A damaged or missing tooth can affect more than your smile. It can change how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. The good news? Modern dentistry has made repairs faster and more comfortable than ever. At Your Time Dental in Gibsonton and Lithia, Florida, Dr. Rick Kernagis and Dr. Jennifer Wynn Kernagis use CEREC technology to restore dental health quickly—often in just one appointment. Patients across the South Tampa area rely on this advanced approach to get back to their daily lives without delay.
What Can CEREC Do for You?
Your Time Dental provides CEREC technology that crafts precise, same-day crowns and restorations that transform your smile in one comfortable visit
When you hear “crowns” and “bridges,” you might picture major dental emergencies. But these restorations do far more than repair serious damage. They protect teeth after a large filling, strengthen a tooth weakened by decay, and replace missing teeth to keep your bite aligned.
Everyday situations call for crowns and bridges too. A cracked tooth from biting something hard, worn enamel from years of grinding, or an old filling that’s starting to fail—each of these can be treated with a custom restoration. CEREC lets us handle all of it with precision, giving you results that look natural and feel comfortable.
Why Choose Your Time Dental?
Two things set our CEREC care apart: convenience and speed.
Convenience. With CEREC, we craft your crowns and bridges right here in our office. There’s no need to send impressions to an outside lab and wait for them to come back. Everything happens under one roof, using digital scanning and in-house milling. That means fewer steps for you and a smoother experience from start to finish.
Speed. Because we make your restoration on-site, we can also do it fast—so fast that we can have you completely fixed up in a single day. No return appointments. No temporary crowns. No awkward in-between weeks where your dental work sits half-finished. You walk in with a problem and walk out with a solution.
Our Same-Day CEREC Process: What to Expect
Curious about how it all works? Here’s a look at your visit:
- Exam and consultation. Dr. Kernagis or Dr. Wynn Kernagis examines your tooth and talks through your treatment. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we begin.
- Digital scan. Instead of messy molds, we use a small camera to capture a detailed 3D image of your tooth. It’s quick, comfortable, and highly accurate.
- Custom design. Using that scan, we design your crown or bridge on-screen, shaping it to match your natural teeth and bite.
- In-office milling. Our CEREC machine mills your restoration from a solid block of durable, tooth-colored material—right while you wait.
- Placement. We fit and bond your new restoration, then check that everything feels just right. You leave with a fully restored smile the same day.
The entire process is designed around your comfort and your time. That’s the whole idea behind Your Time Dental.
