Complete Your Smile in One Day

Getting restorations for damaged teeth can be a lengthy process. From the initial consultation to taking impressions and secondary visits for final fitting, the overall experience can take multiple appointments. At Dr. Thomas Toolson’s dental office, we make the process of improving your smile simpler through CEREC same-day crowns in Fairfield. With this advancement in modern dentistry, patients can come in for an appointment and leave our dental practice with a brand new smile. 

What is CEREC?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economic Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. With specific computer software, Dr. Toolson can use CEREC to design and manufacture a crown in his dental office during one appointment.

With CEREC, patients are involved in more of the treatment process; they can see detailed scanning of their smiles from the intraoral cameras and watch as Dr. Toolson designs their restoration using the computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software. As the crown is manufactured in the office, patients can watch their customized crown being milled and finished. 

The Benefits of CEREC

When compared to traditional restorations, CEREC offers a number of advantages that revolutionize the process of receiving crowns and bridges.

Additional advantages associated with CEREC^® include:

• No temporary restorations
  
• High-quality ceramic products
  
• Minimal invasiveness
  
• Less injections and discomfort
  
• Fewer dental visits
  
• Cost effectiveness
  
• More natural tooth is saved
  
• Long lasting restorations
  
• Biocompatible solutions
  

Convenience: Same-day CEREC restorations eliminates the need for multiple appointments. Thanks to the in-office manufacturing system patients can come in for a consultation and leave with a permanent restoration. As CEREC uses intraoral cameras to scan their smiles, patients don’t have to worry about uncomfortable goop used in traditional impressions, thereby ensuring a comfortable experience from start to finish.

Versatility: CEREC is not restricted to just making crowns. At Thomas E. Toolson, DDS, we use also apply CEREC’s innovative technology to create bridges, making the system flexible for a number of diverse patient needs.

Durability: When considering your restoration options, one of the most important aspects to research is longevity. For long-lasting strength and resilience, CEREC uses high-strength porcelain for crowns and bridges. Our Fairfield dental team has found E-Max restorations to be the most effective at fully restoring dental function and smile aesthetic. E-Max crowns have been shown to better withstand wear and tear caused by routine oral function.
