Same-Day Dental Crowns With CEREC in Los Gatos, CA
A cracked or worn tooth has a way of taking over your week. You chew on one side, avoid cold drinks, and wonder how many appointments it will take to fix. At Rahimi Dental Group, we offer dental crowns with CEREC so you can restore that tooth in a single visit. There are no messy impressions, no temporary crown to protect, and no second trip back to our office. Here is what you can expect when you choose CEREC Same-Day Crowns in Los Gatos, CA.
What Are Dental Crowns With CEREC?
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. Crowns restore strength, shape, and appearance after a fracture, a large filling, a root canal, or heavy wear. Traditionally, getting a crown meant two appointments and a few weeks in a temporary while an outside lab made your restoration.
CEREC changes that. This digital system lets us scan, design, and mill your crown right here in our office. Dental crowns with CEREC are made from durable ceramic that is shaded to blend with your natural teeth, so your smile looks like you, only healthier.
5 Reasons Patients Choose Dental Crowns With CEREC
- One appointment. Your crown is designed, milled, and placed the same day.
- No temporary crown. You skip the fragile placeholder that can loosen or feel awkward.
- Comfortable digital scans. A small camera replaces the bulky impression trays many patients dislike.
- Natural-looking results. High-quality ceramic reflects light much like real enamel.
- A precise fit. Digital design helps your crown fit snugly and feel natural when you bite.
- Less time away from life. One visit means fewer hours away from work, school, and family.
What to Expect During Your CEREC Visit
- Before Treatment: We start with a conversation. Your dentist examines the tooth, takes digital X-rays, and explains whether a crown is the best option. We will answer your questions and talk through any alternatives so you feel confident in the plan.
- During Treatment: After numbing the area, we gently remove damaged tooth structure and shape the tooth to hold its new crown. Next, we capture a 3D digital scan. Your dentist designs the crown on screen, and our in-office milling unit carves it from a solid ceramic block. Once we check the fit, color, and bite, your crown is polished and bonded into place.
- After Treatment: You leave with a finished restoration. Some mild tenderness is normal for a day or two. Brush, floss, and keep up with regular cleanings, and your crown can serve you well for many years.
