Restore Your Smile’s Appearance and Function with Single-visit CEREC Crowns
Do you have a broken or severely decayed tooth? Do you know you can restore your smile with a crown in a single visit? This may come as a surprise since traditional crowns need multiple dental trips. However, CEREC dental crowns in Monroe, Michigan, allow McMullin Dental Care to crown your teeth in a day! Yes, you heard that right. Dr. Maria McMullin and her team can plan, design, create, and place most dental crowns in one appointment.
Why do I need a dental crown?
A dental crown or cap is a tooth-shaped restoration worn over the remaining tooth structure to bolster its strength and appearance. Dental crowns are expertly made to look and feel natural and are often used to:
- Reinforce a tooth after a root canal
- Complete a dental implant
- Secure a traditional bridge
- Strengthen a severely damaged tooth
- Enhance the aesthetic appeal of a misshapen or stubbornly discolored tooth
Reclaim your confidence and smile function with CEREC same-day dental crowns. Enjoy the benefits of solid, aesthetically pleasing crowns without the traditional wait!
How do CEREC dental crowns work?
Your procedure starts with a consultation. The dentist will use digital x-rays to inspect your tooth and determine its eligibility for a crown. If so, the dentist will prepare your tooth by reshaping the enamel. If any decay or damage is found, we will remove those parts to ensure a healthy structure.
Next, we’ll take images of your tooth with a dental scanner. Then, using a computer-aided design (CAD) unit, we’ll create a virtual crown model that matches the exact specifications of your tooth. Once the design is approved, we’ll feed the image into our in-house milling machine, fabricating your customized crown within minutes. Finally, we’ll polish and adjust your crown before bonding it to your tooth.

What are the benefits of CEREC dental crowns?
Where do we begin? Same-day dental crowns offer numerous benefits.
Some include:
- Convenience: Gone are the days when restoring your tooth with a crown needs multiple dental visits. CEREC crowns restore your tooth in a single dental appointment.
- Comfortable impressions: CEREC technology uses digital impressions to create a mold of your tooth. There are no uncomfortable, gag-inducing physical impressions. This enhances patient comfort.
- Aesthetics: CEREC crowns are made from durable ceramic that closely resembles your natural enamel. When we restore your tooth, it blends seamlessly with your entire smile.
- Precision: Advanced technology ensures precision, allowing your restoration to fit snugly.
- No temporaries: Temporary crowns are made to protect the tooth when waiting for a new crown to be made. They then have to be removed in order to fit the new crown. With CEREC crowns, you don’t need a temporary crown to wear while you wait for the new crown to be made. You’ll walk out of our office with a permanent restoration.
A bridge is a non-surgical way to replace one or many teeth. A bridge uses the adjacent teeth as anchors to support the missing tooth or teeth. With today’s dental advancements, a bridge can be fabricated in a fairly short period of time, using a metal or nonmetal foundation. Don’t let that missing tooth affect the way you speak, eat, and smile. Bridges yield immediate results that last a lifetime. Ask your dentist what type of bridge may be right for you.
