CEREC® Single Visit Crowns

Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eden Prairie, and Edina, Minnesota

River Bluff Dental is proud to offer our patients cutting-edge dental technology. One procedure that Dr. Walter Palmer is particularly excited about is our ability to provide patients with all-porcelain dental crowns in a single office visit.

Dr. Palmer implements the CEREC® 3 Computer-Assisted Design-Computer-Assisted Manufacture (CAD-CAM) system for the fabrication of all-porcelain dental restorations, including:

• Dental crowns
• Dental veneers
• Dental onlays or inlays
• Fillings

Advantages of CEREC

One of the main advantages of the CEREC 3 system is convenience. Most people today have hectic schedules and may not have time to return to the dentist’s office several times to complete dental restorations. The CEREC 3 system allows busy patients to enter our office with a problem tooth and leave the same day with it looking beautiful and natural.

Other advantages of CEREC 3 include:

• Fewer anesthesia injections to numb the area
• Less drilling
• No need for temporary dental crowns
• Adjustments to the permanent dental restorations can be made on-the-spot
• Precise 3-D models make River Bluff Dental an ‘impression-free” practice when a dental bridge is needed

We have a special oven on-site to allow for staining and glazing of your dental restoration. This allows our professional team to create a dental crown or other dental restoration that is an exact match to your other teeth. Our goal is to ensure that your dental restoration is impossible to tell apart from your other teeth.

Finest Dental Materials

All-porcelain ceramic dental restorations are preferred today for a number of reasons, including:

• Strong and durable
• Blend with your natural teeth

• Allow expansion and contraction like a natural tooth
• Healthy tooth tissue is preserved and strengthened

Smile Enhancement

Our in-house CEREC 3 system is available for patients who have the need for one or two porcelain dental restorations. Cases requiring more than two dental restorations, such as smile enhancement procedures or full mouth restorations, will require the involvement of an outside dental laboratory. We utilize Westland Dental Lab for the fabrication of all outside dental restorations.

At River Bluff Dental, we realize that most people do not enjoy going to the dentist, so our goal is to make your experience as comfortable and as brief as possible. CEREC 3 technology allows us to do just that.

Our office would be happy to tell you more about the CEREC 3 technology. To schedule a consultation, please contact cosmetic dentist Dr. Walter Palmer at River Bluff Dental in Minneapolis, Minnesota today.
