Dental Crowns and Bridges Treatment in Hamlin, NY

A broken, damaged, or missing tooth can impact your ability to comfortably eat and enjoy your food, not to mention affect the aesthetics of your smile. Dental crowns restore a damaged, broken, or decayed tooth with a reliable replica of your natural tooth, while a bridge offers a solution for one or more adjacent missing teeth.

Dr. Garcia can customize durable and aesthetic bridges and dental crowns in Hamlin with same-day CEREC technology. Instead of waiting weeks for a dental lab to complete a restoration, we can now complete a crown or bridge for our patients during one efficient and comfortable appointment at Hamlin Dental. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Hamlin Dental is excited to offer CEREC technology to complete restorations like dental crowns in only one appointment. This means you'll leave the same day you came in with a fully functioning, durable, and aesthetic restoration that you can start enjoying right away.  

How CEREC Works at Hamlin Dental

Dr. Garcia scans your tooth, creating a 3-D image that he uses to design your new restoration. He sends that image and his specifications to a milling machine located in our Hamlin dental office. The machine uses high-quality porcelain to mill a new tooth for your smile. 

Dr. Garcia is able to permanently place the crown as soon as it's milled and make any needed adjustments so we ensure that your bite functions correctly. This process takes about 60 to 90 minutes, and then you're off to enjoy your new tooth!

The Benefits of Same-Day Crowns

This process is streamlined and shorter than the two to three weeks patients used to have to wait for a dental lab to make their crowns. It is also more comfortable as there are no messy impressions required to create your new tooth, and no need to wear an uncomfortable temporary crown while you wait for the dental lab.

When Do I Need a Tooth Crown?

Crowns are typically ideal in these situations:

  • To restore a tooth that’s been decayed, damaged, or fractured beyond what a filling can repair
  • To rebuild and strengthen a tooth that’s had a root canal
  • To replace a large filling that’s broken down
  • To finish a single dental implant restoration
  • To cover a tooth that has cosmetic concerns

A dental crown fits comfortably over the remaining healthy structure of your compromised tooth, restoring its function, aesthetics, and strength. Dr. Garcia uses high-quality porcelain that he blends to complement your smile flawlessly so no one recognizes your dental restoration.

When Do I Need a Dental Bridge?

dental bridge is a good solution for replacing a missing tooth for someone who may not want to have implant surgery.

A bridge has two crowns on either end that attach to healthy teeth and support one or more prosthetic teeth in between to “bridge” the gap left by missing teeth. We make your bridge from high-quality porcelain that seamlessly blends into your smile.

CEREC Same-Day Restorations

CEREC, which stands for the chair-side economical restoration of esthetic ceramic, allows us to design, fabricate, and mill a complete, aesthetic, and functional restoration like a crown or bridge in one appointment at our Hamlin dental office.

Dr. Garcia will scan a 3-D image of your tooth and design your ideal restoration. Then, he’ll send his specifications directly to our milling machine that will make your new tooth or teeth while you wait. Dr. Garcia will place the crown and is then able to make any needed adjustments for optimal bite function right away so you can begin enjoying your new tooth.

We aim to streamline dental procedures, making them more efficient and comfortable for our patients. CEREC eliminates the need for messy and uncomfortable impressions and wearing a temporary crown while waiting weeks in the dental lab to complete your new smile.

CEREC Same-Day Restorations

CEREC, or chair-side economical restoration of esthetic ceramic, is modern technology that allows Dr. Garcia to design, fabricate, and place porcelain restorations, like a dental crown, in one appointment, rather than the patient waiting two to three weeks for a dental lab to make their restoration. 

CEREC also eliminates the need for messy and uncomfortable impressions of your tooth because it scans a 3-D image. Dr. Garcia uses the 3-D image to design your crown and then sends his specifications to the milling machine, which makes your restoration. There's also no need to wear a temporary crown since we'll place and adjust your restoration during the same appointment.
