment and a temporary crown. Other than this, there is a difference in the process you will undergo to get your crown. It would help if you took physical impressions of your teeth using a mold for traditional crowns. With CEREC crowns, no putty is necessary! A laser scanner will be used to make a three-dimensional model of your teeth, which is fed into an on-site computer system where your dentist can look at the tooth requiring the crown and how the crown will interact with adjacent teeth. Adjustments can be quickly made. Shade, shape, etc., is set, and the crown is created. This beats the drawn-out process of traditional crowns by a mile.
Cost
When it comes to same-day crowns, you will not need to pay a heftier price tag just for the convenience. Both traditional and CEREC same-day crowns will cost roughly the same. In many cases, patients requiring a CEREC crown get a single crown, while those seeking traditional crowns could be seeking multiple crowns, leading to a higher price tag.
