Old Bridge CEREC – Same Day Crowns
In our office, most patients who come in with a broken tooth don’t leave without a completed smile!
Our Old Bridge CEREC computer generated crowns are created chair-side in a process that used to take days or weeks and was accomplished off-site. Now we can:
- prepare the tooth
- pour the crown
- create the crown on the computer
- use a milling unit to produce the crown
- give it a custom stain and glaze chair-side
Within two hours, you walk out with a new tooth!
Old Bridge Dental® Quality Stands the Test of Time
Dr. Griggs started with CEREC two generations ago. He was the first dentist in New Jersey to bring this technology to the area, and has been using it for over 15 years now.
Over those years, the materials have improved significantly. Porcelains are now stronger than ever, and they are even stronger today than a metal crown. They look more natural, are functional, and fit great. Typically they are also covered by dental insurance.
Dr. Griggs’ early experience in dental lab technology has always ensured he was never out of his comfort zone creating teeth chair-side.
Before CEREC, a patient who needed a crown would have to walk out with a temporary crown and come back in 2-3 weeks. In the meantime, the temporary crown might come out while eating and the patient would need to return to have it re-cemented. People with traditional crowns may have had a bad experience with eating or breaking a temporary crown.
Today we don’t have those worries.
