Same Day Crowns

What is the Cerec Machine?

At Espire Dental, we use a cutting-edge CEREC machine to provide durable and aesthetically-pleasing porcelain dental crowns in just one visit. Generally, dental crown procedures take two visits or more to complete and require the patient to wear a temporary crown that may be uncomfortable.

With this advanced technology, we are able to minimize the number of injections patients receive and provide patients with a faster, more aesthetic outcome, all while preserving more of the natural structure of your teeth. The best part? It completely eliminates the need for temporary crowns. Yay!

*Same-day crowns are available at most Espire offices. Contact your local Espire office for more details!

How do same day crowns with the Cerec machine work?

Prepping your tooth for a same-day crown is very similar to how your tooth would be prepared for a traditional crown. However, instead of taking goopy impressions, they will take a digital image of the tooth using a special camera. This digital image is then brought up on one of the flat-screen televisions right next to the dental chair so they can use it to guide the design of the crown.

Once your Espire dentist perfects the newly designed tooth, the data is sent to the CEREC machine which then creates the tooth exactly to their specifications. The process of creating the crown can take as little as six minutes! The final step is permanently adhering the crown to finish the procedure, ensuring that the dental crown is stable and matches the surrounding teeth.

What are the benefits of the same day crowns with the Cerec machine?

Time and convenience are two of the biggest benefits of receiving a same day dental crown. Instead of requiring the patient to come back for a second visit, the entire procedure can be completed in one scheduled visit. Since the crown procedure is completed the same day, only one set of injections is necessary, lending itself to greater patient comfort. Same day crown procedures also eliminate the need for a temporary crown. The CEREC machine gives your Espire dentist more control over the final crown’s fit and appearance. Another benefit of the CEREC machine is that the crown material is strong and durable, which means with proper dental care, the crown will last a very long time.

Porcelain Dental Crowns

A porcelain dental crown cemented to your original tooth helps to strengthen and reinforce the tooth, like a protective cover. Porcelain crowns are strong and have a natural look, combing both form and function. They can be used for front or back teeth, and may help to correct a more severe tooth breakdown or more extensive decay. In some cases, a traditional dental crown, or cap, is recommended by your dentist. In other cases, a same day crown may be best for you. Ask your Espire dentist whether a same day dental crown or traditional crown is recommended for your specific needs.

Appointment scheduling was quick and painless. Received a call for intake questions prior to first appointment so that all the paperwork was done. We showed up a little early to our appointment and they got us in early. My son had broken his teeth, so they did everything they could to fix them on that initial appointment. Told my son what they were doing every step of the way and when he was uncomfortable they did what they could to distract him. Staff we’re friendly and welcoming and treated us like family. Highly recommend!

I just moved here this week and experienced a horrible toothache! The staff was so kind and accommodating for me to get right in! We he dentist was awesome, explained his assessment and even gave me antibiotics for the infection. The staff welcomed not only myself but my service dog, who loved playing with the staff before we left. Probably the nicest dentist and staff that I have ever met!

Natalie is an amazing hygienist! We always have fun and makes me laugh! And she genuinely cares about the progress and health of what’s going on in my mouth! They also take care of both my kids and make things quick and easy and thanks for the sheep video 😂! I can only speak great things about her and Espire Dental!

Espire Dental came highly recommended to me by my daughter, and I am glad I listened to her. Very professional but not coldly clinical. Instead, I was greeted with a warm Wyoming welcome by each staff member I dealt with. Thank you all at Espire Dental.

Lorie, ESPIRE Patient

I have a bit of anxiety when going to the dentist, however, the staff at Espire are so friendly and welcoming, this was the most pleasant dentist appointment I’ve ever had!! Carol at the front desk was so friendly, and Natalie the hygienist, along with Dr Tolley being so informative and explaining everything very thoroughly! I learned so much more about my dental health with Natalie & Dr Tolley than I ever have at previous dental offices. Thank you Espire & staff for such a positive experience!
