When a tooth suffers significant damage or decay, a dental crown restores its strength and appearance. Traditional crowns typically require two appointments. During the first visit, your dentist reshapes the tooth, takes impressions, and places a temporary crown. A dental lab then custom-creates the permanent restoration, which you receive at a second appointment weeks later.
Same-Day Crowns?
Same-day crowns in Champaign use CEREC® technology to streamline the process. Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEREC, crowns rely on digital imaging instead of messy impressions. With these advanced images, we design and mill your custom ceramic crown right in the office during your visit. Once we’ve confirmed the fit and color, the crown is bonded in place that same day.
The CEREC Advantage
Both options provide durable, natural-looking results. However, CEREC crowns eliminate the need for temporary restorations and multiple appointments. They also eliminate the risk of temporary crown failure between visits. During your consultation, Dr. Anderson will recommend the best option based on your tooth’s condition and your schedule.
