Introducing
CERECĀ® Same-Day Crowns
in Santa Ana, CA
Let’s face it, most of us donāt have perfect teeth. Many people have dental crowns or fillings to repair cavities or tooth decay. Often, these fillings are made of metal and can weaken over time, causing additional decay. In fact, millions of metal fillings will need to be replaced in the next decade. Fortunately, at Smooth Dental in Santa Ana, we use CERECĀ® Same-Day Crowns to replace old fillings and restore teeth that are decayed, weakened, or broken. By using tooth-colored ceramic materials, we can complete this entire process in just one appointment, giving you a long-lasting, natural-looking solution.
Because Your Dentist Values YOUR Time
1. Exam & Preparation
First, Dr. Tran will examine your tooth to determine the best treatment option. Whether it’s a simple filling or a full dental crown, Dr. Tran will choose the right solution based on how much healthy tooth structure remains. After administering an anesthetic, she will carefully prepare your tooth by removing any decayed or weakened tissue. Therefore, this step is key to ensuring your new crown dental fits securely and functions properly.
2. Optical Impression
Next, Dr. Tran will take a digital impression of the prepared tooth using advanced CERECĀ® technology. Instead of traditional, uncomfortable impression trays, this method uses a non-toxic, tasteless powder to create a precise 3D digital image of your tooth. Because this process only takes a minute or two, it ensures a quicker and more comfortable experience for you.
3. No Temporaries
Once the digital impression is complete, Dr. Tran will use the CERECĀ® 3D software to design your custom dental crown. After the design is finalized, the data is sent to our in-office milling machine, which crafts your new crown dental from a high-quality ceramic block. In about 10-20 minutes, your restoration will be ready. Afterward, Dr. Tran will ensure it fits perfectly, polish it, and bond it securely to your toothāall in a single visit. This means no temporary crown or second appointment is needed!
