Technology has advanced dentistry in many ways, enabling providers to offer treatment for a wider range of concerns that is more accurate and less painful. At Millennium Smiles in Frisco, TX, we have incorporated CAD/CAM technology into our office for same day dental restorations. Using CEREC, we can provide a high quality, custom dental crown during a single visit- no more temporary crowns or return trips to the dentist.
How Does CEREC Work?
CEREC is a CAD/CAM technology that uses digital imaging to plan and mill dental restorations in our Frisco dentist office. Your dentist will use the convenient and comfortable hand held device to take dental impressions that can be immediately viewed for treatment planning. This means no more messy impression trays that often make patients gag and feel uncomfortable. Your dentist can share images of how your new crown will be placed while using the CEREC software to analyze your impressions and design a custom fit and color matched restoration.
The CEREC in office milling machine uses high quality ceramic materials to craft a natural looking dental crown in minutes. Your restoration is placed, adjusted and permanently secured during the same visit- saving time, money and the need to be numbed more than once. Patients love the convenience of CEREC- and the results have proven to be as successful as those achieved with restorations made in a dental lab.
We know how busy our patients are today- work, family and daily commitments that keep everyone running around can make dental care hard to schedule. At Millennium Smiles, we can help you repair a damaged or cracked tooth, replace a lost dental crown or strengthen a tooth that has received a root canal with CEREC. You will leave our office with a comfortable, completely functional and permanent dental crown or partial crown without having to come back again for your final restoration.
