SINGLE-VISIT EFFICIENCY
Why Choose CEREC Same-Day Restorations?
One Single Appointment
Skip the second visit and additional local anesthesia. Walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out two hours later with a permanent, fully functional crown.
Digital 3D Scan Precision
No messy, gag-inducing tray impressions. Our high-resolution optical camera captures precise 3D measurements of your teeth in seconds.
High-Strength, Metal-Free Ceramic
Milled from solid blocks of bio-compatible porcelain that match the translucency, durability, and shade of your natural surrounding enamel.
TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON
CEREC vs. Traditional Dental Crowns
Click a feature below to see how CEREC same-day technology streamlines your care:
1 Visit vs. 2–3 Weeks of Waiting
Traditional crowns require an initial shaping appointment, a two-week lab manufacturing wait, and a second numbing visit for delivery. CEREC condenses everything into a single 90 to 120-minute appointment.
- CEREC: 1 visit (Approx. 2 hours total).
- Traditional: 2 separate appointments spaced 14 days apart.
- Saved Time: Zero off-work downtime for follow-up deliveries.
Comfortable Digital Scans vs. Putty Trays
Traditional crown impressions rely on heavy silicone paste held in your mouth for several minutes. CEREC utilizes a lightweight intraoral wand to capture thousands of 3D data points in seconds.
- CEREC: Fast, 100% digital intraoral camera scan.
- Traditional: Uncomfortable goo trays that can induce gagging.
- Precision: Micron-accurate digital margins for an exact seal.
No Risky Temporary Acrylic Crowns
With traditional crowns, you must wear a fragile plastic temporary crown for two weeks while avoiding hard foods. Temporaries frequently break or dislodge, requiring emergency office visits.
- CEREC: Zero temporary crowns required.
- Traditional: High risk of temporary crown dislodgement or sensitivity.
- Peace of Mind: Eat, chew, and brush normally immediately after your visit.
100% Metal-Free Aesthetic Ceramics
Older crowns often contain metal bases that leave dark grey lines near the gumline over time. CEREC uses high-translucency ceramic blocks shade-matched precisely to your surrounding enamel.
- Biocompatible Ceramic: Expands and contracts like natural tooth structure.
- No Dark Margins: Completely metal-free for long-term gum aesthetics.
- Custom Staining: Hand-finished and diamond-polished in-office.
HOW IT WORKS
Your Same-Day Crown Process
01
Preparation & Digital Scan
Dr. Sabbahi gently prepares the compromised tooth to remove decay, then sweeps a small intraoral scanner over the area to generate a 3D model.
02
3D CAD/CAM Design
Using advanced software, Dr. Sabbahi custom-designs your crown’s contours, cusps, and contact points on screen while you relax.
03
In-Office Milling & Glazing
Our high-precision milling unit carves your custom crown out of a solid ceramic block in about 15 minutes, followed by custom shade glazing.
04
Permanent Bonding
The finished porcelain crown is checked for fit, polished, and permanently bonded in place. You leave with your fully restored smile!
