CEREC® Same-Day Crowns
in La Habra, CA
Let’s face it, very few of us have perfect teeth, free of decay and fillings. You might have a filling or two in your mouth, which fill cavities left from removing decayed tooth structure. Often, these fillings are metal and can deteriorate, weaken the tooth, or get additional decay around them. In fact, 1.2 billion metal fillings will need to be replaced in the next 10 years. CEREC® is a method used by thousands of dentists since 1987 to replace these fillings and restore any tooth that is decayed, weakened, or broken to its natural strength and beauty. Better yet, it’s done with tooth-colored ceramic materials in a single appointment!
At Smooth Dental in La Habra, CA, our CEREC® Same-Day Crowns provide efficient solutions for repairing and replacing missing or damaged teeth. CEREC® crowns are crafted and placed in a single appointment, saving you time and hassle. These crowns cover and fortify weakened teeth, while bridges seamlessly fill the spaces left by missing teeth, ensuring your smile remains complete and functional. With CEREC® Same-Day Crowns, you can enjoy restored dental health, improved chewing and speaking abilities, and reduced risks of complications like shifting teeth or TMJ disorders.
Because Your Dentist Values YOUR Time
1. Exam & Preparation
First, Dr. Tran examines the tooth and determines the appropriate treatment. It could be a simple filling or a full crown, depending on how much healthy tooth structure remains. After administering an anesthetic, Dr. Tran prepares your tooth by removing decayed and weakened tissue, similar to other restorative techniques.
2. Optical Impression
Next, Dr. Tran takes an Optical Impression of the prepared tooth. Instead of using traditional impression materials, the tooth is coated with a non-toxic, tasteless powder, and a digital picture is taken. This process takes only a minute or two.
3. No Temporaries
The CEREC® machine then helps Dr. Tran create the restoration. The CEREC® 3D software converts the digital picture into a 3D virtual model. Dr. Tran designs the restoration on the computer, and within a few minutes, the design data is sent to a milling machine in the office. A ceramic block matching your tooth shade is placed in the milling machine. About 10-20 minutes later, your all-ceramic, tooth-colored restoration is finished and ready to bond. Dr. Tran ensures proper fit and bite, then polishes and bonds the restoration to the prepared tooth. Your tooth is restored with no temporary or return trip necessary—all in a single appointment!

About
The CEREC®
Machine & Procedure
What is CEREC®? CEREC® is an acronym…
Chairside: The technology is in the dental operatory and used while you are in the chair
Economical: The procedure is economical for both dentist and patient
Restorations: The procedure restores your tooth to its natural beauty, function, and strength
of Esthetic: The restorations are metal-free and tooth-colored
Ceramic: High-strength ceramics are used that are close in composition to your natural tooth structure.
…for an advanced dental restorative system that allows your dentist to restore decayed teeth, place crowns, remove defective amalgam fillings, or place cosmetic veneers in just one appointment. This allows you to have the highest quality, most lifelike dental restorations in just one visit to the dentist…in, out, and on with your busy life. The state of the art CEREC® system was developed in 1985 at the University of Zurich in Switzerland by a dentist, Dr. Werner H. Moermann, and an electrical engineer, Dr. Markus Brandistini. Today, CEREC® 3 with CEREC® 3D software is still the world’s only chair side dental CAD/CAM restorative system. At the heart of the system is the innovative technology.

Technology Of The Future... Today!
The CEREC Acquisition Unit at Smooth Dental in La Habra, CA, is mobile and equipped with a medical-grade computer and CEREC camera. Dr. Tran uses this camera to take a digital picture of your prepared tooth, replacing the need for traditional impressions and eliminating the discomfort of impression trays. The computer, using CEREC® 3D software, converts this picture into a 3D virtual model of your tooth. Dr. Tran then designs your restoration on-screen while you watch. This software helps create crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. Once designed, the data is wirelessly sent to the CEREC® Milling Unit for fabrication.

Placement for CEREC® Same-Day Crown
Placing a CEREC® dental crown is a streamlined process that can be completed in just one visit. During your appointment, the tooth is prepared by removing any damaged or decayed portions. Next, a digital impression of your tooth is taken using advanced CEREC® technology. This digital impression is used to design and fabricate your custom crown right in our office, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions and temporary crowns. Once your crown is milled, it is carefully checked for fit, color, and bite alignment before being permanently bonded to your tooth, restoring its strength and appearance in a single appointment.
MORE ABOUT
Are CEREC® Same-Day Crowns Permanent?
Similar to dental implants and dentures, CEREC® dental crowns and bridges are not prone to decay like natural teeth. However, maintaining proper care is essential for their longevity. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits are vital to ensure your crown or bridge remains in optimal condition. With diligent care, CEREC® crowns and bridges can last up to 15 years or more. Although they are resistant to decay, they can still sustain damage such as chipping or cracking. If any damage occurs, it’s important to contact Smooth Dental promptly for evaluation and potential replacement to maintain your oral health and smile aesthetics.
