Same Day Dental Crown Designed in Minutes

Is there such thing as having a same-day permanent crown placed? Yes, says Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, leading cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills.

He uses the latest technology in dentistry to give his patients a painless, convenient experience in having a crown placed permanently, yes on the day. Crowns no longer have to mean multiple trips to the dentist to have the problem diagnosed, then the crown mold taken to be sent to the lab to be made, a temporary placed and then another visit to have the temporary removed and the crown fitted.

Today, Dr. Maddahi installed Cerec, a same-day tooth restoration system in his Beverly Hills Dental Spa. With Cerec, he can prepare a tooth replacement in minutes. He’s able to design the inlays that lie inside the cusp tips of the tooth to repair a cavity or an onlay that covers one or more cusps of the tooth on your first visit.

CEREC 3D CAD/CAM (Three Dimensional Computer-aided Design and Computer-aided Manufacturing) system creates a 3D image. Instead of using that goopy mold paste, Dr. Maddahi prepares your tooth with a non-toxic, tasteless powder. Then he photographs the tooth and the optical impression is converted into a virtual 3D model on the computer. After just a few minutes, with the delicate, precise design work of Dr. Maddahi the data is sent to the in-office milling machine for sculpting the perfect restoration tooth. He also uses a ceramic milling block that matches the shade of your tooth for a seamless permanent replacement

After about 10 to 20 minutes, the tooth replacement is ready to fit for the correct bite, placed and polished. No temporary or second day appointment necessary. All complete in one day!
