Getting a dental crown typically means more than one appointment and wearing a temporary restoration while a dental lab creates the final crown. CEREC® technology can make the process much quicker for the right tooth.
At The Center for High Tech Dentistry in New York, New York, we believe your dental care should fit your busy schedule. That is why Dr. Kaveh Abedini and our team provide state-of-the-art CEREC same-day crowns and bridges when an all-ceramic restoration is a good fit. We can restore your damaged tooth in a single visit to our Upper East Side office.
What are CEREC same-day crowns?
CEREC crowns are custom ceramic restorations we design, mill, and place in our office during a single appointment.
Instead of a traditional putty impression, we can take a digital scan of your teeth and use that information to design your crown. Our in-office CEREC milling machine then creates the restoration while you’re still here.
Because we can scan, design, and mill in-office, we can often complete an appropriate CEREC crown in one appointment without waiting for a dental lab to make the final restoration.
Who is a good candidate for same-day crowns?
Not every tooth is a good fit for a same-day CEREC crown. In some situations, another material or a lab-made restoration may give you a better result. We’ll look closely at the tooth, your bite, and your overall dental needs before recommending the best option. If a lab-made crown is the better choice, we can take a digital or traditional impression and have a dental laboratory create the final restoration.
What can you expect during your visit?
You can expect a comfortable, streamlined experience that respects your time.
First, we prepare your tooth and take a quick digital scan. While you relax in our office, our milling machine crafts your custom restoration. Once it’s ready, we check the fit and your bite, then secure the crown so you can leave the same day with your finished restoration.
The process is designed for your ultimate comfort. Modern digital imaging eliminates the need for messy, uncomfortable tray impressions. Our advanced milling technology precisely carves your crown from a solid ceramic block, producing a natural-looking restoration that matches your surrounding teeth seamlessly. By eliminating temporary crowns and follow-up visits, you save valuable time while receiving high-quality dental care.
We also offer related cosmetic treatments, such as custom veneers, to help you achieve your ideal smile.
You do not have to put your life on hold for a beautiful, healthy smile. If you need a dental restoration, contact our team today to schedule a visit at our New York, New York office.
