It\u2019s with that commitment to excellence in mind that we offer CEREC technology for same day restorations, including dental crowns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does It Work?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand how same day crowns work, it\u2019s necessary to know a little bit about traditional dental crowns. These thin, tooth-shaped coverings fit securely over the damaged tooth to strengthen and protect it from further damage. Dental crowns can perform a number of functions, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding together pieces of a broken tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restoring a tooth from decay when there is insufficient structure for a filling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completing a root canal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anchoring a dental bridge<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restoring dental implants<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental practices that haven\u2019t yet invested in CEREC technology must complete the procedure over two appointments &#8212; the first for preparing the tooth and gathering important information, and the second for placing the final crown. The time in between, two weeks on average, is necessary for the dental crown to be constructed in a far-away lab. That\u2019s where the beauty of CEREC lies: it\u2019s a chair-side milling machine that allows Dr. Cofer to prepare for, create and place your crown, all in just one visit to Premier Family Dental!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fit you with your one-visit crown, Dr. Cofer will take digital impressions of your mouth and feed your information into the CEREC machine, which mills your restoration out of a single block of porcelain &#8212; and in just about an hour, your new dental crown is ready! Dr. Cofer will check to make sure it fits, feels and looks just like it should &#8212; and you get the final say before it\u2019s securely bonded on. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of CEREC in Waco TX<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you choose a dental office that uses CEREC technology, you\u2019re benefitting from the latest advancements in dentistry. But the benefits of the CEREC go beyond that. Some include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CEREC relies on digital impressions, which are far more accurate and comfortable than traditional impressions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CEREC eliminates risk for miscommunication between the dental practice and the lab<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies show CEREC crowns last longer<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased Efficiency and Improved Results with CEREC<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want a better-fitting crown, faster?
