CEREC same-day dental crowns and bridges can save you time and hassle.

Rather than waiting weeks for your restoration and returning to the office for a final fit, we can often fabricate your crown or bridge (and adjust it) during one office visit.

With same-day dental crowns in White Bear Lake, MN, you’ll not have to wear a temporary restoration while we wait for an outside lab to build your custom dental crown.

Finally, with same-day dental bridges, you’ll not have to endure temporary smile loss and difficulty chewing as you wait.

Let’s explore why you might need a dental crown or bridge and more benefits of CEREC technology.

How Does CEREC Technology Work?

Your White Bear Lake dentist takes impressions and sends the results to an onsite computer. From there, the software fabricates your crown before sending it on to our printer. Once the crown is printed, your dentist makes final adjustments before cementing over your tooth.

CEREC relies on quality porcelain for restorations and prosthetics.

Why You Might Need a Dental Crown or Bridge

Dental crowns enjoy many practical and important uses. If your dentist talks to you about a dental crown, the reason is usually a weak or at-risk tooth. Typically, teeth lose stability following root canal infections, injury, or untreated tooth decay.

Dental crowns also cap dental implant roots to restore above the gumline. Additionally, they connect bridge teeth to natural teeth via capping.

Patients sometimes opt for dental crowns to conceal discolored or flawed teeth—chips, cracks, discoloration, or wear.

Dental bridges in White Bear Lake, MN, are fixed restorations of replacement teeth, usually one or two, secured between dental crowns. When your dentist fixes the crowns to adjacent healthy teeth, the replacement teeth fill in your smile gap.

As mentioned above, same-day dentistry means you’ll not have to wait weeks for restorations or prosthetics. You’ll not have to endure multiple appointments, time off work, or disruptions to your schedule. CEREC makes taking care of your smile convenient!

Additionally, you’ll have a restored bite and aesthetically pleasing smile in short order.

CEREC technology also means quality restorations overseen by your dentist, who understands your smile and unique aesthetic goals better than any outside lab.
