What’s the Process of Getting a Crown?
Before CEREC technology, getting a crown took 2-3 appointments and involved a temporary crown. Now, with advanced techniques, the process is quicker and more comfortable.
CEREC crowns offer these advantages:
- Highly accurate and comfortable digital 3D scan
- Complete treatment in just one visit
- Preservation of more of your natural tooth structure
Our Crown Treatment Process
Examining and Preparing the Tooth
During your appointment, we will carefully examine your tooth. If decay is present, we’ll remove the damaged areas and clean the tooth. For teeth with stress fractures, a crown will protect them from breaking along the fracture lines. We’ll then shape your natural tooth to ensure a perfect fit for the crown.
Shaping the Crown
Once your tooth is prepared, we’ll use a 3D scanner to capture a highly accurate digital scan. This eliminates the need for traditional impressions. The scan is used to create a precise digital model of your crown. Using our in-house CEREC machine, your custom porcelain crown is crafted while you wait.
Placing the Crown
Your new crown will be bonded in place immediately—no second appointment or temporary crown needed. After a few final adjustments for a perfect fit and a final polish, your new crown is ready to provide a seamless, comfortable solution.

Schedule an initial consultation and exam with us. During your consultation, we will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, soft tissues, and the shape and condition of your bite. Our goal is to understand how your entire mouth looks and functions. Before planning your treatment, we want to know everything about the health and aesthetics of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

With proper care and maintenance, a crown can last for 10 years or longer.
A dental crown is maintained just like a natural tooth. Regular brushing and flossing help keep your dental crown and the surrounding gum healthy and clean. Routine cleanings and checkups at your dentist are essential for your overall oral health.
You should speak with your insurance provider to determine if they will cover your crown. After your initial consultation, we can provide you with a quote to present to your insurance provider.
We reserve your appointment slot exclusively for you and do not double book. Therefore, we kindly request that you provide us with 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel an appointment, allowing us to offer the slot to another patient who may be waiting.
