You might cringe when you hear you need a dental crown. How will you find the time to come back for those multiple dental appointments when your schedule is already packed with meetings and appointments? But, having a dental crown procedure doesn’t have to mean scheduling several appointments.
At the office of Beverly Hills Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a dental crown can be completed in a matter of hours not days. Making it convenient for you and your busy schedule. Dr. Maddahi uses the CEREC same-day tooth restoration system to create custom dental crowns as well as dental onlays and inlays. If Dr. Maddahi determines that you need a dental crown he will begin the procedure by removing any decayed or damage tooth structure quickly and painlessly using the Waterlase MD.
When the tooth has been properly prepared an optical impression is made using a specially designed optical camera. The image of the tooth is processed by the CEREC 3D CAD/CAM system. This computer-aided design system creates a three dimensional digital image of the tooth that can easily be examined by Dr. Maddahi via computer screen. He can then design a personalized dental crown or restoration in a few minutes time, while you relax in the comfortable dental chair. Click here to see a segment from CBS 2 on the CEREC system.
When the dental crown design is complete the image is sent to the CEREC milling machine, which is located in Dr. Maddahi’s in-office dental laboratory. Using the highest-quality dental ceramic available, the crown is sculpted in as little as 10 minutes and matches the color of the patient’s teeth. The tooth-colored dental restoration is then gently placed. Dr. Maddahi tests your bite with a digital bite reorder to assure a proper fit. Then the dental crown is cement into place.
“The CEREC system is revolutionary because it allows us to create a high-quality crown in minutes. This lets our patients spend less time in the dental chair and get back to their busy lives” Dr. Maddahi explains.
