If you’ve ever needed a dental crown after undergoing a root canal procedure, you likely remember the inconvenience associated with returning to the dentist several weeks later for the placement of the permanent crown. This process can often feel time-consuming and tedious. However, there is good news for patients seeking a more efficient solution: Dr. Travis Bell, Dr. Janna Matko, and Dr. Margaret Szott at Travis A. Bell DDS PLLC are now offering CEREC crowns.
CEREC technology enables crowns to be designed and created in a single visit. This innovative approach allows you to have your crown fitted and manufactured while you wait, eliminating the need for multiple appointments. This not only saves you time but also enhances your overall dental experience, allowing you to leave the office with a fully restored smile in a single visit.
CEREC crowns combine the benefits of traditional crowns with the advantages of modern technology. With CEREC, you can skip the temporary crown stage, enjoy digital impressions that are more accurate and mess-free, and walk out with a perfectly fitted, permanent crown that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Your tooth will be carefully prepared and numbed to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The dentist will gently reshape the outer layer of the affected tooth, ensuring that sufficient space is created for the CEREC crown to fit securely and snugly in place. This meticulous process is designed to provide a comfortable and effective solution for restoring your tooth.
Using a small digital scanner, the dental team captures the inside of your mouth quickly and accurately. This precise scan ensures your new CEREC crown fits perfectly the first time, often eliminating the need for multiple adjustments.
After scanning, our dentists use CAD/CAM software to design your custom crown right in front of you. You can observe as the in-house milling machine carves your crown from tooth-colored ceramic, ensuring a perfect match with your existing teeth.
In today’s busy world, taking time off work or school can be a significant challenge. CEREC crowns allow for a quick visit—you’re in and out in one appointment, saving you valuable time.
With same-day crowns, you leave the office with your smile restored immediately. You can eat normally and enjoy activities without delay, as CEREC crowns are durable and designed to last for years.
Dr. Bell and Dr. Matko provide CEREC crowns at Travis A. Bell, DDS, PLLC. While the process is efficient, the team ensures you receive the personalized attention needed for a comfortable experience. Call (336) 297-6956 today to schedule your appointment and take advantage of this innovative dental solution.
