Say goodbye to traditional metal crowns…Say Hello to Same Day Cerec E.Max porcelain crowns
Why do you need a crown?
There are many reasons why you need a crown. The most common are: broken or cracked tooth, large cavity, root canal, and replacing old mercury fillings called amalgam.
What is the best crown material?
Choice of crown material is important. The material needs to not only be strong, but also needs to look good. The best choice is Ivoclar E.Max which combines high strength, durability and esthetics.
What is CEREC®?
CEREC® is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Translated, it means that Dr. Bin Hoang can restore damaged teeth in a single appointment using a high-quality ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth.
What does this mean for the patient?
A tooth-colored restoration means no more silver fillings discoloring smiles. The filling is natural-looking, compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. Dr. Hoang no longer need to create temporaries or take messy impressions and send them to a lab. Because of this, the traditional second visit has been eliminated. The CEREC® has over a decade of clinical research and documentation to support the technology. The restorations have been proven precise, safe and effective.
