At Orland Dental Studio, we believe that restoring a damaged tooth should not disrupt your busy life. In the past, getting a dental crown required at least two separate appointments spaced weeks apart, while an outside lab fabricated the restoration. With our advanced CEREC (chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics) technology, we bring the lab directly to you. This cutting-edge system combines 3D digital imaging, highly precise design software, and an in-office milling machine to create a permanent, custom-crafted ceramic crown in just a single visit.
Benefits Of Completing Treatment In One Visit
Our promise is that we will care for you as if you were our family, which means we deeply respect your time and want to make your care as convenient as possible. We wish more patients understood that repairing a severely damaged tooth no longer has to be a drawn-out process. Completing your crown in one visit offers several incredible advantages:
- One single appointment: You never have to take multiple days off work or arrange extra childcare.
- No temporary crowns: You completely avoid wearing fragile, uncomfortable temporary crowns that frequently fall off or cause sensitivity.
- Immediate protection: Your tooth is fully protected, sealed, and restored to its full strength before you even leave our office.
- A stress-free experience: We can quickly resolve painful dental emergencies with immediate, permanent solutions.
Digital Impressions Without Traditional Molds
We believe that good dentistry involves clinical excellence and providing comfort during a stressful time in the life of a patient. You can’t have good dentistry without both of these factors. Traditional impression putty is notorious for being messy, foul-tasting, and triggering an uncomfortable gag reflex. We skip the putty entirely. Instead, Dr. Ibraahim Badat uses a sleek optical scanner to capture a highly accurate, 3D digital model of your prepared tooth in just a few seconds. This high-tech approach ensures absolute precision while keeping you deeply relaxed.
Restoring Strength & Appearance Efficiently
When your tooth is cracked, heavily decayed, or weakened from a root canal, a CEREC crown acts as a protective, custom-fitted cap that restores both its structural integrity and its natural beauty. Our CEREC milling unit crafts your restoration from a solid block of high-quality, professional-grade ceramic. This material is exceptionally durable and perfectly mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel. We carefully shade-match the ceramic block to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, ensuring your smile looks healthy, vibrant, and completely natural.
Precision Design & Custom Fit Restorations
A core value that guides how we treat patients day-to-day is respecting and valuing everyone’s opinion and listening to what they have to say. After we take your digital impression, we bring the 3D model up on our monitors. Dr. Badat takes the time to understand your needs and works with you to make a plan to accomplish your goals. He then digitally designs your new crown right in front of you, customizing the exact shape and contours so that it perfectly aligns with your natural bite and feels completely comfortable when you chew.
What To Expect During Your Appointment
When you visit our Orland Park, IL office for a same-day crown, you will immediately be welcomed by friendly faces and invited to relax in our beautifully designed environment. While we prepare your tooth, patients continually compliment how painless our anesthesia is. After your digital scan is complete, you can sit back and enjoy our calming nature views while our in-office milling machine sculpts your new crown in about 15 minutes. Once it is ready, Dr. Badat will permanently bond it to your tooth, make any minor bite adjustments, and send you on your way with a beautifully restored smile.
Caring For Your Crown Long-Term
We have hundreds of happy patients who have trusted us with their smiles, and we want to ensure your new restoration lasts for many years to come. Caring for a CEREC same-day crown is wonderfully simple: treat it exactly like your natural teeth. By brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting Orland Dental Studio for your routine preventive cleanings, we can help you protect your investment. During your check-ups, we will continually monitor the crown to ensure the seal remains strong, keeping your underlying tooth perfectly healthy.
