McAllen, TX -- (SBWire) -- 05/11/2015 --Xpress Dental Clinic is one of the dental treatment centers in McAllen TX that offers single-visit tooth restorations using the CEREC® technology. CEREC stands for chairside, economical, restorations, esthetics and ceramic. It was said to be the number one solution for people who want to restore their failing teeth. But, since the procedure of CEREC® can be done in a single appointment with the best dentist in McAllen TX, Dr. John Tan, teeth restoration has never been as easy as before.
CEREC® is considered to be an advanced dental restorative system that is utilized by many dentists around the world since 1987. It does not only replace the fillings but, restores the tooth that was decayed, weakened, broken etc. to return the tooth back to its formal glory. In addition to this, it removes the defective amalgam fillings. And with the advancement in the technology today, CEREC® is made even more desirable with its all-ceramic, tooth-colored materials that can be done in a single appointment.
Before the patient undergoes the process, the dentist will examine the tooth in order to determine the best treatment that includes simple filling or a full crown, depending on the condition of the root structure. Afterwards, the dentist will prepare the patient for the process by administering anesthesia and removal of decayed and weakened tooth tissues that can be found in the mouth. This method is important as this is the precursor process to the tooth restoration.
After doing the necessary procedures, the dentist will do the optical impression by coating the tooth with a powder that is non-toxic and tasteless. A camera is then used in order to capture a digital picture of the tooth which makes this process take only a minute or two. With the digital picture that was conveyed to the CEREC® machine, the dentist will then create the restoration of the tooth through the digital picture that was converted into a 3D virtual model in the computer screen. Once the design is done, the dentist will click the button to send the restoration design data to the milling machine that is also in the office.
In creating a tooth that will be used for the restoration, a ceramic block that matches the patient's tooth color is placed on the milling machine. The process of creating an all-ceramic tooth takes only 10 to 20 minutes, and once it is finished, this is bonded in place. The dentist will try the restoration tooth in the mouth of the patient to ensure excellent fit and bite. And afterwards, this is polished and bonded to the tooth prepared. With this process, temporaries will not be needed since the CEREC technology made teeth restoration fast and easy. Thus, patients do not have to make a return trip for the tooth restoration.
Consequently, taking care of the dental health does not have to be difficult when there are treatments that ensure people nothing but the finest and fast results. With the increasing number of dental clinics sprouting here and fro, it is best to scrutinize first the services offered by the dentists and determine whether it is really important or not since the overall oral health depends on it.
