If you’ve ever needed a dental crown, you know the process can be time-consuming and inconvenient. But what if you could get a custom, durable crown in just one visit? At Grateful Dental in Marietta, Dr. Leia Porcaro offers CEREC One-Visit Crowns, a cutting-edge solution that allows patients to restore their smiles in just a single appointment. This revolutionary technology not only saves you time but also ensures a precise and long-lasting result.
In this blog, we’ll dive into what makes CEREC crowns stand out, why they’re so convenient, and how Dr. Porcaro’s expertise ensures you leave with a beautiful, healthy smile.
What Are CEREC One-Visit Dental Crowns?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crowns are custom-made dental crowns that are designed, milled, and placed in just one appointment. Unlike traditional crowns that require multiple visits and temporary crowns while you wait for a lab to fabricate the permanent one, CEREC crowns offer a fast and effective solution for restoring damaged or decayed teeth.
Using state-of-the-art 3D imaging and CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, Dr. Porcaro can create a digital model of your tooth and craft a custom ceramic crown right in the office. This entire process can be completed in as little as two hours.
The Benefits of CEREC Crowns: Why Choose a One-Visit Solution?
When it comes to dental crowns, the CEREC system offers several distinct advantages over traditional methods. Here’s why CEREC crowns at Grateful Dental could be the best option for you:
1. Same-Day Treatment
One of the most significant benefits of CEREC crowns is the ability to complete the entire procedure in a single visit. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), dental procedures requiring multiple visits can be time-consuming and inconvenient for patients. With CEREC, you don’t need to schedule multiple appointments or wear an uncomfortable temporary crown while waiting for a lab to fabricate your final crown. It’s all done in one sitting!
2. Precision and Customization
The digital imaging used in CEREC technology ensures an incredibly accurate fit. Dr. Leia Porcaro, who is highly skilled in using CEREC technology, can design your crown to fit the exact contours of your tooth, providing superior comfort and function. This precision reduces the likelihood of needing adjustments down the line, making CEREC crowns a reliable and long-lasting solution.
3. Natural-Looking and Durable
CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic material that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. The ceramic material used is known for its strength and durability, so your crown will not only look great but will also stand up to the wear and tear of daily use. According to the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, ceramic crowns have a 94% success rate over a 10-year period, offering a highly aesthetic and functional option for dental restorations.
Who is a Good Candidate for CEREC Crowns?
If you have a damaged, cracked, or decayed tooth that requires a crown, you may be a candidate for a CEREC one-visit crown. This solution is ideal for patients looking to avoid the hassle of multiple appointments and temporary crowns. CEREC crowns can be used for:
- Restoring teeth that are cracked or weakened
- Covering large fillings
- Protecting teeth after root canal treatment
- Replacing old, worn-out crowns
During your consultation, Dr. Leia Porcaro will assess your specific dental needs and determine if CEREC crowns are the right solution for you.
