Dental Crowns in Brunswick, OH

Why Patients Choose Our Crowns

• Metal-free, biocompatible ceramic
• Color-matched to your surrounding teeth
• Strong enough for back molars, refined enough for front teeth
• Stain-resistant and designed to last 10 to 15 years or longer
• Available in same-day or traditional formats based on your needs

CEREC Same-Day Crowns

CEREC technology allows us to design, mill, and place a permanent ceramic crown in a single appointment — typically about two hours from start to finish. Instead of wearing a temporary crown for two to three weeks while a lab fabricates the final restoration, you walk out the same day with a custom-fitted, high-strength ceramic crown.

The benefits patients notice most:

• One appointment instead of two
• No temporary crowns to manage between visits
• No second round of numbing or impressions
• A precise digital fit, milled to your exact tooth structure

CEREC works for both front and back teeth and is ideal for patients who want a streamlined experience without sacrificing quality. You can read more about the technology behind same-day restorations on our Technology page.

Traditional Ceramic Crowns

For some cases — particularly more complex restorations, certain aesthetic situations, or specific material preferences — a traditional ceramic crown produced in a dental lab is the better fit. The process takes two visits: one to prepare the tooth and capture a digital impression, and a second to place the final crown after fabrication. You'll wear a temporary crown in between.

Both same-day and traditional options use high-quality ceramic. The difference is in workflow and timing — not in the strength, fit, or longevity of the final result. Your dentist will recommend the option that best matches your tooth, your bite, and your goals.

What to Expect

Whichever route is right for you, the process follows the same core steps:

1. Digital impressions. We use iTero scanning to capture an accurate 3D model of your tooth — no goopy trays.
2. Tooth preparation. The damaged tooth is reshaped to ensure a snug, secure fit for your crown.
3. Design. Your crown is custom-designed for natural shape, color, and bite alignment.
4. Fabrication. Same-day crowns are milled in our office in minutes; traditional crowns are crafted in a dental lab over one to two weeks.
5. Placement. Once ready, the crown is permanently bonded and polished for a seamless finish.

When You Might Need a Crown

Crowns are recommended in a variety of situations, including:

• A large cavity that's too extensive for a filling
• A cracked or fractured tooth
• A worn-down tooth from grinding (bruxism)
• Protecting a tooth after a root canal
• Restoring a dental implant
• Replacing an older crown that's failing or no longer matches your smile

If you're dealing with multiple damaged teeth or widespread restorative needs, a single crown may be part of a larger full mouth rehabilitation plan. We'll always discuss the full picture before recommending treatment.
