Fredericksburg Dentist -One Visit Crowns

Fredericksburg dentist Jason T. Lipscomb talks about One Visit Cerec crowns. http://www.fredericksburgdentist.com.
This is a recent case I worked on in mid June. I used Cerec technology to create a crown and deliver it in the same visit. The patient did not need a temporary, an impression, or a second visit. A normal crown usually takes up to three weeks to get back from the lab. A normal crown may even require the tooth to be numbed at the second visit to deliver the crown. Cerec crowns shouldn't be used for every crown, but they can be handy. Here is a tooth I treated a couple of weeks ago. The tooth has a visible crack and a large filling.











I prepared the tooth for the crown.










We spray a reflective powder on the tooth and take a picture of the tooth. The pictures of the preparation then render a 3-D model on which we design the crown.










The crown is made while the patient waits (aprox. 15 minutes). Then we deliver the crown and the patient is ready to go.






The patient has undergone all of the treatment in one appointment. No impression. No temporary. No need to be numbed again.

I heard that dental crowns are useful especially when it comes to stained and broken tooth problems. I think maybe I need a Crown and Bridge Specialist. Thanks for the info.
