If a tooth is damaged or decayed to the point it cannot be supported by a filling, you will likely need a dental crown to restore its function and appearance. When patients need crowns, Dr. Jeffrey D. Clark offers the added convenience of the state-of-the-art CEREC same-day crowns at his Scottsdale office.

A crown is a custom-crafted restoration made from porcelain or other durable material placed over what remains of your natural tooth. The crown restores its size, shape, and strength, and dental cement ensures it is strong and can support biting, chewing, and other functions.

Unlike traditional crowns made at a dental lab, we place CEREC crowns in a single visit with no follow-up appointments required. One appointment includes consultation, planning, tooth preparation, and crown placement!

Why Choose a CEREC Same-Day Crown?

CEREC technology offers a revolutionary approach to dental crowns that combines convenience, precision, and aesthetics in a single visit. Whether you need to restore a damaged tooth or enhance your smile, CEREC crowns provide numerous advantages that set them apart from traditional options.

One-Visit Convenience

We design, create, and place CEREC crowns in a single appointment, saving you the time and hassle of multiple visits.

Seamless Aesthetics

Your CEREC crown mimics the natural translucency and color of your teeth and blends seamlessly with your smile.

No Temporary Crowns

You leave the office with your final crown in place, eliminating the inconvenience and discomfort of temporary solutions.

Precision Fit

CEREC technology uses digital imaging to create a customized crown that fits perfectly to enhance comfort and reduce the need for adjustments.

Comfortable Process

Advanced technology minimizes discomfort and streamlines treatment, making for a more pleasant experience.

Strong and Durable

High-quality ceramic materials withstand normal biting and chewing forces, making them a long-lasting solution.

What’s the Procedure for CEREC Same-Day Teeth in Scottsdale? The procedure for getting a CEREC crown involves the following steps:

Tooth Preparation

The first step is to clean the tooth enamel to eliminate decay and reshape the tooth so that the crown can be worn safely and comfortably.

Crown Design

Then, Dr. Clark will use CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technologies to prepare your dental crown. Using an intraoral scanner, we obtain a highly accurate, mess-free impression of your dental anatomy.

Crown Manufacture

The CEREC system uses the impression to create a 3-D CAD model of the specific tooth. Using that CAD model, the system uses CAM technology (our in-office milling unit) to create a ceramic dental crown from a single porcelain block.

The entire milling process takes only 30 minutes, and all you have to do is sit back and relax. Once the crown is completed, Dr. Clark will affix it to your tooth, and you can leave our office that day with your beautiful, natural-looking crown securely in place.

Testimonial

Dental Bridges

A fixed dental bridge is an effective way to restore a smile marred by teeth missing due to dental damage, tooth decay, and gum disease. This method fills the gap between the remaining teeth and prevents them from shifting out of position. Your custom-crafted bridge completes your smile, restores chewing function, and supports facial contours to avoid sagging and maintain a more youthful appearance.

Dental Inlays and Onlays

Getting an inlay or onlay is similar to having a crown placed. The important distinction is that an inlay or onlay requires much less of your natural tooth to be removed by drilling.

With a traditional crown, the entire tooth must be reshaped to fit inside the new covering. That makes inlays and onlays preferable since the dentist can preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. This is considered a conservative way to restore a tooth’s appearance.

D.M S

Excellent experience. I have been seeing Dr. Clark for over 23 years. Having said that my crowns have lasted as long and are still in perfect condition! He does impeccable work! He does same day crown replacement. It takes approximately 1 to 2 hours and you walk out with your new porcelain crown. Beautiful work. Office staff couldn't be more friendly either.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Clark for close to 20 years. His work is consistently outstanding, and his standards of care, skill level, and commitment to excellence as well as his concern for you as a person is amazing. Dr. Clark is fully committed to providing his patients with the very best, most up-to-date dental experience and outcome. His level of integrity and professionalism sets him apart and establishes an environment that gives you confidence. You know you are in good hands the minute you walk into the office. His office staff are easy to work with, friendly, caring, always helpful and very responsive. Whenever we have needed after hours or weekend attention, Dr. Clark has always personally called us back. His dental team is also highly skilled and they make anything from a cleaning to a crown a pleasant experience. One outstanding experience was for a very tricky crown for an implant for one of my front teeth, and Dr. Clark went way, way beyond the norm to make sure this highly visible crown had the best possible fit, color and shape. He is a superb perfectionist who puts his knowledge, expertise, and innovative thinking into everything he does, which are wonderful traits in a dentist. And, his offices are lovely…comfortable, spacious, immaculate, well appointed and the view of the McDowell mountains from every chair is an extra plus! We feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Clark all those years ago and will continue to trust him and his team with our dental needs for years to come.

I’ve had an excellent experience with Dr. Clark and his staff from day one. Everyone has been professional, friendly, and competent, always putting me at ease. Dr. Santoro, who performed my most recent procedure, was just as impressive and equally professional, personable, and skilled. I’m pleased with the results and relieved to have experienced minimal pain afterward, far better than I expected. I was honestly surprised at how little discomfort I had, needing only a couple doses of over-the-counter pain reliever. That was it. Dr. Clark’s entire staff has been consistently warm, courteous, and knowledgeable since my first visit. They take the time to communicate clearly and never make you feel rushed. I’m very grateful to have found such a trustworthy and talented team. Highly recommend!

Lisa K

Have been a patient with Dr. Jeffrey Clark for over 15 years. From cleanings to crowns he and his staff have always done great work. Highly recommend.

M S

Dr. Clarke just gave me a very natural restoration of 8 teeth by replacing decades old metal fillings. I am in absolute disbelief with how efficient his process was. The last time I had a single crown in another state, one crown took 3 weeks and 4 visits to 2 doctors. Dr. Clarke can do 1 or 2 crowns, along with fillings and partial crowns, in 3 hours in a single visit! His staff is obsessed with keeping patients safe and comfortable. He is absolutely the best!
