What to Expect When Getting a Same-Day Crown
Everyone is busier than ever, and taking time off from work or school to visit the dentist isn’t always convenient. But taking care of your teeth and gums is one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself healthy —and if you’re in Edina, MN, Dr. Bridget Lervick at Grandview Center for Dentistry offers a modern, time-saving solution with same-day CEREC crowns.
What Are Same-Day Dental Crowns?
CEREC crowns stand for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.” With this technology, Dr. Lervick can prepare your tooth, create your custom-designed crown right there in her office, and place it on your tooth all in the same day.
How Are CEREC Crowns Different from Traditional Crowns?
With traditional crowns, you have to visit the dentist twice. The first visit is to prepare your tooth and place a temporary crown. Your dental impressions are then sent to an outside lab, where your permanent crown is created. In a week or two, you return to the dentist’s office to have the crown placed. CEREC same-day crowns eliminate the hassle of waiting.
What Are the Benefits of Same-Day Crowns?
With CEREC technology and a same-day crown, you can enjoy these benefits:
- Crowns are done for you in just one visit
- No messy molds because Dr. Lervick uses digital impressions
- Immediately restored functionality
- Custom-designed to look and feel natural
- Durable ceramic material
- Save time and reduce visits to the dentist
- More comfortable and convenient
- Patients are satisfied with the results
Before and After Actual Patient Results
Are CEREC Crowns Painful?
Getting a same-day crown is a comfortable procedure. Dr. Lervick uses a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area, so you should feel minimal discomfort. It quickly subsides if you still feel some mild discomfort after the procedure. Dr. Lervick and the Grandview Center for Dentistry staff are committed to their patients’ comfort.
Will I Need a Temporary Crown?
Patients usually don’t need a temporary crown if they get a same-day crown. Your permanent crown is immediately placed in the dental office where it’s created. In some cases—for example, a visible front tooth—Dr. Lervick may need to work closely with a lab to get the most optimal result. This scenario may call for a temporary crown.

Are Same-Day Crowns Durable?
CEREC same-day crowns are made using ultra-strong ceramic materials. These materials are highly durable and can easily withstand the biting and chewing your teeth go through daily. With good oral care and regular dental checkups, your same-day crowns will last as long as a traditional crown. Also, Dr. Lervick will give you personalized care instructions on how to keep your crown looking great for many years.
