Same-Day Crowns
State-of-the-Art Dentistry A Closer Look at CEREC® Technology
While traditional dental crown treatment could take several weeks or more, our Albuquerque practice can get the job done in one appointment thanks to the CEREC® same-day system. CEREC uses innovative CAD/CAM technology (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) to streamline custom dental crown production.
After designing the crown to exact specifications with the CEREC software, the blueprint is sent to our in-office milling machine. Instantly the device gets to work, carving the restoration from a solid block of tooth-colored material. In about two hours, your crown is complete. Our dentist will secure the cap to your tooth at the very same appointment, allowing you to walk out the door with a fully restored smile.

In addition, her staff is very knowledgeable, and very attentive to the details in their specific duties.

Protection
Traditional crowns are manufactured at off-site dental labs in a process that takes several weeks. While you wait, you wear a temporary crown that often fits poorly and is less durable. A same-day restoration eliminates the need for a temporary crown and provides instant protection.
Comfort
CAD/CAM technology takes advantage of digital impressions, which are quicker and more comfortable than old-fashioned putty impressions. Our intraoral camera scans your teeth in seconds and instantly uploads the images to a chairside monitor.
Quality
CEREC same-day crowns are renowned for their accuracy and precise fit. The quality of a same-day crown often surpasses traditional restorations, lasting for longer and providing similar natural-looking aesthetics of lab-made alternatives.
A Healthy Smile Made Easy
Tending to your oral health doesn't need to be difficult or time-consuming. Peak Family Dentistry is happy to be able to make your life a little easier with our high-tech dental care.

How Do I Know If I Need a Dental Crown?
While some patients can have tooth damage without even knowing it, a dental problem usually produces telltale symptoms. Ask yourself the following questions:
- Does it hurt to bite down or chew?
- Do my teeth feel sensitive when exposed to hot or cold temperatures?
- Are my gums inflamed or swollen?
- Does my tooth look discolored or grey?
- Have I suffered trauma to the mouth?
- Can I see visible cracks or breaks in my tooth?
- Am I looking to correct tooth loss with an implant or dental bridge?
If you responded yes to any of these questions, you might be in need of a dental crown. Schedule an appointment at our Albuquerque, NM, office as soon as possible so we can diagnose the problem and recommend the best form of treatment.

I had an excellent first visit with Dr. Adams and her staff! COVID precautions are excellent. Information and precautions are clear and office was very clean, light, and cheery! Had a very thorough exam and was given a blueprint to fix the dental challenges I am facing! I was very pleased with my overall experience and would recommend Dr Adams and her staff to anyone seeking a new dentist!

Implant-Supported Dental Crowns
If severe damage necessitates extraction or you have already lost your tooth, consider an implant-supported crown. Unlike a dental bridge, which is held in place with crowns on adjacent teeth, an implant-supported crown is supported by a surgically placed dental implant.
Treatment will repair the aesthetics of your smile and replace the missing tooth roots, providing an array of oral health benefits. Whether you are looking to replace a missing tooth, replace a dental bridge, or repair a tooth with a crown, ask Dr. Adams about CEREC same-day crowns during your next appointment at our Albuquerque, NM, office.
