Dental crowns are one of the most important restorations we offer. A crown can save a broken or decayed tooth by holding it together & protecting it from further damage. It can also serve as a beautiful replacement for an unsightly tooth.
A crown, also called a cap, is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped as well, or to cover a dental implant. A crown can make your tooth stronger & improve its appearance.
A crown acts the same way as a tooth, so after your crowns are placed, you should treat it the same way as well. Continue to brush & floss regularly & see your dentist for regular checkups!

Procedure Overview
Step 1: Gentle Preparation
- Before the dentist can prepare your tooth for a crown, the tooth is gently shaped & cleared of any decay under comfortable local anesthesia.
Step 2: Optical 3D Digital Scan
- Once your tooth has been prepared, we will take an impression (mold) of your teeth. In seconds, our handheld 3D Primescan camera captures high-definition digital impressions of your teeth.
Step 3: In-Office 3D Milling
- While you relax or browse your phone, our in-office Primemill robotic milling unit precisely crafts your custom crown from a high-strength ceramic block.
Step 4: Same-Day Permanent Polish & Placement
- Dr. Anthony or your doctor checks the fit, verifies your bite, polishes the restoration, and permanently bonds the crown to your tooth. You walk out with a fully restored tooth!
Dental crowns need to be treated with the same care as regular teeth. While the crown itself can’t decay, the tooth underneath it can. Regular brushing & flossing is essential to maximizing your crown’s lifespan. If properly cared for, a typical crown can last anywhere from 10 to 50 years!
Getting a dental crown doesn’t have to be difficult. Let us show you how the CEREC system can restore your smile in just one visit.
