What Are Dental Crowns?

If you have a severely decayed or damaged tooth, a dental crown protects it. Dental crowns restore the tooth’s shape and strength, allowing you to perform everyday activities such as eating and speaking confidently.

If you’ve had a dental crown, you know the hassle:

  • Completing the entire treatment in 2-3 appointments, making you take more time off work
  • Wearing uncomfortable, ill-fitting temporaries for 2-3 weeks
  • Undergoing gooey impressions

With CEREC technology, those days are in the past! Watch our video to learn why.

No Messy Impressions
Traditional dental crowns often require goopy, gag-worthy manual impressions. Not with CEREC! We complete impressions digitally using advanced imaging technology.

No Temporaries
Since we design and craft your custom crown in-house in a single visit, there isn’t any need to wear a temporary crown between multiple visits.

How We Craft Dental Crowns in 1 Hour

Digital Impressions

First, Dr. Justin Griffin uses a small wand to take digital impressions of your damaged tooth.

The impressions are transferred to a computer, creating a 3D model of your tooth.

Dr. Griffin will use this model to plan and craft your new tooth – all done digitally!

Design + Placement

Then, your new tooth design is transferred to our milling machine, which is right in our office.

You’ll watch the machine create your new dental crown – color-matched to your smile – right before your eyes.

Once done, Dr. Griffin will immediately place and restore the same-day crown over your damaged tooth, repairing it.

Just like that, you’ll walk out of our office with your new permanent crown.

Now your damaged tooth is beautifully restored and functioning again.

‘‘I had a custom-made crown prepared and fitted in one day! The cost was the same as at a traditional dentist’s office. While you wait in the dentist’s chair, you are treated to a built-in massage feature and a TV with your own remote and earphones.’’

– Nancy H., Actual Patient

‘‘Dr. Griffin and his team are simply the best in the business! I was unhappy with work done by a previous dentist. My crowns were not symmetrical, poorly positioned, and off in color. Dr. Griffin went above and beyond to make sure my expectations were met, and I’m in love with my new smile!’’

– SC, Actual Patient
