Welcome to Vista Ridge Dental, where we're committed to providing you with the latest advancements in dental care. In this digital age, dentistry has also benefited from cutting-edge technology, and one such innovation that has transformed the field is CEREC. But you might be wondering, "What is CEREC, and how does it relate to same-day crowns?" This revolutionary technology has redefined the way dental crowns are designed and created, offering patients a range of benefits that were once unimaginable.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It's a state-of-the-art dental system that allows our skilled team at Vista Ridge Dental to design, fabricate, and place custom dental crowns in a single visit. This means no more multiple appointments or uncomfortable temporary crowns. CEREC streamlines the entire process, ensuring that you walk out of our Fort Worth, TX, office with a beautiful, permanent dental crown on the same day.
CEREC technology is the key to achieving same-day crowns.
