How long are you used to spending to get crown work done? The expected, customary time for a beautiful, natural looking crown is two or three appointments over a few weeks time. Right? Well, not any longer.

The outstanding Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, whose office is in Beverly Hills, will take less than an afternoon to prep, create and place a crown. Dr. Maddahi uses the new high-tech system called CEREC, which produces the highest quality of crowns, onlays and inlays available, and within a few-hour appointment!

It was the recent enhancements of this system that made it significant for Dr. Maddahi to put it into operation in his practice. The latest developments of CEREC include the speed at which it prepares the replacement tooth - only a few minutes. As an equally important new benefit are the increased choice of shades of ceramic material available. Dr. Maddahi can now uphold with confidence the high-level aesthetic work he insists upon.

In addition, this state-of-the-art 3D CAD/CAM (Three Dimensional Computer-aided Design and Computer-aided Manufacturing) system, uses digital dental impressions to ensure the highest level of efficiency and precision, providing error-free, exact margins.

"This CEREC restoration system gives beautiful, natural all-ceramic restorations - crowns, onlays and inlays.", explains Kourosh Maddahi, DDS. "Because you are sitting right there, looking at the tooth on the computer, and sculpting that 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 appropriate treatment is the CEREC. Then he begins this simple procedure. The tooth is first prepared for the restoration, either an inlay, onlay, or full crown. If needed, this will involve the removal of any decay or weak tissue, as is done in other dental procedures.

Once the tooth or teeth are prepared, a digital optical impression is taken. With CEREC there's no gummy. Then an image of the tooth and mouth is taken by a specialized digital camera, this takes only minutes.

The digital impression data is then received by the 3D software, and the CEREC system converts this data into a virtual 3D model of the tooth. Dr. Maddahi uses the 3D software to design the restoration, using this 3D model. Within a few minutes the restoration design is transferred to the milling machine, located right in the office.

This mill sculpts the replacement tooth, onlay or crown in about 10 to 20 minutes, using a ceramic block that matches the tooth shade. Then, voila!, an all-ceramic, beautiful, natural restoration is complete. As soon as Dr. Maddahi ensures that the restoration is a perfect fit, and has the correct bite, it is polished and bonded in place.

CEREC is a proven, high-tech dentistry advancement. It's 20 years of proven developmental success, and millions of restorations worldwide, have proven that CEREC is the high-tech dentistry choice for many reasons. Imagine the convenience of one visit - with no temporaries, plus the beautiful and natural enamel-like material, giving the look and feel of a real tooth.
