The Cerec Advantage
CEREC is a means of using 3D photography and computer modeling that allows dentists to measure, build and fit a crown in a single sitting. Older people will remember a day when a crown fitting was a major procedure. It would involve one sitting for measurement, then perhaps a temporary crown would be fitted. The measurements would then be taken off to a dental technician that would make the crown. At a second appointment, the temporary crown would be removed and the permanent crown would be fitted. A long procedure that has now thankfully been rendered redundant by CEREC.
The advantage of CEREC is not only that you can have your crown in a single sitting. Fitting and removing temporary crowns can be quite uncomfortable. CEREC effectively cuts out two unnecessary dental procedures. The time that you spend in the dentists chair is of course substantially reduced. If you are interested in CEREC for your next crown, make an appointment with Wayzata Dental.
