Same Day Crowns (CEREC®)

Getting a crown does not have to be a lengthy affair. With CEREC® technology at Anderson & Zentz Dental, patients get a crown in a single visit as opposed to multiple visits separated by weeks. As the dental leader in Kennewick, this top-of-the-line technology allows a damaged tooth to be prepared and a porcelain crown created and placed right in the office. Gone are the days of waiting for a laboratory to build your crown. You can walk out of the office in one day with a permanent crown that looks and feels like a real tooth.

How It Works
CEREC® has two components, an acquisition unit and milling machine. The acquisition unit includes a medical-grade computer and the CEREC® camera. A digital image is taken of the prepared tooth, which is then fed into software that converts it into a three dimensional model. The team then designs the restoration right on the screen. The design is wirelessly sent to a milling machine. The team will then insert a ceramic block matching the color of the tooth and the final product is carved using specialized burs and afterward, fired in a ceramic furnace. This part of the process takes between 30 and 40 minutes. The crown is then placed on the tooth and you are on your way.

This procedure is optimal for the busy professional who expects the highest quality dental work.
