Same Day Crowns
Traditionally, getting a crown required multiple visits, but advancements in single-day dentistry now allow for faster, more efficient treatment. CEREC crowns, created using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), enable dentists to craft 1hour crowns on-site, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and follow-up appointments. This modern approach ensures a precise fit and a natural look, providing both durability and convenience for patients seeking quick and effective dental restoration.
