CEREC Technology
At The Village Dental Center, we employ CEREC® technology to create durable, lifelike restorations in as little as an hour. Our patients can return to their day quickly and with a long-lasting solution.
Attention to Detail
Dr. Matthew Harmon personally designs crowns using 3D software, and his design is sent to our in-office milling unit. He then spends time adding details to the crown or bridge, so it looks indistinguishable from a natural tooth or teeth and blends in with neighboring teeth.
Types of Dental Restorations
Custom Dental Crowns and Bridges in Sun City West, AZ
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that restore a tooth that has become weakened due to trauma, decay, or root canal treatment. Dr. Matthew Harmon can remove damaged or decayed tissue from your tooth, reshape the tooth to make room for the crown, and create a crown that looks great and restores function.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges replace a missing tooth or teeth. They are traditionally made up of a pontic, which is an artificial tooth that fills a gap, supported by crowned abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges can repair your smile while maintaining the shape of your face and relieving stress on your bite. We can also use implants to secure a bridge in place.
The Advantages of CEREC Restorations
Save Time: With CEREC, crowns and bridges can be made and placed on the same day in our Sun City West dental office. Because you don’t have to wait for a dental lab, you can return to your life quickly.
Greater Comfort: Patients who need a crown or bridge are often in pain and experiencing sensitivity. With CEREC, you can receive treatment and a lasting solution quickly, meaning you can find relief sooner.
Improved Aesthetics: CEREC crowns and bridges are made of tooth-colored ceramic that mimics the appearance of tooth enamel. Your smile will not only be protected but also look entirely natural as well.
A Stronger Result: Milled ceramic is stronger than traditional dental layering and pressing, so your crown or bridge will be better protected against damage.
Creating Your Custom Restoration
“Dr. Matthew Harmon has advanced training in implants, cosmetics, and dental ceramics.”
Consultation
Dr. Matthew Harmon will first examine your teeth and review your treatment options. While some patients have dental damage that requires a bridge or crown, others may only need a durable CEREC filling.
Planning
Dr. Harmon will analyze the size and shape of your teeth, gum height, and overall dimensions to create a restoration that blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
Design
After preparing your teeth for a crown or bridge, your dentist will use the CEREC CAD/CAM technology to design your custom restoration. Since every smile is unique, Dr. Harmon takes his time to perfect the smile design.
Fabrication
Once designed, the dental crowns are sent to the mill for fabrication. This process takes only minutes to complete.
Finishing Touches
Dr. Harmon will make slight adjustments to your restoration to add details and ensure the restoration looks like natural teeth. Your restoration will be custom-shaded so it blends in with the rest of your smile.
Placement
Dr. Harmon will check the fit of your replacement teeth before securing the restoration in place with dental cement.
Replace Missing Teeth With Dental Implants and Restorations
Are you dealing with tooth loss? Instead of a traditional dental bridge, Dr. Harmon may recommend implants. Dental implants can support a crown to replace a single missing tooth or a bridge to replace a few missing teeth in a row. We can handle every step of your dental implant placement from our Sun City West dental office.
