Even slightly damaged teeth can cause a tremendous amount of sensitivity, irritation, and in some cases, chronic excruciating pain. However, good dentists can often avoid an extraction if the interior and roots of a tooth (or several teeth) are in good condition. A dental crown or bridge can be designed, created, and fitted to correct the problem.
Dr. Anton Conklin and our team at We Fix Smiles use CEREC technology to design, print, and place dental crowns and bridges in hours. This means that in only one visit to our Portland, OR office, your smile will be completely restored and functional rather than waiting days or weeks for a crown to be printed at an off-site dental lab! CEREC milling technology is the future of dental crowns and bridges, and the future has arrived in Portland, OR.
A CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) milling machine is a cutting-edge technical device that produces a lifelike tooth cap. With the use of CAD/CAM technology and a patient’s digital bite impression, this technology combines the capabilities of a camera, computer, and 3D printer to create a fully tailored crown or bridge that can be manufactured and placed in less than an hour.
Incorporating cutting-edge 3D imaging software with CEREC technology creates an extremely detailed representation of a patient’s oral arch, crucial for creating perfect restorations during implant treatments. The end result is a spectacular smile restoration that can be completed from start to finish in a matter of hours after a patient begins the procedure.
Candidates for CEREC dental crowns and bridges typically include individuals with damaged or decayed teeth needing restoration or those seeking cosmetic enhancements. These candidates should have enough healthy tooth structures to securely support the crown or bridge. A dental evaluation by Dr. Conklin to determine candidacy is essential, as he will assess the specific dental issue, its severity, and the suitability of CEREC technology.
If you value immediate restoration and the convenience of completing your crown or bridge in a single visit rather than waiting for an extended period, CEREC technology allows just that! With the precision and aesthetic benefits CEREC technology provides, your crowns and dental bridges are not only created in just a single visit; they are designed to fit perfectly in your mouth with a flawless finish that compliments your facial structure.
Along with significant training in CEREC technology, Dr. Anton Conklin and the team at We Fix Smiles have years of experience in implantology (link to: Full Mouth Dental Implants) and cosmetic dentistry (link to: Your Smile Makeover). Using our in-house CEREC technology, we provide quality, customized, same-day dental crowns. We can complete treatments quickly and effectively while restoring a patient’s teeth to full functionality – all in just one visit to our Portland, OR, location.
As with any procedure, the first step is a conversation. We’ll begin with a consultation with Dr. Conklin to discuss your dental concerns and aesthetic aspirations. We will take a digital bite impression and images with a CBCT scanner during the consultation. The impressions and digital images will print and install a crown or dental bridge over a broken tooth, securing it with a permanent dental adhesive.
Compared to conventional dental crowns and dental bridges, CEREC allows procedures to be completed quickly and affordably while maintaining flawless smile aesthetics. It used to take weeks and multiple appointments for an off-site dental lab to produce a tooth crown, but at We Fix Smiles, a crown or dental bridge can be produced on-site in minutes. The entire process for a CEREC crown at our Portland, OR, office takes a little over an hour. The cost of a dental bridge or crown using CEREC milling technology can vary greatly depending on your circumstances.
The price of this restorative dentistry operation depends on the material utilized and the number of teeth replaced. However, no matter your financial situation, We Fix Smiles is committed to helping patients find a suitable payment or financing option. To ensure you get the dental care you deserve!
