Town Dental Has CEREC!
3D Printed Dental Crowns With CEREC Technology
Need a dental crown but dread the idea of multiple appointments, messy impressions, and weeks of waiting? At Town Dental, we get it. That’s why we offer same day crowns using CEREC technology right here in Chaska, MN. Our dental crown process is designed to fit your life, not the other way around. You walk in with a damaged tooth, and you leave with a custom, permanent restoration. No temporary crowns, no second visits, no hassle.
What Is a CEREC Dental Crown?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. In plain terms, it means we design and create your dental crown right here in our office while you wait. Traditional crowns require impressions sent to an outside lab, followed by a two to three week waiting period. With CEREC, we skip all of that.
Our advanced technology uses digital imaging to capture precise 3D scans of your tooth. Then, our milling machine carves your custom crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic. The entire process takes about an hour. So instead of juggling multiple appointments around your work and family schedule, you get your permanent dental crown in a single visit.
Who Needs a Dental Crown?
Wondering do I need a crown? Here are some common reasons patients come to Town Dental for crown treatment:
- A tooth weakened by a large filling or root canal
- A cracked or fractured tooth that needs reinforcement
- Severe decay that a standard filling cannot address
- Cosmetic concerns like discoloration or misshapen teeth
- Protection for a tooth after dental implant placement
If you’ve been putting off treatment because you thought it would be complicated, our same day crown process might change your mind. We make restoring your tooth straightforward and convenient.
How Our Same Day Crown Process Works
Here’s what you can expect when you visit us for a CEREC dental crown:
Consultation and Exam. We start by examining your tooth and discussing your options. Our team takes time to answer your questions and make sure you feel comfortable before we begin.
Digital Scanning. Forget about biting into gooey impression material. We use a small wand to take digital images of your tooth. It’s fast, accurate, and far more comfortable than traditional impressions.
Custom Design. Using specialized software, we design your crown right on screen. You can even watch as we shape it to match your natural teeth.
In-Office Milling. Our CEREC milling unit carves your crown from a ceramic block in about 15 minutes. The material is durable, stain-resistant, and color-matched to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Placement and Adjustment. We bond the finished crown to your tooth and make any final adjustments. You leave with a fully restored tooth that looks and functions like natural.
Why Choose CEREC Over Traditional Crowns?
The biggest advantage is time. With traditional dental crowns, you would need at least two appointments spaced weeks apart. You’d also wear a temporary crown that can feel awkward or even fall off. CEREC eliminates those issues.
Beyond convenience, our same day crowns offer:
- Precision Fit. Digital scanning creates an exact model of your tooth, so your crown fits better from the start.
- Natural Appearance. The ceramic material mimics the translucency of real tooth enamel, giving you a beautiful smile you’ll feel confident showing off.
- Durable Results. CEREC crowns are made from solid blocks of high-grade ceramic, designed to withstand normal chewing forces for years.
- Metal-Free Option. If you prefer to avoid metal restorations, CEREC crowns are an excellent choice.
Your Comfort Is Our Priority
We know that dental work can feel stressful. Our team focuses on creating a calm, welcoming environment from the moment you walk through the door. We explain each step before we start, so you always know what’s happening. If you have dental anxiety or sensitivity concerns, let us know.
