At Kenner Dental Group in Burien, Washington, we are a patient-centered practice committed to investing in the latest technologies that enable us to offer superior patient care, comfort, and results. One of the technologies that have truly transformed how we provide restorative dental care is the CEREC same-day dental restoration system.
Short for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics,” CEREC is an affordable, precise, and convenient way for patients to have dental restorations such as crowns, inlays, and onlays placed in just one visit. If you’ve ever had a traditional dental crown placed, you probably remember the lengthy, multi-visit process that involved messy putty impressions and babying a temporary crown while you waited for your permanent crown. With CEREC, you can avoid all these hassles! Using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology, we take digital impressions of your teeth that integrate with advanced computer software that enables us to plan your crown or other restoration. Then, this information is sent to the CEREC machine, where your beautiful new restoration is milled out of a block of durable, natural-looking porcelain while you catch up on email, read a good book, or take a quick nap. We then cement the restoration in place, and you are free to enjoy the rest of your day.
While there is no denying that CEREC dental restorations are convenient, they also offer many other benefits:
At Kenner Dental Group, single-visit dentistry is just one of the many factors that set us apart from other dental practices. To schedule your appointment, call us in Burien, Washington, today! You can reach our office at (206) 208-2339.
