What if we told you we could restore a tooth in just a single visit? In most cases receiving a dental crown or similar restoration requires at least two visits, as well as a period of wearing a temporary crown. However, our office employs CEREC technology to offer this same service in just one visit. To find out more try our CEREC crown quiz.

A 3D model of the tooth is created to design the restoration. We upload this model into the CEREC machine to fabricate your new dental crown.
