Need a crown? Remember the last time you had crownwork done? Customarily, it’s two or three appointments, over a few weeks time, to have a new high quality, natural looking, beautiful porcelain crown made and mounted.
 
Not any longer. The exceptional Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, whose office is in Beverly Hills, will take just a few hours to prep, produce and place a new porcelain crown for you. Using their high-tech advanced new equipment, this dental procedure is a breeze.
 
Dr. Maddahi uses the new CEREC same-day restoration system, which produces the highest quality of crowns, inlays and onlays available, within a short few-hour appointment. CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.
 
The most recent enhancements of this advanced system made it important for Dr. Maddahi to begin using it in his practice. These include the rapid speed at which it actually manufactures the replacement tooth – only a few minutes. Additionally, another important benefit is how many shades of ceramic material are available.
 
Furthermore, the state-of-the-art 3D CAD/CAM (Three Dimensional Computer-aided Design and Computer-aided Manufacturing) system uses exacting digital dental impressions that ensure the highest level of precision and efficiency, which provide exact, error-free margins, avoiding dark-lines around a crown.
 
Dr. Maddahi has a very high-level aesthetic standard to maintain, which he can now uphold with confidence. He explains, “Because you see the tooth on the computer and are sculpting that replacement tooth from that vantage point, we actually get a better fit than most lab work. The margins are perfectly sculpted.”
 
Dr. Maddahi must first determine that the dental condition is suitable for CEREC treatment. This simple procedure begins by preparing the tooth for the restoration, which will be an inlay, onlay, or full crown. As necessary, this may include the removal of any decay or weak tissue, as is done in similar dental procedures.
 
As soon as the tooth or teeth are prepared, a digital optical impression is taken. With CEREC there’s no goop in a tray. This is an image of the tooth and mouth taken by a specialized digital camera and takes only moments.
 
This digital impression is then sent to the CEREC 3D software, and is translated for the dentist into a virtual 3D model of the tooth. Using this advanced 3D model, the tooth is designed by the dentist. Within a few minutes the restoration design is transferred to the milling machine, located right in the office.
 
The restoration is then sculpted by the mill and the tooth, onlay or crown is ready in 10 to 20 minutes, utilizing a ceramic block that matches the tooth shade. At that time the all-ceramic, beautiful, natural restoration is complete.
 
Once Dr. Maddahi ensures that the restoration is a perfect fit, and has the correct bite, it will be polished and bonded in place. CEREC is a proven, high-tech dentistry advancement. Its 20 years of proven developmental success, and millions of restorations worldwide, have proven that CEREC is the high-tech dentistry choice for many reasons.
 
Take advantage of the convenience of one visit – no temporaries, plus this beautiful and natural enamel-like material, to give you the look and feel of a real tooth.
