Croton-on-Hudson, NY Dentist, Richard M. Leiman, DDS
Provides One-Appointment Crowns with CEREC Omnicam
Our office provides
one-appointment crowns with CEREC Omnicam, the most advanced intraoral scanning
device in dentistry.
The old standard for
creating a crown for a tooth restoration involves uncomfortable impressions and
waiting weeks for a dental laboratory to create the crown; in our dental
practice, this is no longer the case. Dr. Leiman uses CEREC Omnicam, advanced
technology that allows the creation of crowns during your appointment time.
CEREC, which stands
for Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic, is an in-office set
of equipment that scans your tooth and creates a ceramic crown within fifteen
minutes. This allows patients to walk out of our office with a brand-new crown
in about an hour. There are no messy and uncomfortable impressions that need to
be taken; the CEREC Omnicam takes a 3D photo of the area. After the tooth is
reshaped for the crown, a high resolution camera captures the image.
This information is
sent wirelessly to the CEREC mill which shapes the crown from a solid piece of
ceramic. CEREC technology mills a completely customized crown that is strong
and will look just like your natural teeth. Patients no longer have to wait weeks
for a laboratory to create the crown. This also means that patients will no
longer need to wear temporary crowns.
When the milling
process is complete, Dr. Leiman will place the brand-new crown. It is cemented
in permanently for a strong and durable tooth restoration. Crowns can last for
up to fifteen years with good care. They need to be taken care of just like a normal
tooth, but do not require any special treatment. With a good oral hygiene
routine and regular visit to your dentist, the crown should stay strong and
healthy for a long time.
If you have a
decayed or weakened tooth, it needs to be rebuilt again so it can continue a
long life. Our office provides patients with a newly restored tooth in one
appointment. To schedule an appointment with Richard M. Leiman, DDS in his
