New Technology at PDC- CEREC SpeedFire
All-new technology at Pearl Dental Care is the CEREC SpeedFire oven. Why are we so excited about this machine? It allows for the fabrication of super strong Zirconia crowns in one office visit. Zirconia crowns are the strongest tooth colored all-ceramic crowns on the market. Previously, these types of crowns could only be made by an outside dental lab. After scanning your tooth with the 3D scanner, the crown is milled with our CAD/CAM machine. Zirconia needs a final sintering so the crown is then placed in the SpeedFire oven for 10-15 minutes. Here are some of the advantages of single visit Zirconia restorations-
- Minimally invasive- less of your tooth needs to be drilled
- Incredibly strong for molar crowns
- No gooey impression material
- No temporary crown
