CEREC Dentistry in Kahului, Maui HI
Offering Same-Day Dental Crowns in Kahului, Paia, Wailuku, and acorss Maui
Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC) is a restorative dentistry tool that makes a crown, veneer, inlay or onlay in less than an hour -- a practice that used to take weeks. At Dr. Lance Ogata’s dental office, Kahului, Paia, Wailuku, and other Maui patients in need of restorative dental care can now get same-day crown treatment. Dr. Ogata invested in CEREC technology for his dentist office as a means to reduce waiting times and enhance patient's smiles faster than ever before.
In the past, getting a crown or dental restoration in Kahului, Paia, Wailuku, and across Maui usually meant coming in for at least two or three visits. First, Dr. Ogata would need to take an impression of your tooth and send it off to a dental lab. Then, you would need to return for a second visit days later so Dr. Ogata can place the crown. Thanks to CEREC technology, that’s no longer the case. Now, patients in Kahului and across Maui can have their custom crown designed, made, and placed in just one visit - often in the time it takes to grab a long lunch.
How Does CEREC Work?
The CEREC machine makes Dr. Ogata's dental office a one-stop shop for dental restorations such as same-day crown in Kahului and across Maui.
Step 1: Digital Scan
Instead of making impression of your teeth which sometimes involves messy material, we now use a small handheld camera to take a digital scan of your tooth. This gives us a highly accurate 3D image so we can see exactly what needs to be done.
Step 2: Custom Design
With the scan complete, we use CEREC software to design your crown. The goal is to make sure it looks and feels just like your natural tooth, so it fits comfortably and blends in with your smile.
Step 3: Making the Crown
Once the design is ready, we send it to the milling machine right in our dental office. It carves your new crown from a solid block of high quality ceramic, right here while you wait. Dr. Ogata can even further customize the restoration by painting and polishing the restoration so it matches your teeth. The process takes less than 30 minutes! Instead of having the crown made in a dental lab, now you can have your crown made right here at Dr. Ogata's Kakului dental clinic.
Step 4: Final Placement
Dr. Ogata checks the fit carefully and make any adjustments needed. When everything looks and feels right, we securely bond the crown in place. You leave with a tooth that looks great and works just like it should.
With CEREC, we can eliminate the wait, allowing patients to get same-day dental crowns with a beautiful smile in just one appointment!
