A New Crown in One Visit with CEREC

In the past, when a patient needed help restoring a broken or decayed tooth, there was only one option: a conventional crown. Treatment with a conventional crown takes two appointments. In the first appointment, the doctor makes an impression of the tooth, designs the crown, and then puts a temporary crown in place. At the second appointment, the temporary crown is switched out for a permanent one milled by a dental lab.

Of course, with this method, there was always the risk of that temporary crown falling out or becoming damaged, requiring an extra visit between appointments. Today, however, technology has made the entire process more convenient.

At Dr. Scurti’s Verona dental office, patients can get a custom-made crown in a single appointment, all thanks to our CEREC milling machine.

Here’s how the process works.

First, Dr. Scurti will assess your needs, scan your tooth, and design your new crown with CEREC’s advanced software. Our goal is always to create a crown that blends in with existing teeth and complements the patient’s appearance.

Once the design for your crown is finished, we’ll send that information to the CEREC unit, which will mill your restorative piece from high quality porcelain while you relax in our office. When it’s ready, Dr. Scurti will double-check the fit and attach it, completing what used to be a multi-appointment procedure in a single visit.

Do you need restorative care? Dr. Scurti can help with a custom-made CEREC crown. Call our Verona office to schedule an appointment. Verona Dental Arts offers restorative care to patients from West Orange, Livingston, Clifton, and other communities around New Jersey.

CEREC One-Visit Crowns

What should you do when a tooth becomes broken or dislodged? Call Verona Dental Arts for restorative help from Dr. Michael Scurti. During a single appointment, his Verona dental team can provide the help you need with a revolutionary CEREC one-visit crown.

Normally, repairing a tooth with a crown takes at least two appointments to complete. But with CEREC, a completely customized crown can milled right in Dr. Scurti’s Verona dental office and then attached immediately afterward.

That means no waiting in between visits with a temporary crown. Instead, you can leave your first and only appointment with a highly accurate, natural-looking restoration that restores your oral health and appearance.

How Does CEREC Work?

Here’s what you can expect from care with CEREC. First, skilled restorative dentist Dr. Scurti will scan the injured area with the CEREC software. Then, that information, and the design for your new crown, will be transferred to the CEREC machine, which will begin milling your restoration while you wait comfortably in our Verona dental office. Once it’s ready, all that’s left is for Dr. Scurti to attach your crown, completing your procedure.
