How to Fix Your Dental Crown in One Visit with CEREC (Video)
The last time you had a broken, chipped, or cracked tooth, how long did you have to wait to fix your dental crown? What if you knew of a Wichita dentist’s office where you could get a high-quality, beautiful, and permanent dental crown in just a couple hours?
Nobody likes being at the dentist longer than they have to. But when you have a chipped, cracked, or broken tooth, you have to get proper care ASAP to repair your tooth with a custom-fit dental crown; otherwise, you risk damaging the tooth’s root and may even lose it!
Learn how you can fix your dental crown in just one visit with CEREC same-day technology.
Fixing dental crowns the old fashioned way
Back in the day, this process of designing, creating, and placing a dental crown used to take about two weeks.
On a typical day, you could be chewing on some pistachios or accidentally bite a tiny bone in your meal until suddenly, you feel a sharp pain pulsing into your jaw and neck.
After trying to live with the pain for a few days, you gave into the voice of wisdom and decided to visit your dentist.
The dentist would then take a look at your tooth and perform any needed cleanup work. After prepping the area, the dentist would then place a gooey clay-like mold for you to bite into and then ask that you hold your mouth wide open for approximately two minutes (which felt like an eternity).
The doctor sends your impression to the dental lab to get working on your new replacement tooth (a.k.a. dental crown).
Formerly, you would have to wait about two weeks with an uncomfortable and very noticeable temporary fix until your permanent dental crown was complete.
At that time, you would return for yet another visit to set the restoration in its place correctly and permanently, if the one sent by the lab was correct. If the dental crown didn’t fit, then you would repeat the whole process until they got it right.
But today, dental technology has sped up the process amazingly! What used to take weeks now takes just hours.
