Brookhaven CEREC Same Day Crowns

Do you have a tooth that needs repair with a dental crown? Brookhaven residents have a reliable source for excellence in dentistry and same day CEREC dental crowns at Pure Dental Health. In as little as one visit, your tooth can be repaired and a beautiful new dental crown can be in place, saving you time and discomfort compared to the traditional dental crown procedure.

Dental crowns provide a durable, protective covering for teeth that have become weakened by damage, decay or extensive dental treatments. They can also be used to secure a dental bridge to replace missing teeth or to cover cosmetic dental flaws. While crowns have been used for decades to repair teeth, the process can be tedious for the patient. Traditionally, a mold must be made of the tooth which is then sent to a dental lab to create the crown. This can take a week or longer and requires multiple visits to the dentist. In the meantime, the patient must be fitted for and wear a temporary crown until the permanent one arrives.

With CEREC technology, ceramic dental crowns can be made in-office during one visit. No messy or annoying molds are needed; there is also no need for a temporary crown. This speeds up the process, saving time and discomfort for the patient.

What is CEREC and Why is it Important?

At Pure Dental, we use the latest and most technologically advanced equipment. CEREC stands for Ceramic Reconstruction and is a sophisticated system of designing and making high-quality dental restorations in one patient visit. Developed by Sirona, CEREC utilizes 3D photography and CAD/CAM technology to assist a dentist in designing a virtual restoration (onlay, inlay, crown, or bridge) without taking impressions and, when combined with a milling unit, is able to build the actual restoration while you are still in the chair.

Sure, it’s cool. But more important, and the one driving our decision to have one, was the value to you. In addition to cutting down on the number of visits and the time interval of waiting to get back from an outside lab, there’s no need for messy impressions, and there’s no need to wear a temporary crown for two weeks (that could possibly crack or break and result in even more office visits!). This all translates to savings of money and time for you.

White Dental Crowns in One Day

The CEREC system we use at Pure Dental Health relies on advanced technology to improve the dental crown process. Instead of creating a mold of the tooth, a digital scan of the tooth creates a 3D image that can be utilized by the specialized milling equipment. Once a quick, painless scan is done, the image is sent to the on-site milling machine which creates a ceramic dental crown. In about one hour, the new crown is finished and ready to be fitted. The crown is put in place, adjustments are made, then it is bonded onto the tooth and polished.

For our patients, CEREC crowns offer several advantages. Saving time and trips to our office are the biggest benefit. Also, many people dislike the mold process that is required for traditional crowns – a silicone substance must be allowed to harden around the tooth while the mold is held in the mouth. With CEREC imaging, this process can be skipped, much to the delight of our patients. CEREC crowns are color-matched to your teeth for a beautiful, natural look that has the same durability and function as a traditionally milled crown.
