Dental crowns are needed after several different procedures in restorative dentistry. For example, crowns are placed after root canal therapies or when a cracked tooth is repaired. They are used to seal, protect, and fortify teeth that have been restored or simply need some extra strength. Getting a crown placed used to require two separate appointments, but now can be done in just one visit to our expert in same day crowns in Los Angeles.
Quicker treatment is possible due to CEREC technology. CEREC stands for Ceramic Reconstruction, and is used to make high quality dental restorations in a short amount of time using 3D and CAD/CAM technology. Our cosmetic dentist in Hollywood will take a picture of your prepared tooth, which will be uploaded as a 3D digital model. The CEREC system can use this to mill a perfect crown, inlay, onlay, or bridge while you wait comfortably in the dentist’s chair. This system produces consistently accurate and high quality restorations, allowing you to be in and out of the dentist’s office in less than two hours. This method is not only faster, it also often costs less.
