  Restoration Creation — After taking your digital impressions, we will create your new tooth filling, dental crown or veneers using our in-office CEREC milling machine. Your new dental restoration is then finalized in our in-house lab to match exactly the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. Our patients are always pleased with the appearance!! Once the restoration is finished, your doctor will bond it into place. This does not take long, meaning you can leave our office with your work completed that day! No more waiting weeks for the lab. CEREC allows you to have a beautiful, durable restoration in just one day.
• Crowns
  Crowns are one of our most common, reliable restorations available. CEREC technology allows us to offer beautiful, strong, custom-made same day crowns in just one visit to our office. Traditional crowns often require at least two visits to the dental office – but we can do it in just one! Read on to learn more about CEREC technology and how it can help you get the strong, beautiful restoration you need.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Crowns are specially designed pieces of porcelain (or other material) that are used to restore damaged teeth. You may need a crown if you have a tooth that is severely damaged or decayed, if you have had a root canal recently, if you have a large filling that is failing, or to treat cosmetic issues. Ask your dentist if a crown is the best solution for your particular issue.
