Crown prep in Kessler Dental
About the clinic
Dental crown preparation at Kessler Dental in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, uses advanced CEREC technology to provide a permanent restoration in one visit. This method removes the need for temporary crowns or a second appointment. Patients receive a natural-looking, metal-free crown designed and placed during a single 90-minute session.
Same-Day CEREC Technology
Kessler Dental uses the CEREC CAD/CAM system to complete the entire crown process on-site. The procedure starts with a 3D digital camera taking impressions of your teeth. This replaces the uncomfortable trays and putty used in traditional methods. The doctor prepares the tooth by removing decay and reshaping the surface. A second digital scan helps the software create a precise 3D model of your new crown.
The crown is milled in the office in about 15 minutes. This process allows the team to check the fit and polish the restoration immediately. Once ready, the doctor bonds the permanent crown to your tooth. The clinic has operated since 1972 and follows sterilization standards from the ADA, OSHA, and CDC.
High-Quality Materials and Longevity
The clinic uses all-ceramic materials, including porcelain or zirconia, which contain no metal. These materials are biocompatible and safe for patients with metal sensitivities. They mimic the look of natural teeth and are durable enough to last over 10 years with proper care. The entire appointment typically lasts about 1.5 hours from start to finish.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients can expect some tenderness for about 5–7 days after the procedure. Sensitivity to cold temperatures may last for over 15 days. To maintain the restoration, follow these steps:
- Avoid eating sticky foods immediately after placement.
- Use a night guard if you tend to grind your teeth.
- Do not use your front teeth to bite into hard objects.
- Contact the clinic if you feel lingering pain after 3 weeks.
If you need a fast and durable tooth restoration, you can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about same-day crowns at this facility.

Kessler Dental: more details about the clinic
Specialized Dental Care and Expertise
The clinical team includes five doctors who coordinate care across several dental fields. Dr. Jagdeep Singh leads the surgical and periodontal pathway. He is a Board Certified Periodontist and Surgeon. Dr. Singh completed his specialty training in periodontology and dental implants at Temple University. He also finished a one-year residency at York Hospital.
Dr. Melanie Kessler handles general and cosmetic services. She earned her degree from Temple University's School of Dentistry in 2005. The clinic also employs a clinical manager with EFDA certification and 15 years of experience. This ensures consistency during restorative procedures.
Dental Specialties
The practice covers a broad range of dental disciplines under one roof:
- Restorative Dentistry: Includes crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants.
- Periodontal Care: Treats gum disease through non-surgical therapies.
- Cosmetic Dentistry: Offers veneers, whitening, and full mouth reconstructions.
- Orthodontics: Provides traditional methods and Invisalign clear aligners.
- Endodontics: Performs root canal treatments for infected tooth pulp.
- Children's Dentistry: Treats patients of all ages with a focus on hygiene education.
Root canal procedures typically take one to two hours. Duration depends on tooth location and infection complexity. For moderate to advanced periodontitis, the clinic offers gum surgery and bone grafts. These procedures prevent tooth loss when supporting bone starts to deteriorate.
Modern Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
Kessler Family Dental uses a digital workflow to reduce patient visits. The CEREC system allows for one-visit dentistry. With this technology, certain crowns, fillings, and veneers are created in-office the same day. Several high-resolution tools support diagnostic accuracy:
- Cerec Omnicam for digital diagnostic models and 3D scanning
- Digital X-rays, including panoramic and periapical views
- Intraoral scanning and photography for detailed examinations
- OralDNA salivary testing to assess specific periodontal bacteria
- Digital Smile Design (DSD) for computer-aided cosmetic planning
These tools let patients see their results before physical treatment begins.
Support for International and Anxious Patients
The clinic provides anxiety-free dentistry for patients who experience fear during visits. Options include anxiolysis using mild sedatives like Valium. Sleep dentistry and nitrous oxide are also available. If a patient uses anxiolysis, two separate visits are required. The first covers health history, while the second involves the procedure.
International patients receive a guided experience focused on individualized care. The clinic accommodates English and Spanish speakers. To enhance comfort, the practice offers:
- Noise-canceling headphones with music
- Pillows and blankets
- Lip balm
New patients can access secure online forms to streamline their arrival process.
