A Versatile Treatment
Dental crowns are strong, long-lasting restorations that fully encase a tooth compromised by trauma or decay. This option can also be used to enhance the appearance of your smile, concealing dental discoloration and chips or cracks. To meet our patients unique needs, we offer both traditional and same-day restorations. For patients who qualify, we can design and place a custom dental crown in a single office visit using our advanced CEREC system.
Same-Day Crowns
Process
During your consultation, your doctor can perform a thorough evaluation of your smile to determine whether you are eligible for a same-day crown. If you decide to proceed with treatment, we can begin by administering a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Once ready, Dr. Sauer or Dr. Avirett can clean and reshape your tooth, removing damaged tissue. This process helps to ensure your restoration fits comfortably in your bite. Using CEREC technology, we can then take digital images of your smile, which will be used to design a custom mold. After determining proper measurements and color, we can send this information to an in-office milling unit, which can sculpt your crown out of high quality ceramic.

Dental Crown
Placement
After fabrication, we can place the restoration over the tooth to ensure proper fit and color. If no modifications are needed, we can secure your crown in place, revealing restored dental form and function. Typically, the entire process takes about an hour and a half, but your treatment timeline will ultimately depend upon the extent of your procedure. We can also place a dental crown to enhance the appearance of your smile, masking imperfections such as dental staining and chips or cracks. At our practice, we can take the time to listen to your unique goals before designing a treatment plan suited to your preferences.
