In the past, restorations required at least two dentist appointments because the physical impressions needed to be taken and sent to a dental lab. Dr. Palmer is proud to offer CEREC technology for same-day restorations. CEREC (which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) utilizes computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) equipment to create the restoration at our dental clinic while you wait. Palmer Dental Group of Houston utilizes the CEREC system to make custom crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays. The CEREC system can also be used for cosmetic treatments to make custom-made restorations. This revolutionary treatment permits you to sidestep the hassle and time of physical dental impressions and temporary covers. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Palmer at his office in Houston, TX to learn more about CEREC technology.
During your consultation for CEREC restorations, Dr. Palmer will develop your unique treatment plan. This treatment will require an electronic scan of your mouth to allow Dr. Palmer to design your restoration. Once this is complete, your restoration will be placed into the CEREC machine to be made. The amount of time needed to make your restoration will be based on its size. Once the restoration is created, Dr. Palmer will finish and polish the restoration before putting it in place. He will then make any necessary adjustments so that the restoration is comfortable and blends with your natural teeth.
After your restoration, you must maintain a good home oral hygiene regimen. You also should schedule annual dental exams and bi-annual cleanings at Palmer Dental Group of Houston in Houston, TX. At each appointment, Dr. Palmer will check your CEREC restoration and make any necessary repairs or alterations that will help keep your smile healthy for as long as possible. CEREC dental restorations can remain in place for several years if cared for correctly.
