While it used to take a couple of weeks to have a dental crown made in an off-site lab, we use CEREC technology so the dental crown procedure only takes one visit.
This saves you the hassle of having to deal with a temporary crown while you’re waiting for the permanent crown to be made. Our Grandville dentists have the necessary training and experience to create same-day tooth restorations.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. During your dentist appointment with us, our family dentist uses a handheld device to take digital dental impressions. In the past, dentists would have to insert a tray of pink goop into your mouth to take dental impressions.
Once our dentist has enough pictures of your teeth, she will start to create your dental restoration using a special computer program right in front of your eyes. When the design is complete, our dentist will send it to a milling machine that creates dental crowns right in our office.
CEREC same-day crowns make it possible for you to go home with a new dental crown in one appointment. Same-day crowns are convenient for people with busy schedules.
