If your smile looks a bit dull or drab, dental crowns offer the perfect combination of ease, form, and function to lift your smile. However, affording two appointments to get dental crowns can be too much to ask of your time because you are busy. But what if we told you that you could get crowns in one day in Las Vegas, Nevada? Yes, at Hillside Dental, we offer CEREC same-day crowns, saving you the hassle of back-and-forth appointments with your dentist.
When getting traditional crowns, you need at least two dental appointments. The first appointment involves:
Preparing your teeth.
Sending bite impressions to a dental lab.
Installing temporary crowns to protect your teeth.
When your crowns are ready, you need another visit for the installation of your permanent crowns.
Thanks to CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) technology, creating dental restorations has been made easy, faster, and convenient. And when it comes to crowns, CAD/CAM technology means we can make crowns in one day. When you visit our practice, Dr. Christopher Lim takes accurate digital impressions of your mouth.
Instead of uncomfortable putty biting, we use an intraoral camera to take 3-D images of your mouth.
Once this is done, we use computer-aided design to create your crowns in-house. After just a few minutes, your crowns will be ready for fitting. With same-day crowns, you walk away with a brand-new smile by the time you leave our practice.
The apparent benefit of CEREC crowns is that they cut your dental appointments from two to just one. Other advantages of these crowns include:
No use of dental putty material that is uncomfortable and bad tasting
It avoids the use of temporary crowns that put you at more risk of dental problems
CEREC restorations are natural-looking
CEREC crowns are long-lasting, just like traditional crowns
