Crowns in a Day

Nobody likes the idea of getting crowns or bridges. But at Kutsch & Renyer, we use the latest technology to provide you with the best-fitting crowns—with the least amount of hassle. And now you can even get a crown in one appointment.

Today’s technology

We’re happy to have both the technology and expertise to offer you crowns that are computer designed for precision and personally fitted by our dentists during the same visit. To do so, we use CEREC 3D, a computer-aided design/computer-aided milling instrument with 3D software from Sirona Dental Systems that makes crowns and other esthetic porcelain restorations. We take optical impressions using a 3D camera and use them to create not only sturdy, attractive crowns but also inlays, on lays, partial crowns, veneers and laminates.

Restoring your smile in just one visit

With traditional crowns and bridges, you receive a temporary restoration and then return one to two weeks later to have it replaced with a permanent, laboratory-made crown. However, the ceramic reconstruction advancements of CEREC 3D make it possible for us to create and place your crown within the time of a single standard appointment.

Ten-year studies on the CEREC material indicate it is within 1% of being as successful as gold restorations, which have the track record as being the most durable restoration we have ever used.

The best fit

There are many techniques and materials for fabricating crowns and bridges; their beauty and longevity depend upon choosing the best techniques and using the finest craftsmanship. We continually study breakthroughs in materials and techniques so that we can recommend the particular types that will best suit your needs for strength, health and incredibly natural-looking results.
