Crowns & Same-Day CEREC

A dental crown covers and protects a tooth that has been weakened by decay, a large filling, a root canal, or a fracture. At Dental Office of Dr. Salm, Kanner, and Grandeau, crowns can often be designed and placed using same-day CEREC technology, so a tooth can be restored without a temporary crown or a second appointment.

How Same-Day CEREC Works

Digital Impressions — The tooth is scanned rather than molded with traditional putty.
In-Office Milling — The crown is designed and milled on-site using our CEREC technology.
Same-Visit Placement — The finished crown is checked, adjusted, and bonded in during a single appointment.

When a Crown May Be Recommended

Large Fillings — When a tooth has lost too much structure for a filling alone to support it.
Cracked or Fractured Teeth — To hold a tooth together and prevent further damage.
After Root Canal Therapy — To protect a tooth that has been treated and may be more brittle.

Who Provides This Care

Crowns and same-day CEREC restorations are provided by Dr. Adam Salm, DMD, Dr. Jed Kanner, DDS, and Dr. Hayley Grandeau, DMD, as part of general dentistry care. During your visit, an intraoral camera and digital X-rays may also be used to help evaluate the tooth and plan the restoration.
