Get a Dental Crown in One Visit—Right Here in Park Slope

If you’ve ever needed a dental crown, you probably remember the routine: two appointments, goopy impressions, a temporary that didn’t quite fit, and a few weeks of waiting.

At Park Slope Dentistry Seventh Avenue, we’ve streamlined the entire experience.

With CEREC® same-day crown technology, we can restore your tooth with a permanent, custom-fit crown in just one visit. No more waiting on a dental lab. No more temporaries. No more second dental visits.

Just precise, long-lasting care using the latest in digital crown technology—all in the comfort of our warm, welcoming office right here on Seventh Avenue in Park Slope.

What Is a Dental Crown—and Why Might You Need One?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits perfectly over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Think of it like a protective helmet for your tooth—strong enough to handle daily chewing, while blending in naturally with your smile.

You might need a crown if your tooth has:

  • A large cavity or worn-down filling

  • Cracked or fractured enamel

  • Undergone a root canal

  • Cosmetic issues that affect your bite or confidence

At Park Slope Dentistry Seventh Avenue, we use same-day crown technology to make this process quick and comfortable, especially for our busy Brooklyn neighbors who don’t have time for multiple visits.

Whether you're a parent juggling school pickups, a professional squeezing in appointments during lunch breaks, or just someone who values efficient care, we're here to make it easy.

The Traditional Crown Process (and Why It’s Outdated)

Until recently, getting a dental crown was a bit of a process. It usually looked like this:

  • Two separate visits—one to prepare the tooth, and another two weeks later to place the permanent crown

  • Goopy impressions that often felt uncomfortable or made you gag

  • Wearing a temporary crown that might loosen, fall out, or just feel... off

  • Waiting 2 to 3 weeks for an off-site lab to return your finished crown

  • Risk of needing a second numbing injection, adjustments, or even a full remake if it didn’t fit perfectly

It was time-consuming, inconvenient, and honestly, kind of frustrating.

We knew our patients deserved better. So we invested in CEREC crown technology—bringing same-day, precision-designed dental crowns to Brooklyn without the back-and-forth

What Makes CEREC Crowns Different?

One Visit. One Injection. One Beautiful, Permanent Crown.

Thanks to CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), we can now create and place your custom dental crown in a single appointment—right here in our Park Slope office.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Digital scan: No impressions! We use a small camera to capture a detailed, 3D image of your tooth

  2. On-screen design: Your crown is digitally designed for a perfect fit using advanced software.

  3. In-office milling: Our CEREC Primemill shapes your crown from high-quality ceramic in about 20 minutes.

  4. Fit and bond: We try it in, make any adjustments, and cement it permanently. You’re done!

This isn’t just more convenient—it’s better dentistry:

  • No temporary crown to baby for weeks

  • No second injection

  • No chance of lab delays or re-dos

  • Everything customized for your tooth and your bite

While the appointment takes around 2.5 hours start to finish, much of that time is spent waiting while your crown is milled and polished. You’re free to relax, read, or catch up on your favorite show.

Do We Still Use Dental Labs?Absolutely—When It’s Best for You

While we’re big fans of our CEREC same-day crown technology, some treatments call for the precision craftsmanship of an outside dental lab.

For more complex or cosmetic cases, we partner with trusted lab technicians who specialize in:

  • Dental bridges

  • Porcelain veneers

  • Implant crowns

  • Full smile makeovers and reconstructions

These lab-created restorations are often hand-finished for maximum artistry and detail—ideal when aesthetics are the top priority.

At Park Slope Dentistry Seventh Avenue, we’ll always recommend the best option for your individual needs, whether that’s a same-day crown done in-house or a lab-crafted solution.
