Same-Day Crowns
Need a crown? With CEREC technology we can design, craft, and place your permanent crown in a single visit — no messy impressions, no temporary crown, and no second appointment weeks later.
We scan your tooth digitally, design your restoration right here in the office, and mill it from strong, tooth-colored ceramic while you relax. You walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a finished, natural-looking crown.

I am not a fan of the dentist, but going to see Dr. P, I had zero pain and the experience was great. Highly recommend. Staff is wonderful, the reminders are on point. Phenomenal practice.
★★★★★
I cannot recommend Dr. Pizzo highly enough. Before finding his practice. I was dealing with a front tooth implant (wrong type come to find out) that had been placed by another dentist in a different state and, unfortunately, the result never looked right. Because it was my front tooth, it affected my smile.When I moved and found Dr. Pizzo, I quickly realized I was in exceptional hands. My case was far from straightforward and required extensive evaluation, research, planning, and expertise. What seemed like an overwhelming situation to me was approached by Dr. Pizzo with confidence, precision, and incredible attention to detail.The final result exceeded every expectation I had. What he accomplished feels nothing short of a miracle. My smile looks natural, beautiful, and better than I ever thought possible. Throughout the process, Dr. Pizzo and his team were professional, compassionate, and committed to achieving the best outcome.If you are looking for a dentist with exceptional skill, artistry, and dedication to his patients, look no further. I am beyond grateful for the care I received and can honestly say that Dr. Pizzo changed my smile and my confidence. Thank you, Dr. Pizzo! Again, I can’t say enough about Dr Pizzo and his entire team at this practice…they are so great in their profession and have the BEST personalities!!!
★★★★★
Our family has been patients of Dr. Pizzo for many years, and I truly cannot recommend him highly enough. He has cared for three generations of our family—from my parents, to my husband and me, to our sons, who started seeing him as young children and are now teenagers.What makes Dr. Pizzo so exceptional is that he is far more than an outstanding dentist. He embodies the qualities of a true family doctor—someone who genuinely knows his patients, cares about them as people, and treats them with kindness, compassion, and respect. In today’s world, that level of personal care is increasingly rare.One of the things that has always impressed me most is his incredible attention to detail. Of course, he is meticulous when it comes to dental care, but what makes him unique is that his attention extends far beyond our teeth. He remembers details about our family, asks about our lives, follows up on important events, and makes each of us feel truly known and valued. Every visit feels personal because he takes the time to build genuine relationships with his patients.Over the years, I have had several dental procedures, and every experience has been handled with the utmost professionalism, skill, and sensitivity. Dr. Pizzo takes the time to explain everything, puts you completely at ease, and personally follows up afterward to make sure you are doing well. His attention to both the clinical and human side of patient care is remarkable.Equally impressive is his ability to connect with patients of every age. Whether it’s a young child visiting the dentist for the first time, a teenager, a busy parent, or an elderly patient, Dr. Pizzo has a unique way of making everyone feel comfortable, valued, and cared for.The entire office reflects the same warmth and professionalism. Every member of the team is friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in creating a positive experience. From scheduling appointments to routine cleanings to more complex procedures, you are always treated with kindness and respect.Dr. Pizzo has earned our family’s trust over many years, and we are incredibly grateful for the care he has provided. It is rare to find a healthcare professional who combines exceptional expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and such a sincere commitment to his patients and their families. If you are looking for a dentist who truly cares and treats you like family, look no further. Dr. Pizzo and his wonderful team are simply the best.
