If you’ve ever had a dental crown, you know the routine. Diagnosis, impressions, temporary crown, second appointment, final crown. At Livonia Dental Group, we’ve discovered a better way. Now our patients can receive dental crowns – porcelain restorations that repair and protect teeth – in just one visit. We use CEREC to design and mill custom crowns at our Livonia practice, in about an hour.

The Three C’s of CEREC

Comfort

Dental impressions – goopy, sticky, smelly. Everybody hates them. Traditional crowns require not only a messy dental impression, but also a temporary crown, which can break free or break off while you’re waiting for your final crown. Say goodbye to all of that. With CEREC, we take a digital impression – a touchless scan that’s as simple as taking a photograph. There’s no temporary crown, and because the dentist creates the crown in the office, he can ensure a comfortable fit. (more…)
