Anyone who is a candidate for a traditional crown can typically receive a CEREC® same day crown in our Heartland, TX office. It takes just a few minutes for us to take a digital impression of your teeth. Then, we prepare your tooth to receive its new crown. Often, this requires we remove a portion of the enamel so the tooth will fit well beneath the dental crown. After we design your crown, you’ll get to relax for a bit while the CEREC® machine creates it. Once it is ready, we’ll verify that the fit is perfect before we attach it to your tooth.
