Single Visit CEREC® Dentistry

At Timberline Family Dentistry in Elizabeth, CO, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced dental care available. One of the cutting-edge services we offer is Single Visit CEREC. This innovative technology allows us to create and place high-quality dental restorations, such as crowns, in just one appointment. If you’re looking for a fast, efficient, and durable solution to restore your smile, Single Visit CEREC might be the perfect option for you.

What is Single Visit CEREC?

Single Visit CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a state-of-the-art dental technology that enables our team to design, create, and place ceramic restorations in a single visit. Unlike traditional crowns, which often require multiple appointments and temporary restorations, CEREC crowns are custom-made and fitted in just one visit.

How Does CEREC Work?

CEREC technology uses digital imaging to take precise measurements of your tooth. The process begins with our dental team taking a digital scan of the tooth that needs restoration. This scan is then used to create a 3D model of the tooth on a computer. With this model, we design a custom restoration that matches the exact shape, size, and color of your natural tooth.

Once the design is complete, the CEREC machine mills the restoration from a block of high-quality ceramic right in our office. This process takes just a few minutes. After the restoration is milled, it is polished, fitted, and bonded to your tooth, restoring its function and appearance.

Benefits of Single Visit CEREC

Choosing Single Visit CEREC for your dental restoration offers several significant benefits:

Convenience and Time-Saving

One of the most appealing aspects of CEREC technology is that it allows for the entire restoration process to be completed in a single visit. This eliminates the need for multiple appointments and temporary crowns, saving you both time and the inconvenience of return visits.

High-Quality Materials

CEREC restorations are made from durable ceramic materials that closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. The ceramic used is highly resistant to wear and staining, ensuring that your restoration not only looks great but also lasts for many years.

Precision and Customization

The digital imaging and CAD/CAM technology used in CEREC ensure that your restoration is designed with precision. This allows for a perfect fit and a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. The customization process ensures that your crown or other restoration matches the color and shape of your surrounding teeth, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your smile.

Comfort

Since CEREC restorations are completed in one visit, there’s no need for temporary crowns, which can sometimes be uncomfortable. Additionally, the entire process is done with minimal invasiveness, reducing the discomfort that can be associated with traditional crown placements.

Long-Lasting Results

CEREC restorations are known for their durability and strength. With proper care, they can last as long as traditional crowns, providing you with a reliable and long-lasting solution for your dental needs.

Who is a Candidate for Single Visit CEREC?

Single Visit CEREC is an excellent option for many patients who need a dental restoration. Some common reasons you might need a CEREC restoration include:

• Damaged or Decayed Teeth: If you have a tooth that is damaged, cracked, or decayed, a CEREC crown can restore its strength and appearance in just one visit.
• Old or Worn-Out Restorations: If you have older crowns or fillings that need to be replaced, CEREC provides a quick and effective solution.
• Cosmetic Improvements: CEREC can also be used to improve the appearance of your teeth by providing a custom crown or veneer that enhances your smile.
• Busy Schedule: If you have a hectic schedule and find it difficult to commit to multiple dental appointments, Single Visit CEREC offers a convenient alternative.

During your consultation at Timberline Family Dentistry, we will assess your specific needs and determine if Single Visit CEREC is the right option for you.

The Single Visit CEREC Process at Timberline Family Dentistry

At Timberline Family Dentistry, we strive to make your experience with Single Visit CEREC as smooth and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

Consultation and Examination

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation and examination. Our dental team will assess the condition of your tooth and discuss your treatment options. If CEREC is the recommended solution, we will explain the process in detail and answer any questions you may have.

Digital Imaging and Design

Next, we will take a digital scan of your tooth using advanced imaging technology. This scan allows us to create a precise 3D model of your tooth, which is used to design your custom restoration. You’ll have the opportunity to see the design on the computer screen before we proceed with the milling process.

Milling and Placement

Once the design is complete, the CEREC machine will mill your restoration from a block of high-quality ceramic. This process typically takes only a few minutes. After the restoration is milled, we will polish it and check the fit to ensure it’s perfect. Finally, the restoration is bonded to your tooth, restoring its function and appearance immediately.

Aftercare and Maintenance

After your CEREC restoration is placed, our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of your new restoration. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and visit our office regularly for check-ups and cleanings to keep your smile healthy and beautiful.
