There are several different types of restorations that are used today in most dental practices. Many are made of porcelain or ceramic, materials that are strong, durable, and natural-looking. At LaserDentalAssociates.com, we provide a variety of repair options for our patients which may include:
- Porcelain veneers
- Inlays and onlays
- Dental crowns
- Dental bridges
In most cases, these restorations are made in a dental laboratory sometimes hundreds of miles away using molds of the natural teeth. However, this means the process from start to finish can take a few weeks. This includes fabrication, mailing time to the dental office, and several appointments for the patients to return to have their restorations bonded in place. Thankfully, the staff of LaserDentalAssociates.com offers same-day restorations with CEREC.
What is CEREC restoration? CEREC uses CAD/CAM technology to create instant digital impressions of the smile and mill out restorations right in the dental office within minutes. This eliminates the need for messy impressions and unwanted wait time until the restorations come in from the dental laboratory. By saving patients both time and money, our practice is already light years ahead of many competitors.
CEREC restorations are just as strong and beautiful as those from a dental laboratory. We use in-house ceramic blocks for milling out these restorations. If there are any changes that need to be made, they can be done immediately without hesitation. This also saves time for our patients in the event of an error when the restoration is received from the laboratory. We are proud to invest in products and services that are fast, efficient, and take care of our patients without wasting their time and energy. Reducing the amount of appointments to place a dental restoration is just one way we stand out from other dental practices in the area.
