Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati Cosmetic Dentist
Hardin Advanced Dentistry is one of the few dental practices in the greater Cincinnati area to offer CEREC one-visit crowns. “CEREC” stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic,” and is a high-tech way to manufacture high-quality, metal-free restorations, performed right at our office.
CEREC eliminates the need for messy impressions, temporary crowns and the need to have several appointments. CEREC metal-free crowns are made and placed in just one visit—you can even watch the entire process from your dental chair.
If you are interested in finding out more about how CEREC can create long-lasting, natural-looking restorations, please contact Hardin Advanced Dentistry at (513) 216-2935 to schedule a consultation.
WHAT IS CEREC?
This groundbreaking technology eliminates the need for impressions to be sent off to a separate lab and places the crown-milling process in the hands of the skilled cosmetic dentists at our practice. Dr. Tara Hardin has received extensive training in the CEREC milling process and has seen the results on hundreds of patients.
There are multiple benefits to our Cincinnati CEREC crowns over traditional, lab-made crowns.
CEREC crowns:
- Are made in just one visit
- Do not involve messy impressions or temporary restorations
- Use metal-free, all-ceramic materials for your safety
- Use precise color-matching technology
- Do not have dark gray lines at the base like traditional crowns
- Use digital imaging technology for increased precision
- Are strong, beautiful crowns backed by decades of research
RESTORATIONS THAT LOOK AND FUNCTION LIKE NATURAL TEETH: CEREC
The CEREC system is one of the most advanced in the industry, using 3D photography and CAD/CAM technology to create a metal-free restoration. The tooth restoration is created while you wait, without requiring a gooey impression that is then sent to a professional lab. The precision with which the impressions are crafted makes it possible to create a crown or inlay with a perfect color match, shape and size, while you wait.
Crafted from biocompatible, metal-free ceramic materials, the tooth restoration is strong and stable. Once placed, it looks and functions exactly like a natural, healthy tooth. Contact us today and schedule a consultation for arguably the best CEREC Cincinnati has to offer.
CEREC INLAYS, ONLAYS, AND BRIDGES
For our patients who need to restore a single tooth, enhance the appearance of a tooth damaged by chipping, cracking, or discoloration, or require a bridge, the CEREC system makes it all possible in just one appointment. Rather than being forced to have a temporary fixture while waiting for a lab to finish creating your restoration, it happens while you wait in comfort in our state-of-the-art, spa-like practice, enjoying TV or music, and resting in our memory foam dental chairs.
We have gone above and beyond in establishing a practice built around patient experience. Our cosmetic dentistry techniques, procedures, and technologies were chosen to help our patients achieve a healthy, natural-looking smile—no matter what problem needs to be resolved.
SHOULD I GET
A CEREC CROWN?
If you are living with a cracked tooth, an old crown that needs to be retreated, or damaged teeth, a CEREC restoration could be the right answer for you. Patients who currently have metal fillings often want to have these fillings removed, as they are unsightly, and some have concerns about mercury. Replacing older dental work with CEREC restorations makes it possible to restore a brilliant smile, free from the dark, unattractive appearance of metal fillings or the visible metal bases to our Cincinnati same-day crowns that show when you smile.
With CEREC technology, we can craft inlays placed within a tooth, or onlays, which function like a partial crown, as a more conservative treatment than full crowns. This allows for less of your natural tooth to be removed. Your dentist will discuss all of the options available to you during your consultation at our state-of-the-art facility.
WATCH THE
MAGIC HAPPEN
At Hardin Advanced Dentistry, we have garnered a reputation for our excellent dental work and our commitment to patient care and comfort. As a dental practice, we have chosen to make our office “patient-centric” in every way possible, so it feels like you are visiting a spa, rather than spending time at the dentist. With modern technological advances in dentistry and our dedication to using the most modern techniques, there is no reason to dread a dental appointment—we have done all we can to make every visit a pleasure.
If you need a dental restoration, we may advise you to take advantage of our one-day restorations and the high-tech advantages of CEREC, whether you need a crown, need to replace older dental work, or need a partial crown. Every treatment is customized for the patient, as the dental arts are not a one-size-fits-all industry. Dr. Tara Hardin is in the top one percent of dental practitioners in education and training, and she takes her art very seriously. You can expect top quality dental care and a crown, inlay, or bridge that lasts for years into the future, with a perfect color match.
