A trio of benefits: The beauty, durability, and ease of same-day crowns

From showing you real-time video of trouble spots to painlessly treating cavities and gum disease with lasers, Centre Place Dental prioritizes investments in technology. Technologies support a hassle-free, convenient, and comfortable experience. Patients can hardly believe it when they enter our office with a broken or damaged tooth and walk out later with a beautiful and strong dental crown. Drs Chris and Robin Post complete a process that typically requires two-plus visits in just one visit with same-day technologies for making crowns unavailable at other offices when searching for a “dentist near me in Lincoln, Nebraska.”

Get to know the “magic” behind this process courtesy of the following three facts about this uncommon approach to a common restorative dentistry procedure.

No. 1: CEREC powers same-day crowns

CEREC prepares, designs, makes, refines, and secures dental crowns. It stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.” This means we can make a cosmetic ceramic crown “chairside” or in the office, and many benefits flow from our ability to do this on our own. We do not have to rely on an outside lab to make our crown. In turn, we deliver crowns faster and in the most hassle-free manner possible. This process also supports optimal results because we have eliminated much of the human error associated with the design and preparation of the tooth and crown. Our team also has the utmost quality control, as every step is handled under our roof.

No. 2: Versatile crowns, only better

Dental crowns are among dentists’ most versatile procedures to rebuild damaged and unsightly teeth. The crown itself is designed to fit on top of a tooth that has been prepared, sterilized, and reshaped. It may strengthen a tooth weakened by decay, fractures, and other trauma. Likewise, crowns are used in tooth replacement to anchor dental bridges and restore dental implants. Lastly, they can be appropriate for patients with severe cosmetic concerns, such as a poorly shaped chewing tooth. Due to our use of precision diagnostic and design software and equipment and high-performance dental ceramics, your crowns are made to blend in perfectly with your natural teeth. And they are also made to last, which makes them a great value. 

No. 3: No gooey impressions, fragile temporary, and no wait!

By eliminating the “middleman” or dental lab from the process, Centre Place Dental has also eliminated many of the headaches associated with the conventional crown-making journey. You no longer have to wait two-plus weeks for the lab to make your permanent crown. Our dentists in Lincoln, Nebraska, can make it for you on-site in just 90 minutes! Since you do not have to wait for an outside lab to create your permanent crown, the need for a temporary crown is also avoided. Temporaries are largely applied to protect teeth while permanent crowns are being made; however, this type of restoration is often a source of angst as it tends to break. Temporaries are not built to be as durable as permanent crowns. Our patients also appreciate that we use non-invasive optical impressions rather than traditional, messy, uncomfortable tray and putty impressions to capture information about their mouths. These digital impressions are also highly precise. So, your crown is made right the first time.
