CEREC Same-Day Crowns in Indianapolis
Fast, Natural-Looking Dental Crowns—In Just One Visit
CEREC same-day crowns allow you to restore damaged or decayed teeth with a permanent, custom-fit crown in a single appointment. At Brauer Family Dentistry, we use advanced CEREC technology to design, fabricate, and place your crown on-site—no temporary crown or follow-up visit needed.
This treatment is ideal for patients who want to preserve their smile quickly and efficiently without compromising on quality or appearance.
What Are CEREC Crowns?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a state-of-the-art dental system that uses digital scanning and in-office milling to craft ceramic crowns while you wait. The process eliminates messy impressions and multiple visits, making it faster and more convenient than traditional crown placement.
Benefits of choosing CEREC crowns at our Indianapolis office include:
- No temporary crowns or return visits
- Durable, all-ceramic materials that match your natural teeth
- Digital impressions—no putty
- Completed in just one appointment
We use this same high-tech approach in other areas of care too, including digital X-rays and iTero scanning.
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Crowns are typically used to restore teeth that are:
- Severely decayed or cracked
- Weakened from large fillings
- Treated with a root canal
- Misshapen or discolored
- Replaced with a dental implant restoration
If you're unsure whether you need a crown, Dr. Ted K. Brauer will perform a thorough evaluation and may recommend CEREC as part of a full restorative treatment plan.
How the CEREC Process Works
- Digital Scan: We begin by digitally scanning your tooth with 3D imaging—no uncomfortable molds required.
- Design and Milling: The scan data is used to design your crown, which is then milled from a solid block of ceramic using our in-office machine.
- Placement: Once complete, your crown is bonded to your tooth the same day, allowing you to leave with a fully restored smile.
The entire process usually takes around two hours.
