“Less than 2 hours start to finish.” A Patient Shares Their Same-Day Crown Experience

“Broke my tooth at work. They got me in on that same day, Friday afternoon. Made me a crown while I waited and I went home and ate normally. Less than 2 hours start to finish. They were so accommodating to fit me in with such short notice.

ALL the doctors so far are great. They are so friendly and professional. And they always do a great job. Thank you Central Texas Dental Care.”

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped shell made of porcelain that fits over a damaged tooth or over a decayed tooth following treatment like root canal therapy. A crown restores the tooth's function and provides strength and protection to maintain the structure, eliminating the need for extraction. A dental crown can also be paired with a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth.

Crowns in One Visit

Our Hewitt dental practice is proud to offer same-day porcelain crowns using CEREC® technology. At our practice, you can save both time and money because there is no need to wait weeks for a permanent crown, or hassle with a temporary crown.

Determining Which Type of Crown Is Best for You

traditional crown

Traditional Crowns

Patients who require treatment for broken teeth, decayed teeth, or root canal therapy commonly need traditional crowns. This option is supported by your natural tooth.

We invest in high-quality materials like porcelain, IPS e.max®, and zirconia to ensure that no one but you will know that you have a crown.

Implant-Supported Crowns

If you have a gap in your smile, we can help. A dental crown can also be paired with a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth. Essentially tiny screws secured in your jaw, implants offer impeccable stability. They can also improve your health by stimulating your bone tissue. For patients who aren't initially good candidates, we can improve your health with supplementary procedures like periodontics.

The Benefits of a Crown From Central Texas Dental Care

Restored Function

A damaged or decayed tooth can not only be painful, but also make it difficult to properly chew or speak. Dental crowns can renew your oral function, so you can get back to everyday activities.

Restored Appearance

Dental crowns also provide cosmetic benefits. Our crowns are shade-matched and designed to look natural alongside your other teeth. In addition to their practical benefits, our crowns can be used to conceal cosmetic imperfections such as cracks and chips. 

Restored Oral Health

Once our dentist addresses decay or trauma with treatments such as root canal therapy, a crown can protect the tooth to prevent further damage.

I love this practice, I love every dentist here. Dr. Cooney helped immediately with an infected tooth. I was told I needed an invasive procedure by other professionals that I didn’t want. Dr. Cooney did my extraction and gave me instant relief. Sally my hygienist was great so friendly along with all the assistants and front desk staff. I’ve always loved this clinic and I always will.

See How Dental Crown Placement Works

When it comes time for treatment, one of our dentists will reshape your natural tooth. This allows your crown to fit properly and blend in with your other teeth. 

Dental Crown Treatment Timeline

Unlike some other Waco practices, we provide same-day crowns, allowing you to quickly receive the care you need.

Consultation

During your initial consultation at our dentistry practice near Waco, your dentist will examine your mouth and discuss your needs and goals to determine if a dental crown is right for you.

Preparatory Treatment

If you need preparatory treatment such as root canal therapy or implant placement, this must be done first. 

Anesthetic

Your dentist will begin your dental treatment by numbing the area. We also offer sedation dentistry options to help those who need an extra level of comfort. 

Tooth Prep

Once you are thoroughly numbed, your dentist will reshape the tooth. This allows the dental crown to fit and blend with your other teeth.  

Impressions

Next, your dentist will take impressions. This allows us to precisely craft your porcelain crown. 

Fabrication

Using CEREC technology, we will begin to create your crown right in our office, which eliminates the need for a temporary crown.

Placement

Once your dental crown is ready, your dentist will bond it to the tooth structure (or implant). All that is left to do is enjoy your newly restored smile. 

Have questions about dental crown treatment?

Have More Extensive Needs?

With a variety of dental options available, we can work with you to find a solution. For example, if you have two or more teeth needing care, you may be better suited for a dental bridge. Have widespread loss or trauma? Consider full or partial dentures. Finally, we can address the root cause of your troubles with treatments like TMJ oral appliance therapy or endodontics.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crown Treatment at Our Hewitt Office

Q. How long will my crown last?

A. Our crowns are made with durable porcelain. With proper care and maintenance, your crown can last for 15 years or more. If you choose an implant-supported crown, the implant itself can potentially remain in place for the rest of your life.

Does dental crown treatment hurt?

No. Your dentist will thoroughly numb the area before your treatment. We also offer sedation options for those with dental anxiety or phobia, or for those who simply need extra pain management. 

Are there alternatives to crowns?

Depending on your needs, there are a few alternatives to dental crowns. Our dental practice offers porcelain veneers and other cosmetic dentistry procedures that can conceal superficial imperfections, as well as tooth-colored fillings that can repair small cavities. During your initial consultation, your dentist will explain your options.
