Questions About Dental Crowns in Wichita, KS?
Get the Answers in Our FAQs Below
Why Does My Tooth Need A Crown?
A dental crown is a type of dental restoration that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to help protect and strengthen it. A tooth may need a crown for several reasons, such as:
- Large cavity: If a tooth has a large cavity that is too big to be filled with a traditional filling, a crown may be needed to restore the tooth.
- Root canal treatment: After a root canal procedure, the tooth may become weak and brittle, making it susceptible to fractures. A crown can help to strengthen the tooth and prevent any further damage.
- Cracked or broken tooth: If a tooth is cracked or broken, a crown may be needed to restore its shape, size, and strength.
- Cosmetic reasons: Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of a tooth, such as to cover a discolored or misshapen tooth.
How Much Do CEREC Same-Day Crowns Cost?
The cost of a CEREC crown is similar to a traditional, lab-produced crown. However, you save money because only one appointment is needed to complete the procedure.

Are CEREC Crowns Better Than Traditional Crowns?
CEREC crowns have many distinct benefits that make them a great solution for many patients. These include:
- Only one appointment required
- No waiting weeks for your crown to come back from the lab
- No temporary crowns
- Impressions are taken with digital imaging, so no goopy material required
- They are highly durable and built to last
- Look and feel like your natural teeth
How Long Do CEREC Crowns Last?
CEREC crowns have a similar lifetime as traditional crowns, lasting about 15 years. The lifetime depends on the amount of wear and tear your crown receives and how well it is cared for.
To extend the life of your crown, you should be mindful of:
Oral hygiene: Brushing twice a day and flossing daily can help prevent decay and keep your smile and your dental crown healthy.
Lifestyle habits: Smoking, chewing on hard items (ice), consuming sugary drinks, and grinding your teeth can shorten the lifespan of your dental crown.
Maintenance: Visit your dentist for an exam and professional cleaning every six months to keep your crown in top shape.
