Ever wondered how dental crowns are made? did you wish there was a way to make less visits to get them done? Well look no more! We are here to offer you a single day dental crown. We are super excited about our New Futuristic high tech machine that’s just arrived at out our dental clinic in Melbourne. One word, CEREC. It stands for Ceramic Reconstruction.
It’s a machine that creates dental Crowns and Veneers without the old school process which involved you being extremely uncomfortable. above all it was so time consuming. It’s a machine that allows your dentist to scan the area which is in need of some tender love and care. We will be using a powder free lightweight camera that does full 3D jaw scans. This little camera also allows our dentist to determine the colour of your teeth .Above all the scan is a fantastic tool for colour analysis.
CEREC perfects the correct shade for your new porcelain dental crown/veneer. These scans produce 3D imaging using the CEREC software on the computer where your dentist then designs your new crown or veneer. The next process is where you get to watch the magic unfold on site. Our grinding and milling machine precisely shapes and fully contours the the ceramic block. Ceramic block can be Zirconia , E-max or any full ceramic material that is inserted to create the perfect tooth.
The machine communicates with the software and only takes between 4 – 12 minutes to create. This means a single visit to the dentist! Yay! The next machine to follow is the CEREC Speed Fire which sinters and glazes. It’s the quickest furnace currently out and has speedy heating cycles. It sinters a crown in 10 – 15 minutes. The process basically involves heating up the material just below melting point. It's sort of like a little oven that we bake the tooth in to make it stronger and harder. The new crown will be just like the real tooth. Once we have a dental prosthesis, we then place and fit this on you tooth. Instant Smile makeover.
We’re glad you asked. Gone are the days of several injections, or a temporary prosthesis . Then you had to put up with it until an off site laboratory sent it back to your Dentist. Which means follow up appointments. The durability of the materials and the method CEREC offers are built to last. The ceramic material is similar to gold in terms of its strength. It means a longer lasting prosthesis. Did we mention this process only takes one hour!! Need we say more.
