CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Don't Wait for a Beautiful Smile
CEREC® is an acronym which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration Esthetic Ceramics. This technology gives our dentists the ability to give you a better smile in just one day.
The CAM/CAD technology allows our dentists to fabricate custom crowns in-office. Gone are the days of waiting 2-3 weeks for a traditional crown.
Looking for high-quality CEREC crowns in Waukesha County? Look no further! Our dental practice offers top-notch CEREC crown services, providing durable, natural-looking crowns with the convenience of same-day procedures. With our advanced technology and experienced dental professionals, we strive to deliver exceptional results and personalized care to each of our patients. Schedule your appointment today and experience the convenience and benefits of CEREC crowns at our Waukesha County dental office.
CEREC crowns are innovative dental crowns designed, created, and installed using computer-assisted technology. Unlike traditional crowns that may take weeks to complete, CEREC crowns can be fabricated and placed in a single visit to the dentist. Made from strong ceramic materials, CEREC crowns offer durability, natural aesthetics, and a precise fit, providing an effective solution for restoring damaged or decayed teeth.
A CEREC® machine uses 3D imaging software to create an accurate impression of one or more of your teeth. One of our experienced dentists will x-ray and photograph your teeth and capture them with the machine to create a full 3D model of your mouth.

The Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) software will help highlight the areas that require restoration. The imaging is so precise that the resulting dental crown or veneer will fit your mouth exactly, with little to no adjustments necessary. We then implant the dental crown to replace missing or damaged teeth from your mouth.
The CEREC crown procedure involves several steps:
With CEREC technology, patients can enjoy the convenience of receiving a new crown in just one appointment, eliminating the need for messy impressions and temporary crowns.
What's the difference between CEREC and traditional crowns? CEREC crowns utilize advanced digital scanning and milling to create custom crowns in a single visit. Traditional crowns involve two visits, first for mold impressions and then again for crown placement. By eliminating laboratory fabrication, CEREC produces precisely fitting same-day crowns, reducing headaches of temporaries and second appointments.

The cost of CEREC crowns in Wisconsin can vary depending on factors such as the dentist's experience, location, and individual treatment needs. On average, patients can expect to pay between $500 and $1,500 per tooth for a CEREC crown. However, it's essential to consult with your dentist to obtain an accurate cost estimate based on your specific situation.
Some dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost, while others may not. Additionally, payment plans may be available to help make CEREC crowns more affordable for patients.
Whether insurance covers CEREC crowns depends on the individual insurance plan and the reason for the crown (e.g., medical necessity vs. cosmetic). Some dental insurance plans may provide coverage for a portion of the cost of CEREC crowns, while others may not cover them at all. It's essential to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.
Yes, CEREC crowns are as durable and effective as traditional crowns. They offer the added benefits of convenience and efficiency by providing same-day restoration without the need for multiple appointments or temporary crowns.
CEREC crown appointments typically take about 1.5 to 2 hours from start to finish, including preparation, design, fabrication, and placement of the crown.
With proper care and maintenance, CEREC crowns can last for many years, similar to traditional crowns. On average, they can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or longer, depending on factors such as oral hygiene habits and bite forces.
Caring for CEREC crowns is similar to caring for natural teeth. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings. Avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage to the crown. With proper care, CEREC crowns can provide long-lasting, functional results.
All CEREC® crowns are ceramic and made with CEREC® machines in-office. Schedule an appointment or call us for same-day crowns or other dental services at our Dousman area clinic.
I’ve been a long-time patient and continue to love it! Receptionists are friendly and helpful, hygienists are thorough and kind, and the dentists are great too. I stay because it’s great.
Really loved my experience with Dousman Family Dentistry for the last many many years. I am only transferring because we moved. We will miss you!
Everyone who works here is so kind! I have had a few visits and every single one has been a great experience. I live in East Troy and don't mind the travel time because I can't ask for a better place to go for dental care.
I have been going to Dr. Goral for 25 years. Excellent dentist, kept up with the latest. Listens to the patient. All receptionists, etc. are extremely nice. Jill is my hygienist. She is not only pleasant but efficient.
Dr. Schaeffer was the go-to guy for my family's teeth growing up. He put braces on my very crooked teeth when I was a pre-teen, and when my teeth reverted to their crooked ways, Dr. Schaeffer fixed them once again - this time with an expander and retainers. He is a miracle worker! I've had an expander followed by a retainer on my teeth for 9 months and the results are amazing! A genius in the world of teeth!
Our whole family goes here and they have been wonderful with our young children.
Had an emergency visit and was pleasantly surprised at the cost. Thank you for not price gouging during this pandemic! You guys are all great! Thank you for working during this time of craziness.
I had a great experience at Dousman Dental. I had two crowns put on the left side of my mouth and they decided to do them both at the same time which was great because it saved me a second trip. To be honest I never felt any pain and was as comfortable as could be under the circumstances. I would highly recommend them!
My wife and daughters have been going to Dr. Whalen for many years and I started going a year ago on my wife's recommendation. The staff are always very pleasant, it is an extremely clean facility and I feel very comfortable with trusting Dr. Whalen and his staff with my dental work. I would highly recommend Dousman Family Dentistry.
