Patients coming from afar

Planned around your travel — CBCT, Cerec and 3D printers let us fit dentistry to your schedule, not the other way around.

Traveling for treatment

Single-visit dentistry is the rule, not the exception

If you're traveling to New York City for treatment from another state or country, Centre Dental is experienced in accommodating your schedule and providing as much treatment as possible in a single visit.

Our CBCT, Cerec, and 3D printers let us complete most treatments in a single day. For more complex plans, we minimize the number of visits required — often to just two or three.

What we can do in fewer visits

Four common travel cases

Crowns, Veneers & Bridges

Root canal, crown, veneer or bridge — completed same-day using Cerec. The AI-designed ceramic crown is milled while you wait. You can even collaborate on the design.

Dental Implants · 2 visits

Give us a few hours for CBCT X-rays, teeth scan and AI-designed surgical guide — implants can be placed the same day (if bone conditions allow). Return 6 months later for abutments and crowns.

All-on-X Full Arch

Most teeth missing or failing? A full-arch restoration supported by 4–8 implants, with a fixed temporary on day one. Can be completed in as few as 3 visits.

All-on-X Treatment Plan

A fixed, functional smile — in as few as 3 visits

The All-on-X (AOX / All-on-4) approach is especially suitable for long-distance patients because all surgery and a fixed temporary can happen in one day.

Visit 0 · Virtual

Virtual appointment

Send us your previous X-rays. We'll provide a free virtual consultation to confirm you're a candidate for AOX before you book any travel.

Visit 1

Diagnostics & planning

New X-rays, CBCT, teeth scans, treatment plan, financials and consent. We then order surgical guides and all AOX components.

Visit 2

Surgery + same-day temporary teeth

Remove all failing teeth, clean and disinfect surgical sites, place 4–8 implants (depending on bone quality). MUA abutments connect to stable implants and get scanned. A 3D-printed AOX temporary is delivered before you leave — along with a 3D-printed night guard. Can be combined with Visit 1 if you stay in New York for ~1 week.

Visit 3

Final bridge design (after ~6 months)

Return for the final bridge. We check implant stability, adjust the temporary, rescan abutments, and send data to the lab for the final AOX zirconia fixed bridge. Fabrication takes about 2 weeks.

Visit 4

Delivery & new night guard

Deliver the final implant bridge, make a new night guard. Can be combined with Visit 3 if you stay in New York for ~2 weeks. Maintained properly, it will last a lifetime.
