Living in New York means never having enough time. When a broken tooth or years of missing teeth disrupt your schedule, you need solutions that are fast, reliable, and lasting. At Centre Dental (中央牙科), we provide same-day dental crowns and full-arch implant reconstruction using digital technology that most NYC practices do not have in-house.
TL;DR — Quick Summary
Centre Dental designs, mills, and bonds dental crowns in a single appointment using in-house CEREC technology — no temporaries, no return visits.
Same-Day Dental Crowns: No Temporaries, No Second Visit
Traditional crown treatment requires two appointments separated by 10–14 days, plus a temporary restoration that can fracture or fall off. At Centre Dental, our same-day dental crowns are designed, milled, and bonded permanently in one visit:
- Digital scan with the 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanner — no impression material needed
- Crown design reviewed and approved chairside before milling begins
- Milling in our in-house CEREC Primemill unit (18–22 minutes)
- Final fit check, adjustments, and permanent bonding — same appointment
A 2023 study in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry found same-day CAD/CAM crowns show equivalent fracture resistance and marginal fit compared to lab-fabricated restorations at 5-year follow-up.
"Patients who come in dreading a crown often leave surprised — not just by the result, but by how uneventful the whole appointment felt. The technology has eliminated most of what made crowns stressful." — Dr. John Shi, D.D.S., Centre Dental NYC
Full-Arch Implant Reconstruction (All-on-X): A Complete Smile in One Day
Patients missing all or most teeth, or those facing full-mouth extractions, are often candidates for immediate-load full-arch implants. Our protocol:
- CBCT 3D cone-beam imaging maps bone volume, nerve pathways, and sinus anatomy
- 3D-printed surgical guide fabricated from the scan for sub-millimeter placement accuracy
- Four to six titanium implants placed under local anesthesia (IV sedation available)
- Provisional zirconia or PMMA bridge milled in-house and seated the same day
- Final full-contour zirconia bridge delivered 4–6 months later after osseointegration
The American Academy of Implant Dentistry reports that dental implants placed with digital planning achieve long-term survival rates above 98%. Patients who follow professional maintenance protocols maintain implants successfully for 15+ years. Learn more about our dental implants NYC service.
