We are proud to provide the Palmyra Macedon area with CEREC, a wonderful new technology that allows us to provide you with a new crown in only 1 visit. The CEREC is a computerized CAD/CAM machine that replaced the goop used to make traditional crowns. Also, there is no longer the inconvience of temporary crowns coming loose or second appointments to retrun for the final crown.
In this economy, wouldn't you rather take only 1 day off work than two? Easy answer, right? Read below for more information of the CEREC - 1 Visit Crown machine.
How does it work?
First, the tooth is prepared in the traditional fashion. Then, instead of using goop to take a mold of your mouth, the CEREC steps in. A 
camera is used to take a picture of your teeth and bite and the CEREC machine converts these images into a virtual mold of your teeth.
From this virtual mold, one of our Doctors then designs a crown 
that is custom fit to your tooth. This provides a superior fit to a crown fabricated in the traditional way.
After the crown is designed it is sent to a milling machine which creates the crown out of a solid block of porcelain.
After about 5 minutes your crown is ready to be cemented onto your tooth permanently. Giving you a new white tooth in as little as an hour.
