If you're ever had a dentist place crowns in your mouth, you know the routine. Your Seattle dentist takes an impression of the tooth to be crowned. You're given a temporary crown to wear while your dentist sends the impression off to be developed into a permanent crown. Two weeks later, you return to your dentist's office and have the permanent crown placed in your mouth.
Now there's a much faster and more convenient solution. With CEREC dentistry, you can get your crowns placed by Seattle dentists in just one visit instead of two, eliminating the need for a two-week waiting period and allowing you to avoid the hassle of having to deal with an often uncomfortable temporary crown.
This is all thanks to a new innovation in dentistry called CEREC 3D. CEREC technology allows dentists to design and complete a ceramic tooth restoration without the need for impressions. A special camera takes a picture of the tooth to be crowned, and with the aid of a computer, the dentist designs the crown chair-side. The computer then creates the crown based on the dentist's design, and the crown is implanted by the dentist.
CEREC dentistry is cutting-edge technology, and it isn't offered by many Seattle dentists. Lance Timmerman DMD PS utilizes CEREC dentistry to give his clients convenient, quick service that they would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. If you're seeking to have crowns placed, know that you can save time by choosing a dentist that offers CEREC technology.
