Vancouver Dentists: One Appointment Crowns

One of the most exciting breakthroughs in modern dentistry is the miraculous CEREC technology, and patients who have seen what it can do are thrilled with it. But it is what you do not see that is important... no more mercury fillings. With CEREC restorations, your smile stays beautiful and natural-looking.

What is CEREC and how does it work?
CEREC (CERamic RECon-struction) is a brand name for a sophisticated technology that has revolutionized fine dentistry. It involves using CAD/CAM software (Computer Aided Design / Computer Aided Manufacture) to produce precise, color-matched restorations that can be fitted immediately.

What about a full or partial crown?
After we prepare your tooth, the computer's infrared camera relays the exact specifications to the computer. We can do a small restoration the size of the small silver mercury fillings or we can restore the entire tooth with a full crown. The dental professional then designs - right before your eyes - a precise restoration to fit your tooth.

Dentists love it. Patients love it. Here's why:

Convenience - No more gooey impressions, no need to wear a temporary for two weeks which means no need to come back for a second visit. Using the CEREC, we can have you on your way with your new smile in just one visit.

Precision - The computer technology is so advanced that it is precisely measured to fit your tooth. A safe and conservative alternative to grinding down teeth for crowns.

Durability - Because the restorations are so precise, they actually bond to tooth structure, and make the tooth stronger, as opposed to mercury fillings which are pliable and have a tendency to leak.

Beauty - CEREC smiles are beautiful smiles. Say goodbye to metal mouth. These natural colored restorations are indistinguishable from real teeth leaving you with a bright, natural-looking smile. From now on, your smile doesnt need to advertise your dental history how many restorations you have is our little secret.

So if you are interested in getting a restoration that nobody will know you have, or if you want a mercury-to-ceramic overhaul, come to Pacific Centre Dental Group and trust your smile to the experts.
