Get a Crown in One Day!
We are always running out of something, what is it? It is time! That is why at the Escondido Dental Group we like to help our patients save this precious asset! One way we do so is by the type of dental crown we offer.
Proud to Offer a Single Visit Crown
When you get a dental crown, you expect messy impressions and waiting weeks for your new crown, during which you wear a temporary one. This sure takes a lot of time! Thankfully the Escondido Dental Group makes use of an amazing technology called Cerec. This allows us to design, create, and deliver a quality dental restoration in one day!
How Does It Work?
Once the tooth is prepped, a special hand-held camera will take images of the tooth which will be sent to the computer. Here, a three-dimensional model will be adapted and shaped on the computer by an operator in the dental office. This information will be sent to a milling machine which will create the design using a porcelain block. Once complete, the crown can be tried into the mouth, glazed and polished, and finally cemented! The entire process generally takes 2 to 2.5 hours.
The process is over before you know it and you are ready to walk out of the Escondido Dental Group office with a new dental crown! Give us a call with any more questions you may have about this fabulous dental technology. We can’t wait to hear from you! 760-233-2260
