A dental crown is the most common restorative procedure because of its exceptional benefits. The protective cap prevents additional damage and restores the tooth's function and appearance. Traditionally, it requires 2 appointments to get a crown, but now you can get one over your lunch break with CEREC technology. You won't compromise on quality or aesthetics when investing in a same-day dental crown.
Why Choose Cornerstone Dental for Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a protective cap that covers the entire surface of a tooth to the gum line. Crowns are appropriate for treating several issues, like:
Thanks to ceramic materials, crowns also provide aesthetic benefits. They can improve the appearance of abnormally shaped or stained teeth using a solution that looks natural.
After an initial consultation, you are scheduled for your appointment. Your dentist may administer a numbing medication to block any pain while performing any preparatory treatments, like a root canal. Your dentist must also reshape your tooth to allow the crown to fit over it.
Once your tooth is prepped, your dentist will take a digital impression of your tooth. The state-of-the-art technology removes any room for error for precise results.
The scan works along with CAD/CAM software, which your dentist will use to set the specifics for your restoration. The information is then sent to an in-office milling machine. Your crown will be cut from a single block of ceramic material. In about 1 hour, it will be ready to bond to your tooth. There's no need for a temporary crown or a second appointment.
Whether you have a broken, stained, or decayed tooth, a CEREC dental crown can be a great solution. Continual improvements in dentistry allow them to offer exceptional benefits, including:

Dental crowns are one of the most effective methods of restoring a damaged tooth and are designed to beautifully blend in with the rest of your smile. This naturally leads patients to wonder what they’re going to have to pay for a treatment like this.
Fortunately, we do everything we can to make paying for dental care as easy and painless as it can possibly be. We’ll give you an estimate for what your dental care is going to cost you when we meet you in person, but here’s what you should know before that about the factors that affect the cost of dental crowns.
Part of the reason it isn’t possible to tell you what your dental crowns are going to cost you without meeting you first is that the price can vary depending on several factors. For one, dental crowns can be made from a variety of different materials, and the one that you use will come with its own cost.
You should also think about whether there are any preliminary procedures associated with your dental crown treatment. If you need a root canal, for example, this could potentially influence what you’re likely to pay for your overall cost of care.
We know that this can be a lot to consider, but don’t worry—we’ll talk you through the various options available to you and what they’ll cost when we meet you.
Dental crowns are a major medical procedure, one done for important medical reasons. That being the case, insurance will generally cover around 50% of the total cost of the procedure. That said, this can vary from plan to plan, and will depend on whether you’ve paid your deductible. We’ll help you navigate these decisions in order to make the process of insurance payment as easy as possible for you.
That said, we know that not everyone has dental insurance. That’s why we offer alternatives that can still make your procedure affordable. For one, we know that it can often be difficult to pay for the entirety of your treatment upfront, which is why we work with several different financing firms that can allow you to split up the cost of your dental care.
CareCredit and Lending Club are two firms we work with often, providing our patients with low-to-no interest financing if they qualify. If you want to learn more about how you can make your dental care affordable, give us a call and we’ll review your financing options.
