What can you do in an hour and a half? Stream a couple episodes of your favorite TV show, sweat through your morning gym session, and… get a dental crown? It’s true. CEREC crowns in Jonesboro are completed in just one visit to your dentist’s office. How does same-day dentistry work? And how do CEREC and traditional crowns compare? Let’s take a closer look at what you can expect from a one-visit crown from Dr. Yarnell.
The Chairside Economic Restorations of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC) offers the best in dental restorations. This cutting-edge technology relies on computerized processes for designing and milling perfect fitting restorations. The main set-apart feature of CEREC is that each dental restoration piece is made out of a single porcelain block, which makes it extremely durable. This also makes the restoration better able to withstand flaws or cracks when biting or chewing, complimenting the function of a natural tooth.
In October of every year, I travel with a team of medical professionals and volunteers from Arkansas to North Central Guatemala. This year was the thirteenth year for me to serve and the third year for my dental hygienist, Ashlee, to attend. Our medical and dental clinics are held in villages in the mountains surrounding the city of Salama, Guatemala. We worked in two different villages this year, Pacala and San Vicente, neither of which we had previously served. These villages are very rural and primitive. We had four and a half days of clinic during our time there. Our goal was to share the gospel with these villages, as well as meet their physical needs through our clinics. The ultimate goal is to help start a church and reach their community and meet the spiritual needs of the people. It is a privilege and with passion that I look forward to continuing to serve the people of Guatemala for years to come. (more…)
