The CEREC Digital Impressions Treatment Process
You’ve probably wondered why a best smile restoration can take so long while requiring several different appointments. Instead of dealing with the hassle of running back and forth, CEREC digital impressions is a high-tech approach that helps to provide you with a finished treatment in just a single Boise dental visit.
Below is quick overview to help you gain a better understanding of how cerec digital impression works:
Digital impressions with CEREC.
CEREC digital impressions is a type of computer-aided, design technology, dentistry. In fact, your Boise dentist will prepare your tooth before taking a digital image using the specialized CEREC equipment and software. Next, the onlay, crown, or other best smile restoration device in then created on site. Since the process is digitized, its comfortable and accurate.
Treatment only takes a single visit.
Since nobody likes having to visit their Boise dentist multiple times for a single problem, the most inconvenient part about getting Boise crowns and bridges was needing two separate appointments. In the past, during the first visit, you would have needed to have a mold taken. Additionally, you would also need a temporary crown put over the tooth being worked on while hoping it lasted until your second appointment.
With CEREC digital impressions, your crown is produced quickly, and on-site. That means your Boise dentist can apply your crown and you’ll be ready to go. There is no need to return for a second appointment after a few weeks.
CEREC materials are made of porcelain or ceramics.
Some Boise crowns and bridges are made of metal. While lead-free metals are safe, silver or gold-colored crowns can be unattractive. CEREC crowns and bridges are made of ceramic and porcelain that closely match the natural color of your teeth.
CEREC digital impressions help you to avoid multiple dental visits while providing better long-term results. Ask your Boise dentist at Summit Dental about CEREC to find out whether it is a good option for you!
