One-Visit Crowns

Crowns Made While You Wait
Many people are familiar with the two-week procedure to have an impression made, a temporary inserted, and the fitting and placement of a permanent crown. If the crown doesn’t fit just right, it is returned to the lab and the procedure starts all over again with yet another trip to the dentist.

As technology progresses, so does the length and procedure of treatments. In just a single visit, you can have a perfect-fitting crown that looks great and functions like a natural tooth. With CEREC™ technology, we can create a permanent crown in just a few minutes! This is a computer-aided design that can mill and produce the crown with amazing accuracy. All the waiting and return trips to the dentist are gone. The entire length of the process is only about an hour. You no longer have to go through the time and process of an impression or temporary, and it provides the aesthetics and satisfaction of a real tooth.

The restoration begins by putting a reflective powder on the tooth. With a special camera, a picture is taken and then shown on our computer screen. From this image, we design the restoration and then CEREC creates it. The new crown is bonded to the surface of the tooth and the procedure is completed. It couldn’t be easier or have a better fit! Our patients love this quick and easy way to make and fit a long-lasting crown.
