The saying “time is money” is true now more than ever. Taking time out of your work schedule or home life to come to the dentist can be difficult. Investing in the latest technology and advances in dentistry allows us to be more efficient and cut down on the amount of appointments needed. A traditional crown takes at least two visits, one to create the temporary and one for the placement of the permanent crown approximately 2 to 3 weeks later. Cerec technology allows us to prepare the tooth and create the final, permanent crown in one visit and takes only about an hour. The result is beautiful, strong and fast.
This is a 58 year old patient with an old silver filling that she has had for 30 years or so that has a cavity and is broken on the front of the tooth. She came to Dr. Patel for help and hoped he could not only fix her tooth, but make it look better as well. Dr. Patel removed the old silver filling and decay and a beautiful new restoration was made in exactly one hour. See our latest creation below. For more information on Cerec, click on this link.
