If you’re dealing with dental damage, the last thing you want to do is wait for weeks or months to get the treatment that you need. Our Novato dentists understand this, which is why we work hard to provide our patients with the convenient treatments they need to get back to normal.
One technology that has vastly improved the patient experience, especially in cases of dental emergencies, is CEREC. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic. Using this technology, our dental team is able to craft and place your dental restoration right here in our office, in just one appointment.
Many patients choose CEREC treatment because they really don’t want to have to deal with temporary crowns. These temporary restorations, which patients have traditionally worn in between the appointments when their teeth are prepped and their crowns are placed, can be ill-fitting and awkward. Luckily, CEREC makes the temporary crown obsolete.
Another benefit of CEREC treatment is that you benefit from continuity of care. Our dentist is in control of the fit and appearance of your restoration, from start to finish. We are able to immediately make any refinements necessary, so that your final restoration is perfect.
Because CEREC restorations are milled from custom-shaded ceramic, every crown can be customized to match the patient’s existing dental enamel. Once in place, they blend in seamlessly with the smile as a whole. The ceramic that is used to craft these crowns is durable and designed to stand up to the wear and tear of daily life. So, while these restorations are placed in just one day, they are absolutely high-quality permanent crowns.
If you are dealing with dental damage, our Novato CEREC dentists encourage you to reach out for a dental assessment and treatment. You don’t have to suffer with broken teeth for weeks, months, or years, there are convenient treatment options available to you!
