Natural, Beautiful Results
Crafted from tooth-colored porcelain, your crown blends flawlessly with your smile.
What are dental crowns for?
- Damaged teeth - If your tooth structure has been damaged due to a cavity or a fracture more than half the width of the tooth, fixing it with a crown will restore your ability to chew, speak, and live normally again.
- Dental implants - The best way to replace missing or damaged teeth. A dental crown is often the final step of restoring your smile through implants.
- Root canals - When completing a root canal, our advanced technology helps you receive a finished crown in about an hour instead of waiting weeks with a temporary crown and then coming back for another appointment.
What To Expect
- Preparation: We’ll ensure your comfort while we prepare your tooth for your crown.
- Digital Scan: Your doctor will take a 3D digital scan of your mouth — simple and fast!
- Design: Sit back while CEREC mills your dental crown from tooth-colored porcelain-like material.
- Results: We’ll bond your finished same-day crown into place and ensure the perfect fit.
FAQs
What is CEREC technology?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a state-of-the-art system that allows us to design, create, and place custom dental crowns in a single visit—no messy impressions, temporary crowns, or follow-up appointments needed. Using advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology, CEREC captures highly precise digital impressions of your tooth, which are then used to craft a custom ceramic crown right in our office. The result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that fits seamlessly with your bite and is ready the same day.
Is a CEREC crown as good as a crown made in a lab?
CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic and are milled with incredible precision, allowing for a strong, natural-looking restoration in a single visit. For most patients, this same-day convenience is a huge benefit without sacrificing durability or aesthetics.
How long does a dental crown last?
Thanks to our commitment to the highest-quality materials and our team’s level of experience, your dental crown can last 15 years or more.
How should I care for my crown?
Dental crowns are easy to maintain. Care for your crown the same way you would any other tooth: brush twice a day, floss once a day, and keep up on your routine cleanings.
What else can CEREC do besides crowns?
CEREC technology can also be used to create custom bridges, inlays, onlays, and even veneers. If you’re missing a tooth, a CEREC-crafted bridge offers a fast, precise solution to restore your smile.
We Accept Insurance
Getting a dental crown shouldn’t come with financial surprises. Many insurance plans provide partial coverage for crowns, and our team is here to help you maximize your benefits. We’ll check your coverage, provide an upfront estimate, and explain any out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.
