What Happens During Your Same-Day Crown Appointment with CEREC Technology?

Dentist Colorado Springs

When arriving at Vibrant Laser Dentistry for a same-day crown appointment, patients are welcomed into a state-of-the-art facility designed to enhance comfort and efficiency. The innovative CEREC technology allows for a seamless process, refining the experience in a way that traditional methods cannot. Understanding each step of this appointment helps demystify the process and ensures patients are well-prepared for their visit.

The first step in the appointment involves an initial consultation with Dr. Nichole Anderson. During this time, she will assess the affected tooth and explain the need for a crown, if necessary. Patients can expect a thorough discussion about the procedure and its benefits.

Next, digital impressions of the tooth are taken using an advanced intraoral scanner. This modern method eliminates the need for messy traditional molds, instead creating a highly accurate 3D image of the tooth and surrounding area. This precise data is critical for ensuring a perfect fit for the crown, and it is immediately sent to the CEREC milling machine.

After the digital impressions are obtained, the tooth is prepared for the crown. This preparation often includes removing any decay and shaping the tooth to accommodate the new restoration. Patients will receive local anesthesia during this process to ensure comfort throughout.

Once the tooth is prepared, the next exciting step is witnessing the CEREC milling machine craft the crown in real time. The machine utilizes the digital impressions to create a custom-made crown from a solid block of ceramic material, tailored specifically for the patient’s needs. This cutting-edge technology allows for the crown to be completed and placed within a matter of hours, making it a true same-day service.

After the crown is carefully crafted, it is polished and finished to ensure optimum aesthetics and functionality. The dental team will test the crown for fit and bite before placing it on the prepared tooth permanently. The seamless integration of the crown is designed for durability and natural appearance, allowing patients to leave with a smile on the same day.

Vibrant Laser Dentistry prides itself on providing an exceptional patient experience, with many satisfied customers noting the efficiency and quality of care received.

“My visit to Vibrant Laser was constructive and informative. Ashley was an excellent hygienist. She explained the steps in the cleaning process and the condition of my teeth and gums. Dr. Rikli’s examination was right on target. He identified an issue and made recommendations so I could speak constructively with my previous provider. In less then 24 hours, I initiated a positive plan with the provider and feel confident the issue is going to be resolved. I know where to get help if it need it. I also appreciated Samantha’s prompt follow through, sending x-rays to my previous provider supporting Dr. Rikli’s conclusion.  I was very impressed with the teamwork exhibited at Vibrant. Thank you and I will be back in 6 months.”

“I am currently having an implant done. I had one done at a prior office and the experience here is noticeably better. The staff are very informative and incredibly knowledgeable. I have not had any problems or discomfort that I had at the prior office. Dr. Anderson is extremely talented and I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing dental care. The follow-up to procedures also lets you know that they truly care about your dental health.”

“Dr. Anderson is a compassionate, kind, and gentle dentist. In addition, I have been blessed to have Oleta as my hygienist from the very beginning!”

“When my daughter was born, she struggled with a weak and inconsistent latch, had difficulty transferring milk, and exhibited signs of a tongue tie, including lip blisters, reflux, and clicking while feeding. She also experienced full-body tension that made car rides unbearable. Dr. Anderson carefully listened to my concerns, conducted a thorough examination, and diagnosed both a tongue and lip tie, recommending a WaterLase release. She explained the procedure, reassured us throughout, and provided detailed aftercare instructions, ensuring my daughter’s comfort and successful healing. Immediately after the procedure, my daughter’s latch improved, her reflux lessened, and her discomfort eased. Over time, her feeding became more efficient, her muscle strength improved, and she was able to gain the weight she needed to thrive. Dr. Anderson’s support before, during, and after the release was invaluable, and her genuine care for my daughter’s well-being made an immeasurable difference in our lives, for which I will always be grateful.”

“Dr. Anderson is the absolute best! I have received Botox from places in the past but it never seemed to work for very long or at all. After seeing Dr. Anderson for Botox I can never go anywhere else! Truly amazing the difference she has made in how I feel about myself. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel heard no matter what. I am very lucky to have found such a caring and great dentist!”

“Prior to NightLase and NaseLase, I was an occasional mouth breather, clencher/grinder, and there were nights I’d wake up several times. Once receiving my first session, the results were instant, I was able to get the deepest sleep I’ve had in years. I have not mouth-breathed or grinded since. It’s been so incredible being able to sleep in peace!”

“Six years ago, choosing a new Dentist for our family of four was a very important decision. Clearly, This practice’s entire staff take great pride in their work. At every stage, they have always been professional and conscientious for me and my family.”
