“I have been a patient of Dr. Robertson for over 20 years. I'm a sensitive patient when it comes to going to a dentist and Dr. Robertson always remains mindful of that and makes each experience as relaxing as possible. He has the best possible temperament one could ask for in a dentist. He consistently maintains the most professional and extremely friendly staff which combined with his skills makes his practice by far the best choice.”
- Bill W, Newport Coast
“I just finished a session with Dr. Robertson which involved removing a bridge and filling the tooth that held the bridge, then replacing the bridge. Dr. Robertson was very considerate and caring doing the work. He was most careful while doing the procedure and there was no pain involved. He is especially good in situations such as this one was.”
- Doris R Y.
“We're long-time clients of Dr. Robertson & Company, and we love our visits to his office. Dr. Robertson, and all the dental hygienists and staff, provide the very BEST care possible. Whether it's a simple cleaning and check-up, the need for fillings, cosmetic dentistry or other procedures, they do it all, and always with a smile! Dr. R even adjusted my retainer, the last time I was in. I know you'll enjoy the experience they give their patients. Keep up the great work, and you know we'll be back!”
- Christine C.
“I want to thank you for the outstanding customer service that you and your staff have provided to me and my sister Josephine. I also want to thank Dr. Robert Bryan Mcleod and his assistant for the outstanding and great surgery they did on the extraction of my tooth. All of you are a blessing to me and my sister and are very thankful that we have you now and in the future to come. All of you are highly skilled, professional and very caring. I give all of you the highest rating in every category.”
- Frances M.
“When I arrive for my appointments the staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming! When I arrive for my appointment, I am acknowledged immediately and seen just as immediately. No one LOVES going to the dentist but it's a necessary evil and it's nice when you have a staff as great as they are. I always feel like I'm in great hands. Thank you Dr. Robertson and staff for all you do.”
- Cheryl W.

Can You Really Get a Dental Crown in One Visit?

Yes, with CEREC same-day dental crowns, you can receive your restoration while you wait.

What Is CEREC and How Is It Different?

CEREC technology is a state-of-the-art system that eliminates the hassle of getting a dental restoration. With CEREC, you don’t have to wait weeks for your tooth crown or wear a temporary!

Another bonus: no gooey impression materials. CEREC is fully digital.

How the One-Visit Dental Crown Process Works

Here’s how it works:

Your dentist treats the tooth you’d like to crown (removing old filling material and shaping).
We take careful digital impressions of the treated tooth for our CEREC system.
A team member forwards your impression results to our computer for drafting.
The computer sends the crown specifications to our on-site computer for printing.
Your dentist makes adjustments before cementing the new crown over your tooth.

Do Same-Day CEREC Crowns Really Last?

Our CEREC crowns are made from a single piece of porcelain and are durable. The only difference between our crowns and the porcelain restorations fabricated in local labs is that you don’t have to wait!

Porcelain crowns, including CEREC, can last up to ten years or longer.

Reasons You May Need a Dental Crown

Dentists recommend tooth crowns for various reasons, and sometimes patients request them to conceal tooth imperfections.

Reasons you might need or want a dental crown include:

Damaged or Deeply Decayed Tooth: If you have a damaged or deeply decayed tooth, we can often treat it and save it using a dental crown.
After Root Canal Therapy: Root infections weaken tooth structure. A dental crown can help restore function.
To Hide Tooth Imperfections: Dental crowns conceal chips, cracks, discoloration, and issues with tooth shape.
To Assist in Tooth Replacement: Tooth crowns connect bridges to natural teeth and cap single dental implants.
To Lengthen a Short Tooth: Short teeth mean other teeth are tasked with the hard work of chewing. Crowns can level your bite line.
