When a damaged or decayed tooth requires a crown, the traditional process can mean multiple appointments, uncomfortable impressions, and weeks of waiting. At Smillie Dental in Port Orange, modern dentistry looks a little different.
Thanks to advanced CEREC technology, patients can now receive a fully customized, high-quality dental crown in just one visit. It’s a faster, more comfortable approach that puts your convenience and care first.
What Is CEREC and How Does It Work?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s an innovative computer-assisted design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system that allows Dr. Joseph and Dr. Helen Smillie to create and place a permanent dental crown in the same appointment, right in the office.
The days of sending impressions to an off-site lab and wearing a temporary crown are over. Here’s how a typical CEREC crown visit looks at Smillie Dental:
- Digital Scanning: Instead of messy impressions, we use a precise digital scanner to create a 3D image of your tooth.
- On-Site Design: Using advanced software, your custom crown is digitally designed for optimal fit and appearance.
- In-House Milling: The restoration is milled from a solid ceramic block right in our office, matched perfectly to your tooth shade.
- Same-Day Placement: Your crown is placed, polished, and adjusted in the same visit. No follow-up needed.
The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns aren’t just about speed. They also provide tangible benefits in comfort, quality, and experience. At Smillie Dental, CEREC allows us to deliver superb clinical results while making your visit as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here’s why patients love having their crown done in a day:
- No Temporary Crowns: You won’t have to wear a temporary crown that could become loose or cause other issues like sensitivity.
- Ultimate Comfort: Digital impressions eliminate the need for trays and molds, making treatment easier for those with gag reflexes or dental anxiety.
- Long-Lasting Results: CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic that is both durable and lifelike.
- Fewer Appointments: One visit means less time off work or away from your family.
