Same day dentistry means finishing your treatment in one visit rather than several. At Genuine Care Dental in Saratoga, CA, the clearest example is the CEREC same-day crown, which we design and make on site, so many patients need fewer appointments.
Traditional crowns can involve a temporary crown and a return visit. With CEREC, the process stays in one place:
You skip the temporary crown, and you do not have to plan around a second appointment. Because the visit is longer than a routine one, we make sure you are comfortable, and numbing is used as needed. Ask us whether a same-day crown suits your tooth, since your dentist will check the tooth first.
Not every tooth is a match for a same-day crown, and we will tell you honestly. If your tooth needs a different approach, we explain it and plan it together. Since the visit runs longer than a checkup, you may like to bring a book or enjoy a show on the screens.
Read more about dental crowns, or see how we repair teeth in our restorative dentistry care. Some other repairs, like a filling, can also be finished in a single visit.
When treatment fits into one visit, the space you sit in matters even more. 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 who make and place your crown right here, from start to finish.
While your crown is made, catch a show, pour a coffee, and settle under an anxiety blanket with a calming aroma. A neck pillow, lip balm, dark sunglasses, and free phone chargers are all on hand.
“Too often I see patients go into an office and they're just seen as a set of teeth with no person behind them. I want to know not only what our patients need, but also what they want, in terms of their health, their looks, and how they feel.”
– Dr. Rong, owner
“I absolutely would recommend Genuine Care, and I have already done so many times.”

“Dr. Rong was very patient. He carefully explained the treatment, so I feel very confident and comfortable.”
