Getting a dental crown used to mean two separate visits, a temporary crown that never quite fit, and weeks of waiting. But for patients in Strongsville, Brunswick, and surrounding communities, that timeline is now optional.

At Hendricks Family Dentistry, we’ve invested in CEREC technology—a revolutionary system that lets us design, craft, and place permanent dental crowns in a single appointment.

The Efficiency Gap: Traditional vs. Same-Day Crowns

Here’s what the traditional dental crown process looks like:

• Appointment #1: Take goopy impressions
• Grind the tooth and place a temporary crown
• Wait two weeks for a dental lab to create your permanent crown
• Appointment #2: Remove the temporary, try in the permanent crown, and hope it fits

Now compare that to our CEREC same-day crown experience:

• Digital scan—no messy molds
• Custom design with 3D software
• In-house ceramic crown milling
• Permanent crown placed that same day

No temporaries. No follow-ups. No hassle.

Learn more about the process and technology on our CEREC Same-Day Crowns service page.

Digital Precision with iTero + 3D Milling

The magic starts with iTero digital impressions, which replace traditional molds with a highly detailed 3D scan of your teeth. This scan gives our team unmatched accuracy when designing your crown—and it’s far more comfortable for you.

From there, we use advanced software to design your restoration, and our on-site milling unit sculpts your crown from a solid block of high-grade ceramic. This means fewer variables, fewer fitting issues, and a completely customized crown ready in about 90 minutes.

Faster Doesn’t Mean Weaker

There’s a common myth that same-day crowns are somehow inferior to lab-made ones. Not true.

The ceramic materials used in our CEREC crowns are just as durable and esthetic as those fabricated in an off-site lab. They’re built to withstand bite force, blend seamlessly with your smile, and last for years with proper care.

Whether you need a crown for a fractured tooth, a large filling, or after a root canal, CEREC delivers the quality and longevity you’d expect—without the wait. You can also learn more about our approach to ceramic crowns and restorative dentistry.

A Better Option for Busy Families

Between school drop-offs, work commutes, sports schedules, and life in general, most Strongsville and Brunswick families don’t have time for multiple dental appointments. That’s where CEREC really shines.

Instead of carving out time for two visits, you can have your tooth fully restored in just one. No missed work. No temporary crown falling off. Just a healthy, natural-looking tooth—done in a day.

Restore Your Smile in One Visit
