One-Visit Crowns

A Perfectly Fitting Crown in One Visit

Perhaps you have been through the procedure to have a permanent crown placed in your mouth. After impressions of your teeth are made, a temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth. There is a two-week wait and another trip to the dentist to receive the permanent crown. If the fit isn't right, there are more trips to the dentist and yet more waiting time.

That was the long, drawn-out procedure before, but with the CEREC™ computerized design and milling device, today you can have a perfectly fitting crown in just one visit. No kidding! We create a durable, natural-looking crown in our own lab while you wait – with no return trips to the dentist.

The procedure begins by having a reflective powder painted on the damaged tooth. With a specialized camera, an accurate picture is taken and displayed on a screen. We design the restoration from the digital image and CEREC fabricates the crown in just minutes. This restoration is bonded to the remaining structure of the tooth and you are good to go!
