Crowns/In-lays/On-lays
(Utilizing the advanced Cerec technology)
Crowns are used to cover, protect, seal and strengthen a tooth. A crown is needed when a filling is not capable of working. A crown fits over the entire top of the tooth. In most cases, Dr. Breiner will use a non-metal crown made of either porcelain or indirect composite. The specific material chosen will be based on strength, biocompatibility, and esthetics. In addition to crowns, Dr. Breiner is highly skilled with performing In-lays and On-lays. To assist with these procedures, Whole-Body Dentistry employs the most advance technology in the industry – the Cerec ceramic dental restoration system. The Cerec is a cutting-edge computer and robotic milling system.
CEREC is the world's only system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. With CEREC, you can be in and out in a single visit with a permanent, all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer! For you, the patient, this means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care.
Most dental restorative methods require more than one visit to the dentist. This means that on the first visit, a temporary restoration is put on your tooth. You make a second appointment for a couple of weeks later, get another injection, have the temporary pried off (if it hasn't fallen off already), and have a permanent restoration put on. With CEREC, the procedure is done in a single appointment, start to finish.
A CEREC tooth restoration isn't just convenient, it is also healthy. Many years ago, dentists had few options to repair decayed and damaged teeth other than amalgam, gold, and other metals. With CEREC, we can use strong, tooth colored ceramic materials to restore your teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function. These materials closely match the composition of natural tooth structure. This means when you eat hot food and then drink something cold, the restoration and tooth expand and contract at almost equal rates. So, your tooth does not crack, and you can go on enjoying your evening. Also, the materials are chemically bonded to your tooth, so your dentist can save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible while providing you with a dental restoration that strengthens your tooth.
At Whole-Body Dentistry, we use the CEREC for more than just crowns and fillings. CEREC is capable of producing any single tooth restoration. Chipped or discolored front teeth can be repaired with beautiful CEREC porcelain anterior crowns or veneers. Your smile makes a lasting first impression. Enhance it with CEREC.
