Porcelain crowns are an innovative and contemporary treatment method, enabling patients to resolve tooth decay and damage to teeth. Porcelain Crowns are a highly effective and discrete restorative method, which appear natural and aesthetically pleasing, since they do not contain metal. This form of Cosmetic Dentistry allows patients to amend oral flaws while enhancing the appearance of their teeth. Dr. Greg Ganji and Dr. Suzie Yang are proud to improve patients' oral well-being and create beautiful smiles; and through the use of Porcelain Crowns it is possible for them to achieve both goals!
The process of Porcelain Crowns is implemented when an existing tooth requires extensive restoration. If your teeth are cracked, decayed, broken or diseased, Porcelain Crowns may be beneficial to you. The following oral situations may govern the need for Porcelain Crowns:
Porcelain Crowns are beneficial to patients both aesthetically and functionally. Functionally, patients experience enhanced strength and stability. Aesthetically, Porcelain Crowns appear natural and are virtually indistinguishable from existing teeth. Created from the finest dental porcelain, these restorations have the ability to mimic natural tooth surfaces. The texture, color and translucency of your natural teeth can be matched and each Porcelain Crown is custom-made to your individual mouth situation. Porcelain Crowns are a safe and effective treatment method, proven to enhance both the appearance and functioning of your teeth.
The outstanding practice facilities of Dr. Greg Ganji and Dr. Suzie Yang enable them to complete Porcelain Crowns within one visit. CEREC Cad-Cam technology, the latest advancement in Porcelain Dentistry, creates Porcelain Crowns to each patient's measurements while you are in the dental chair, delivered that same day, without any temporary crowns needed.

The filling of dental cavities with unsightly metal alloys has been used throughout the history of dentistry. Contemporary fillings, however, are usually "tooth" colored and practically invisible to the untrained eye. These tooth-colored fillings can be used to replace old and worn silver amalgam, gold or other metal fillings for aesthetic purposes.
These new substances have a white hue and can be made from several different origins such as composite resin, glass ionomer cement (GIC), and porcelain ceramics. These materials are very resilient and long lasting in addition to their visual advantages, but can become discolored over time. Just like metal fillings, these can be set and cured within one visit to the dentist, although they may take a little bit longer.
Tooth-colored fillings are priced similar to metallic alloys; they tend to be cheaper than precious metals but more expensive than common metals.
CEREC is taking the dental industry by storm! CEREC is a computer system which visually scans the tooth and robotically grinds a block of hardened ceramic into the shape of your crown, inlay, or onlay. Enabling patients to undergo porcelain restoration procedures within just one appointment, CEREC is the greatest technological advancement in dentistry to date. Dr. Greg Ganji and Dr. Suzie Yang are enthusiastic to offer the innovative technique of CEREC to our patients.

Referred to as CEREC, Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics is changing the way restorative dentistry is practiced. Reducing the series of multiple appointment slots generally involved in Porcelain restorations to just one visit, CEREC is a truly revolutionary technique. The need for laboratory work and impressions of teeth are no longer necessary. CEREC allows patients to improve their smiles within one hour.
We utilize the very latest equipment and technology available within the dental world. CEREC uses state-of-the-art computer imaging software and creates Porcelain restorations within minutes. Through the technique of CEREC, the following restoration procedures may be completed within one session:
CEREC offers several exceptional advantages to patients: increased strength and stability of the affected tooth, as well as reduced risk of further deterioration of other teeth. CEREC creates restorations made from porcelain materials, therefore enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the tooth.
At your appointment, Dr. Greg Ganji or Dr. Suzie Yang will prepare the tooth for treatment. A 3D electronic scan is then taken of the tooth and displayed on screen for Dr. Greg Ganji or Dr. Suzie Yang and the patient to view. This data is fed into the CEREC machine; which creates the porcelain restoration in accordance with the patient's individual oral situation. The restoration is then polished to resemble your existing teeth, and bonded to the tooth.
