Same-day dental crowns in Saratoga, CA are made right in our office using CEREC technology. A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and look. At Genuine Care Dental, we scan your tooth, design the crown on a computer, and create it on site, so you leave with your permanent crown in one visit. There is no temporary crown and no waiting weeks for a lab.
A crown is often recommended to protect a damaged tooth. Common reasons include:
A crown can also improve the look of a misshapen or discolored tooth.
Our crowns are made of porcelain or ceramic, which can be matched to the shade of your natural teeth. We talk through the options for your tooth. Sometimes a smaller repair, such as an inlay or onlay, protects a tooth without covering all of it, and we will tell you if that fits.
We numb the area first, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Your tooth may feel sensitive for a few days, which is normal. If you feel anxious, ask about sedation options. With good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, crowns can last many years. Crowns often work well with other fillings and repairs in a full treatment plan.
Traditional crowns often mean a temporary one for a few weeks, a second appointment, and a lab in between. Making the crown in our office removes those extra steps. You do not have to protect a fragile temporary or worry about it coming loose. Your permanent crown goes on in one visit, and the digital design helps us shape it to fit your bite.
Whenever we can, we help you keep your own tooth, and a crown does exactly that by covering and reinforcing what is left. We explain why we recommend it and what it will do, so you can decide with confidence. Your crown is checked at your regular visits, along with the rest of your mouth
Long procedures feel shorter in a room you like, so we built ours to feel calm from the moment you walk in. We didn't want it to feel like a dental office, so we didn't build one. Warm wood, real plants, a couch you'd actually choose to sit on, and chairs picked for comfort as much as function, all so you forget where you actually are.
Dr. Rong and Mia lead the practice with an expert team that cares about craftsmanship. While your crown is being made, settle under an anxiety blanket with a calming aroma, and add a neck pillow, lip balm, or dark sunglasses. Watch a show, charge your phone for free, and pour a coffee.
