Our teeth have natural crowns or chewing surfaces that play an essential role in how our teeth function. Not only do our natural crowns help us tear and bite food, but it also equally distributes pressure from chewing forces.
If your dentist has recently informed you that you may need a dental crown, try not to delay getting treatment. Though losing part of your natural tooth isn’t ideal, a durable and aesthetic dental crown in West Allis, WI, can improve your smile’s function, appearance, and overall oral health.
Advanced dental technology has made creating and placing dental crowns faster and more comfortable than ever before. These same-day crowns are known as “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic,” or CEREC.
At WisconsinSmiles, we are proud to offer CEREC same-day dental crowns to our patients. With these revolutionary restorations, we can design, mill, and place your new crown in a single dental appointment.
Not only are CEREC same-day crowns attractive and reliable, but patients no longer have to wait weeks to receive their new, permanent tooth. We understand that your time is valuable. Our West Allis dentist Dr. Monteagudo is excited to offer you this innovative technology to give you a new crown in an hour.
CEREC same-day crowns are as simple as a dental filling. Using computer-aided-design/computer-aided-manufacturing, also known as CAD/CAM, Dr. Monteagudo designs and fabricates your new tooth crown while you relax in our comfortable dental office.
Dr. Monteagudo starts by making sure you are comfortable, and he prepares your tooth to receive the crown.
He then takes 3-D scans of your tooth and creates a digital blueprint using special software. We want your new crown to look and function as naturally as possible, which is why Dr. Monteagudo spends time meticulously designing the crown shape, shade, and contours.
He then creates the metal-free restoration using our CEREC machine and immediately places it onto your tooth. You won’t need to wait for a temporary crown or a follow-up visit for placing the permanent crown. After he polishes your tooth, you can leave our office with a beautifully restored smile.
Dental crowns are essential restorations to protect your natural tooth from further damage or decay. A dental crown can even save your natural tooth from extraction and artificial tooth replacement.

Traditional crowns require two visits – one for preparation and placement of a temporary crown, and one for placement of the permanent porcelain crown. CEREC requires just one visit and the design process, from the first scan to the milling of the crown, takes about one hour.
CEREC stands for CEramic REConstruction, or Chairside Economical Restoration for Esthetic Ceramics. CEREC uses computer-aided design and manufacturing called CAD/CAM to take fast, precise, and comfortable impressions. CAD/CAM isn’t messy like dental paste or sticky molds, and it creates a precisely fitted filling, crown, veneer, inlay, or onlay. CEREC makes treatment much faster so you can get back to living your life and enjoying your smile in no time!
With over 20 years of research and over 15 million CEREC restorations worldwide, you can trust a CEREC restoration with confidence.
Two words: time and accuracy. Because traditional crowns require more than one visit and a temporary placement that could crack or fall out, you could be making multiple trips to your dentist. Additionally, traditional crowns created from dental impressions are subject to human error. With CEREC, you can have a custom-fitted crown milled and permanently placed in just one appointment.
CEREC can be used for many different restorations, including inlays, onlays, and veneers. Dr. Monteagudo will discuss whether CEREC is suitable for your restorative needs and esthetic smile goals. In some cases, we defer to lab-made restorations for the best possible result.
If you are interested in CEREC restorations, or you would like to learn more, we invite you to give us a call at (414) 383-5833.
We look forward to helping you reclaim your smile!
