CEREC crowns in Greenwood

In some instances, restoration of a damaged tooth or teeth is best provided by a dental crown. Typically, this process includes two or more visits to the dentist and several hours out of your schedule. Since 1985, CEREC has provided a time-saving solution to busy patients who would rather avoid the lengthy fittings, impressions, temporary crown and multiple visits; who would prefer to complete the process in a single visit. Using this technology, Dr. Harty and Dr. Wilson give patients the ability to obtain necessary treatment in a way that does not significantly impede their busy lifestyle.

CEREC is an acronym for an advanced system of dental restorations.

• Chair-side: Crowns, inlays, onlays and other dental restorations are fabricated using an in-office machine while the patient sits comfortably in the chair.
• Economical: CEREC crowns are economical for both dentist and patient.
• Restorations: Crowns created using CEREC technology restore your tooth to its natural beauty, function, and strength.
• Esthetic: CEREC crowns mimic the characteristics of natural enamel, providing a naturally beautiful smile.
• Ceramic: High-strength ceramics close in composition to natural tooth structure are used for a long lasting restoration.

With CEREC, you can have a single tooth restored or have several teeth treated at once – all in a single visit. This convenient method of restoration is also healthy. In the past, the main options for the repair of damaged or decayed teeth relied on materials such as amalgam, gold or other metals. CEREC uses durable tooth colored ceramic to give a damaged tooth the strength it needs for proper function. Due to the white color, the patient receives the restoration of a naturally beautiful smile.

More than aesthetics, ceramic lays the foundation for a healthy restoration through the similarity to natural teeth. With this material, the rate of expansion and contraction is almost equal to that of your natural teeth. Metal and amalgam, as you may know, expands and contracts to a higher degree. This characteristic of ceramic means that you can eat hot or cold foods without the worry that the restoration will expand and contract disproportionately and thus result in a crack.

CEREC technology is skillfully used by Dr. Harty and Dr. Wilson to produce single tooth restorations or to repair multiple teeth in one visit. Your smile is your first impression to those you meet. With CEREC, you can feel better about your smile immediately.
