Cerec technology has transformed the dental experience by making One Visit Crowns both possible and affordable.
In the past, getting a dental crown was a lengthy and involved process, often requiring multiple appointments. Patients would need separate visits for impressions, fittings, and the actual placement of the crown. But thanks to Cerec technology, you can now get your crown in just one visit, making the entire experience faster and easier for both patients and dentists. Let’s explore how Cerec technology is revolutionizing the dental industry by making same-day crowns a convenient and cost-effective reality for many.
Cerec technology, a CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) system, allows for the design and creation of dental crowns, bridges, and other restorations in a single appointment. This innovation has made it possible to provide dental treatments that once required multiple visits, making dental care more accessible and affordable.
The Cerec process starts with taking digital scans or impressions of the tooth, creating a precise 3D model. Once the model is ready, the Cerec machine mills the crown from a solid block of ceramic material. This crown is then fitted and bonded to the tooth, all within one visit. Compared to traditional methods, Cerec crowns offer a more accurate fit, reducing the risk of discomfort or irritation after the procedure.
To determine if a One Visit Crown is right for you, your dentist will first assess your oral health. If you have healthy teeth and gums and the affected tooth isn’t severely damaged, you could be a candidate for this treatment.
During the procedure, the dentist will take digital impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a 3D model of your mouth. This model then guides the design of your custom crown. Once the design is ready, the crown is milled from a ceramic block in about 15 minutes and is then adjusted, fitted, and bonded to your tooth in the same appointment. After the procedure, a follow-up visit may be scheduled to ensure the bond is holding well.
While the cost of crowns can vary, a One Visit Crown generally falls between $1200 and $1400. Some dental insurance plans may partially or fully cover the cost of a Cerec crown. Though certain cases may cost more, especially if the tooth requires extensive preparation, many find the convenience of one appointment worth the investment.
As with any dental treatment, there are some risks, but these are minimal with Cerec technology. Working with a qualified and experienced dentist can further reduce any potential complications, ensuring a safe and effective treatment.
Cerec technology has made One Visit Crowns an accessible option for patients seeking efficient, affordable, and comfortable dental care. This innovative approach eliminates the time, cost, and inconvenience associated with traditional crowns, making dental visits easier than ever.
