You'd like to have your crown replaced, and you're trying to decide which Seattle, WA cosmetic dentist to choose. Which factors should you consider to thin the ranks of contenders?
One issue to bear in mind is the degree of technology offered by these dentists. Choosing a dentist who's on the cusp of new developments can result in many advantages for you, the patient. When it comes to crowns, there is one piece of cutting-edge equipment offered by Seattle, WA cosmetic dentists that can make a big difference in your treatment. It's called CEREC 3D, and it's a device that adds time savings and convenience as you go about getting your crowns placed.
Typically, if you're getting crowns placed, the process goes something like this: you go in to the Seattle, WA dentist's office to have an impression made of the tooth that's to be fitted with the crown. Then, about two weeks later, you return to the dentist's office to have the crown placed, having worn a temporary crown in the interim. CEREC 3D uses computer technology to shorten this process drastically, eliminating the need for a two-week wait.
CEREC 3D is new technology, and it isn't offered by all Seattle, WA cosmetic dentists. Lance Timmerman DMD PS offers this service to his clients and reports that they are grateful for the speed that this technology brings to the process of crown placement. If you're considering having work done on your crown, be sure to choose a dentist who cares enough about your time to invest in the latest technology.
