If you need a crown because of tooth decay, damage, or imperfections, don’t schedule two separate dental appointments when you don’t have to. At Silicon Valley Smile Solutions in San Jose, California, board-certified dentist Amir HagShenas DDS, FAGD, and his expert team offer CEREC® same-day crowns to save you time and money. At the first sign of a dental problem, book an appointment with Silicon Valley Smile Solutions by phone or online today.
Same-day CEREC® crowns are often made of porcelain. They are caps that fit over your natural teeth to restore their shape, overall appearance, structure, and function.
Same-day crowns at Silicon Valley Smile Solutions use CEREC technology to digitally scan your teeth and create custom-made crowns right in the office. The procedure saves time and a second trip to the dentist.
You might require same-day crowns if you have teeth that are:
Discolored
Decayed
Misshapen
Cracked
Chipped
Too small
Worn down
Weak
Gapped
CEREC same-day crowns look and feel like beautiful, natural teeth. Dr. HagShenas and the team offer crowns after root canal therapy and with dental implant procedures. Crowns can also support dental bridges to replace missing teeth.
To find out if you require a dental crown, Dr. HagShenas reviews your medical and dental history. He evaluates your teeth and gums and uses X-rays to assess the type and severity of tooth decay or damage. For small cavities, the Silicon Valley Sile Solutions team might suggest a porcelain filling, inlay, or onlay instead of a crown.
When you arrive at Silicon Valley Smile Solutions for a CEREC same-day crown, you rest in a comfortable dental chair in a relaxing room. Dr. HagShenas numbs the treatment area and removes any tooth decay. He digitally scans your teeth so CEREC technology can create a custom dental crown.
Your crown is ready during the same appointment. When it is, he permanently bonds it to your tooth, where it can remain for a lifetime when cared for properly. There’s no downtime after getting a crown, so you can resume normal activities right away.
To take care of a new crown and your natural teeth, make sure to:
Avoid opening packages with your teeth
Don’t chew on hard objects
Brush at least twice a day
Floss every day
Call Silicon Valley Smile Solutions if your crown gets damaged or loose
Attend dental cleanings and exams with Dr. HagShenas and his team every six months, or if you experience signs of an oral health problem.
Don’t let tooth decay or damage go untreated and lead to serious complications. Book an appointment with Silicon Valley Smile Solutions by phone or book online to find out if a same-day crown is right for you.
