Experience Convenient and Comfortable Dentistry with CEREC Same-day Crowns

Do you need a dental crown in Chicago, Illinois? Traditionally, placing a dental crown is a drawn-out process spanning weeks. Now, thanks to CEREC same-day crowns at A Brush Above Family Dentistry, patients can leave our office with a fully crowned smile with one appointment. CEREC dentistry combines sophisticated software and hardware to handle the entire dental crown procedure in the office. There are no uncomfortable impressions, temporaries, or offside labs. 

Why do I need a dental crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped appliance worn over an existing tooth to enhance its color, shape, and strength. Dental crowns cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, repairing extensive damage that a typical filling can’t fix. 

Here are reasons why you may need a dental crown.

  • To hold parts of a cracked tooth together
  • To anchor a dental bridge to the surrounding teeth
  • To complete a dental implant treatment
  • To reinforce a tooth after root canal treatment
  • To replace large, old fillings
  • To cosmetically modify a discolored or misshapen tooth

Some traditional crowns are made from metal, which makes them stand out when smiling or eating. Our same-day crowns are created from high-quality ceramic materials that closely mimic your natural enamel. They look natural and blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.

How do CEREC same-day crowns work?

Traditionally, getting a dental crown would take at least three visits. First, the dentist would prep the tooth and send the impressions and measurements to an offside lab. Since fabricating your crown would take days, you’d have to wear an interim crown that many don’t love because of its uncomfortable fit and unnatural look. Once the permanent crown is ready, you’ll book another appointment for placement. 

Thanks to CEREC dentistry, placing a dental crown no longer needs multiple visits. Once we place your single-visit crown, no further dental visits are needed other than your regular six-month check-ups. But how do they work? CEREC combines state-of-the-art computer-assisted design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies to plan, design, fabricate, and place dental crowns in a single appointment. 

The CAD technology uses digital scans of your tooth to create a detailed 3D model, ensuring that every contour, angle, and surface of the crown perfectly matches your natural teeth. Once the crown design is approved, we feed it into the in-house milling machine, which manufactures your crown in 20 minutes! Once your crown is ready, the dentist makes a few last-minute adjustments before adhering it to your tooth with permanent dental cement. 

What are the benefits of same-day dental crowns?

Single-visit dental crowns are the real definition of convenience. Patients can have dental work done in a single appointment, avoiding the need to take days off from work or school. Dentists and patients love CEREC dental crowns because of their many benefits.

  • Single-visit convenience
