Dental treatments have gotten a lot more comfortable and convenient as new technologies have been created. One of these new technologies is conveniently available at your Frisco and Prosper Dentist’s offices: CEREC^® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics). CEREC combines the best of digital and analog to create a new porcelain crown the same day you come in for an appointment. No need to wait until we send off a mold of your teeth to a lab, in fact, you don’t even need a mold taken at all, because CEREC will scan, map, mill, and complete the creation of your new crown. At Wildflower Dental & Orthodontics, we believe in giving our patients the most rewarding dental experience, and adding CEREC to our in-house technologies enhances your smile and satisfaction!

Benefits of CEREC®

There are many benefits to having your crown created and placed at Wildflower Dental & Orthodontics:

• No time consuming and messy impressions
• No uncomfortable temporary crowns while waiting for your new crown to come in from the lab for remote fabrication
• Ultra-precise digital imaging
• Natural-looking results in a single easy appointment
• Saves you a lot of time

How Does CEREC® Work?

CEREC uses a special 3D camera to take detailed images of your mouth and teeth, taking away the need for uncomfortable impressions. The camera will send the images to the computer for a digital rendering of the tooth needing to be replaced & replicated. The computer will then give that image to the mill machine for creation, using the exact specifications from the virtual model. The mill works quickly and accurately, meticulously crafting your new crown from porcelain. Once your crown has been milled, it will be ready for placement!
