Transform your restorative dental experience by eliminating the traditional multi-week waiting period for permanent tooth repair. By utilizing CEREC® CAD/CAM technology, our office provides high-strength ceramic crowns that are designed, fabricated, and permanently bonded in a single appointment.

Modern dentistry should accommodate the demanding schedules of our High Desert community. Traditional crown procedures typically require messy putty impressions, uncomfortable temporary caps, and a secondary visit weeks later. Our practice uses Intraoral Scanning to create a precise three-dimensional map of your mouth, eliminating the need for physical molds. This digital data is processed by our chairside milling unit to carve a custom restoration from a solid block of high-grade porcelain while you wait. Dr. Katherine Tsap integrates this high-efficiency methodology to ensure every patient receives a restoration that matches the exact shade and contour of their natural teeth without the logistical burden of multiple office visits.

I was worried about taking time off work for multiple appointments, but seeing my new crown created right in the office was fascinating. Walking out of the Victorville practice with a permanent, perfect tooth in under two hours changed how I view dental care.

The Precision of CAD/CAM Technology

Digital Radiography and CAD/CAM software allow for a level of structural accuracy that manual laboratory processes simply cannot replicate. Because the restoration is designed digitally, we can achieve a marginal fit precise to the micron, significantly reducing the risk of future decay under the crown. This titanium-strength ceramic material is bio-compatible and wears similarly to natural enamel, providing a long-term solution for cracked or heavily decayed teeth. By keeping the entire fabrication process in-house, we maintain absolute quality control over the final aesthetic result, ensuring your smile remains both functional and beautiful.

Common Questions About Same-Day Crowns

• Is a same-day crown as strong as a regular one? Yes, these restorations use high-quality ceramic blocks that are just as durable as those made in a lab. They are designed to withstand the same biting forces as your natural teeth.
• Does the procedure hurt more because it is faster? Not at all. The process is actually more comfortable because we use digital scanners instead of bulky impression trays that often cause gagging.
• Can anyone get a CEREC crown? Most patients who need a crown for a root canal or a large cavity are great candidates. We check your tooth structure during the visit to make sure this is the best fit for you.
