What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-shaped cover that restores a tooth to its natural size, shape, and strength. Crowns reshape worn teeth, protect weak or cracked teeth, cover a discolored or poorly shaped tooth, or complete a dental implant. At Smile Builders, most crowns are made same-day with CEREC technology — no temporary crown, no second visit.
How It Works
How the Same-Day CEREC Crown Process Works
From digital scan to a permanent crown — completed in about 2 hours, in a single visit.
01
Digital Scanning & Imaging
We take detailed 3D digital impressions of your tooth — no messy molds — to design your crown.
02
Virtual Crown Design
Using CEREC software, we design a virtual model of your crown, custom-fitted to your bite and neighboring teeth.
03
Precision Milling
Your crown is carved in-house from a single ceramic block, built to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
04
Placement & Bonding
We verify the fit and appearance, then permanently bond your new crown — no temporary crown, no second visit.
