Restorations in a Single Visit with CEREC Crowns from Dr. Bobby J. Carmen

April 7, 2014

Shutterstock Explaining ImplantsCEREC technology (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) offers an entirely new – and considerably more convenient – way of meeting our patients’ needs, producing flawless dental crowns in less time than ever before. Dr. Bobby J. Carmen and his team in Norman, OK deliver only the latest in dental technology to our patients, ensuring continued oral health and wellness for the future with CEREC one-day crowns.

CEREC One-Day Crowns in Norman, OK

Typically, receiving an essential restoration like a dental crown requires multiple visits to your dentist, putting a strain on your already busy schedule. First, you have to have an impression of your tooth or teeth made, a process that may involve the use of messy, uncomfortable impression materials. Then your measurements are sent off to a separate lab facility where a crown will be made over the course of a few weeks or more. The crown is sent back to your dentist, where you’ll attend another appointment to have the restoration placed. In the meantime, you may wear a temporary crown that requires you to alter your diet to avoid losing or damaging it.

At the office of Dr. Carmen in Norman, OK, we believe that this process is antiquated and inconvenient at best, as well as uncomfortable and often more expensive for the patient. Our practice has opted for a more modern approach to restorative dentistry, choosing instead to utilize the revolutionary technology of CEREC one-day crowns. In the span of about one hour, our CEREC machine produces beautifully customized, lifelike, and durable crowns that can be fabricated and permanently placed in just one visit. Though you may enter our office with a considerable dental problem, we’ll make sure you leave with a complete smile that’s as healthy as it is radiant.

Whether it’s needed due to decay or an injury, having a crown placed is a common staple of dental care that countless patients have experienced over the years. However, the process can be a major inconvenience, especially if you have a tight schedule – one appointment for preparation and the placement of clunky temporary crown, and then a second appointment for the permanent crown to be placed. In the meantime, your temporary crown might even break or come loose, resulting in another impromptu trip to your local dental office.  Dr. Bobby Carmen and his staff in Norman, OK have experienced first-hand how vexing and inconvenient this process can be – that’s why they provide CEREC crowns for damaged smiles of all shapes and sizes!

Dr. Carmen Places Crowns in One Visit with CEREC

Crowns protect vulnerable teeth from further damage. That means the sooner you can have a one placed, the better. But traditionally, crown placement has taken at least two visits, sometimes more if your temporary crown becomes cracked or broken.

That’s why our Norman office is proud to offer CEREC all-porcelain crowns. Made from durable materials, CEREC crowns can be milled in about an hour and placed in the same visit, meaning you don’t have to worry about a temporary crown—you can leave our office with your new smile that same day.
