Tampa Smiles, Dentists in Florida, are offering CEREC, a unique and technologically advanced one-visit dental restoration system where they can walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a permanent ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer.
Talking about its advantages, CEREC dentist Dr.John Redd II of Tampa Smiles said, “CEREC is the only system available right now for ceramic dental restorations that can be carried out in a single visit. The special advantage for the patient is fewer injections, minimal drilling, and time savings, as they do not have to make a series of visits to get their tooth restored. We design and fabricate the crown during the patient’s visit, making it far quicker compared to the traditional method that takes at least a couple of weeks”
CEREC from Sirona Dental Systems is a unique system for fabricating of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. The tooth is first prepared for the crown or veneer in the traditional manner. A digital image is then taken using a special camera, which forms the blueprint for the three dimensional computerized model of the tooth. This model is used to create the patient’s crown, inlay, or veneer from a high quality ceramic block with high precision which only takes a few minutes to up to one hour depending on the complexity of the tooth to be repaired.
Speaking about the ceramic blocks from which the crowns, veneers, or inlays and outlays are milled, Dr John Redd II said, “The blocks come in a number of shades and colors to suit the shade of the tooth being restored so that it can look as natural as possible. We make an attempt to match the new tooth to the existing one as much as possible before it is glazed to a finish and cemented in place. The greatest advantage is, everything happens during a single visit making it very convenient for the patient in terms of time and effort, unlike the traditional method that takes at least two or three days, if not more ”.
Other advantages for patients include just one set of injections rather than requiring anesthetic injections at each visit during the restoration process. The restoration material is prepared by the dentist eliminating the chance of error if it is made in a laboratory. With CEREC the patient does not have to manage with temporary solutions while waiting for the new tooth, making it preferable over traditional restoration made at the lab.
The material used in making the restoration tooth, according to Tampa Smiles, is healthier as they are similar to natural teeth, without undergoing any changes when the patient consumes food and drink at different temperatures. It is also crack-resistant and is a good substitute for repairing teeth that are chipped or discolored, in addition to crowns and fillings.
