CEREC® Same Day Crowns
You can now get crowns in just one visit!
It's pretty amazing, but we can now build a custom-fit, long lasting, natural colored crown in less than an hour. No repeat visits, no unsightly temporaty crowns... We are very excited to be able to offer the incredibly exciting CEREC one day crown technology to our patients in the Minneapolis area.
Technology today is changing our everyday lives, and it is also impacting cosmetic dentistry in new and exciting ways. Cutting-edge innovations in dental instruments are requiring less time in the dental chair, causing less discomfort and creating very satisfying results. One breakthrough innovation, called CEREC, allows us to restore damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic fillings in one visit, saving patients time and inconvenience.
What is CEREC?
CEREC® is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Translated, it means that our dentist can economically restore damaged teeth in a single appointment using a high-quality ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth.
How does it work?
CEREC® uses CAD/CAM technology, incorporating a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument. The dentist uses a special camera to take an accurate picture of the damaged tooth. This optical impression is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where the dentist uses CAD (Computer Aided Design) technology to design the restoration. Then CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient waits. Finally, the dentist bonds the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth. The whole process takes only about one hour!
What does this innovation mean for you?
A tooth-colored restoration means no more silver fillings discoloring smiles. The filling is natural-looking, compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. Dr. Matsumoto no longer needs to create temporary crowns or take impressions and send them to a lab. Because of this, the traditional second visit has been eliminated. The CEREC® has over a decade of clinical research and documentation to support the technology. The restorations have been proven precise, safe and effective.
