While it used to take a couple of weeks to have a tooth crown made in an off-site lab, our Holland family dentist at Macatawa Smiles uses CEREC technology so the dental crown procedure only takes one visit.
This saves you the hassle of dealing with a temporary crown while you’re waiting for the permanent crown. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.
In the past, dentists would have to insert a tray of pink goop into your mouth to take dental impressions. Today, our dentist uses a handheld device to take digital dental impressions.
Once our dentist has taken pictures of your teeth, he will start to create your tooth 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 ceramic crowns right in our office. CEREC crowns make it possible for you to go home with a new dental crown in one appointment.
