Let’s be honest \u2013 nobody likes going to the dentist. Fear of a procedure, as well as its cost, definitely reinforces this behavior. But often, the time required to come to the office to complete the procedure is the most critical factor. Yet we all want healthy and beautiful smiles. So, are there ways to value people’s time and still deliver fantastic care? You bet!!<\/p>\n
We have gone full steam ahead into digital dentistry, specifically the concept of crowns in one visit.\u00a0 It\u2019s a technology called CEREC.\u00a0 Prior to this, you needed at least two appointments to get a quality crown, which included a mouthful of gooey-tasting material and wearing a plastic temporary for a few weeks.\u00a0 It was two visits if you were lucky enough not to have the temporary fall off, and the permanent crown fit well enough.\u00a0 These days are history.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re now able to scan your mouth with a high-definition camera and create a custom, beautiful crown right away. The fit is exceptional, the bite is spot-on, and the look is far superior to that of metal-based crowns.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been doing these for over a year, and I can honestly say that it is one of the best things to happen to dentistry.\u00a0 I know what you\u2019re thinking. \u201cYeah, doc, but how much more are you gonna charge me?\u201d\u00a0 Not one penny more. In fact, our costs to our patients have even dropped because we rarely have to perform an additional, costly procedure called a buildup. With the old way, we would often have to do a filling on the tooth before putting on the crown. CEREC is so accurate that the humps and bumps of the tooth are filled in and bonded to create an even stronger tooth restoration. So, what are you waiting for? Time is running out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
