Getting a crown used to mean plastic temporary crowns and multiple visits to the dentist. Today’s approach is faster, easier, and more effective. With advanced CEREC® technology, Dr. Kusek and our team can create and place a permanent crown in one visit. It’s faster, easier, and more effective.
A crown caps a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. Crowns strengthen the tooth it covers as well as dramatically improving its appearance. They can also be used to restore a tooth, attach to a bridge, protect teeth from breaking, and cover misshaped teeth.
Our revolutionary CEREC® device at CHS Dental combines CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology with a specialized digital camera, advanced software and a precision milling machinE. This cutting-edge solution allows Dr. Kusek and our team to quickly create a natural-looking ceramic crown on the spot.
With Same Day Crowns from Dr. Kusek, you can walk in with a chipped, cracked or damaged tooth, and walk out that same day with a restored smile.
No temporary crowns needed
We value you and your time. That’s why our same day crowning process removes the need for temporary crowns or waiting weeks for permanent crowns to arrive. You’ll leave your visit ready to share your smile.
No gunk-filled mess
Our investment in modern dentistry means no more gunk-filled, messy, and uncomfortable impressions for you. Instead, CEREC® digitally maps your mouth using a specialized camera to capture a highly detailed digital image of the are a where the crown will be placed.
