Dental crowns in one-visit with CEREC from your Wichita area dentist

Dental technology is constantly evolving. Today, in Wichita, patients have access to the most advanced treatments that make repairing damage and enhancing the appearance of the smile a breeze. One of the biggest downfalls of dental treatment has always been the number of appointments necessary for certain procedures to be completed. Everyone has a busy schedule and making time to come back for two or three appointments can be difficult to manage.

CEREC, which stands for Ceramic Reconstruction, is a way for patients to receive dental crowns in just one-visit to the dentist's office. This convenient way to receive in-house fabricated crowns allows patients to eliminate the need for a second dental appointment, saving time and making happier patients.

CEREC technology takes detailed images of the tooth, which is then sent to software that will convert it into an image on the screen. This image is then used by the dentist to design the crown. Once the design is complete, it is sent to the milling machine where we place a block of porcelain that matches your natural tooth color. The crown is fabricated in less than twenty minutes and then is ready to be placed!

Although the convenience of having your crown placed in one-visit is excellent, convenience is not the only reason that patients are opting for CEREC restorations. Here are just a few of the other reasons:

• Appearance. The ceramic material used in these restorations mimics natural tooth enamel. CEREC restorations are natural looking. In addition, porcelain is resistant to stains, allowing it to stay beautiful for a long time.
• Strength. Ceramic is extremely durable and long lasting. CEREC crowns can withstand the pressure of normal functions such as biting and chewing, which means you can count on them to last.
• Easy care. CEREC crowns do not require any sort of special cleaning. All you have to do is brush and floss your teeth as normal. It is important to remember that while a dental crown will not decay, the tooth and gum tissue underneath it is still susceptible to decay or disease. It is important to maintain regular check-ups along with professional cleanings.
